Let "China create" light the world (economic focus)

Editor's note: speeding up the cultivation and development of major technological breakthroughs, major development needs based on strategic emerging industries, to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure and the mode of economic development, enhance the ability and the international competitiveness of China's independent development, promote economic and social sustainable development has important significance.

As a strategic emerging industries, led ascendant. Under the pattern of the monopoly of the U.S. and Japan LED chip core technology, Nanchang city enterprises hold together to create a global LED chip third technical route, and quickly realize industrialization. With the rapid development of technology and the fierce competition in the industry, the core technology and the leading industry standards are the key to winning. However, the new technology to become a new industry, can not be achieved overnight.

The State Council executive meeting held the day before, must adhere to play the basic role of market and government guidance to promote the combination of science and technology innovation and industrialization combined with enterprises as the main body to promote the combination, the cultivation of strategic emerging industries to become the national economy leading industry and pillar industry. This is also our anatomy of the Nanchang LED industry, the meaning of the sparrow.

"Silicon based luminescence, created in China", "independent innovation, bright Wanli" - this is the Ministry of science and technology minister Wan Gang to Jiangxi, Nanchang, an enterprise inscription.

In 2008 Japan US monopoly LED chip core technology pattern, and is located in the high tech Development Zone in Jiangxi city of Nanchang province latticepower limited creativity in the field of luminescent material of gallium nitride based semiconductor develop third technical routes, is only the "silicon substrate two" independent intellectual property rights LED production enterprises, by the parties pay attention to.

LED light source is a low voltage microelectronic product, but also a new digital information product. "Silicon Chinese creation" light, LED light industry can catch up from behind to dominate the world?

More than 70% of global LED application products processing and manufacturing are completed in China, but the core technology is controlled by Japan and the United States

LED from the last century in 90s out of the lab in Japan, in the global rapid industrialization, and a subversion of the traditional all-powerful optoelectronic industry. LED backlight technology into the field of display in just a few years, multinational companies to produce laptops, mobile phones, the display is 100% LED.

Data show that more than 70% of global processing and manufacturing of LED applications are completed in china. But the domestic more than 1 thousand LED production enterprises, living in the upper reaches of the industry is only more than ten.

In the upper reaches of the industrial chain of LED chip technology roadmap to sapphire substrate and silicon carbide substrate for the mainstream, the core technology and patents are controlled by Japan and the United states. Crystal energy photoelectric Co., Ltd. vice president Wang Min said that the production of LED chips MOCVD equipment technology, but also by the German love of (AIXTRON) Company and the United States Yi Ke (VEECO) Company monopoly.

With the continuous expansion of the LED industry, Japan and the United States and other developed countries have set up technical barriers. In February 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission jointly with Innovage company of Chinese Discovery Kids (TM) Animated Marine lamps and Safari lamps a voluntary recall. Previously, similar incidents have occurred many times. Lack of core technology and patents, so many Chinese companies in patent litigation frequently injured".

A bigger threat is yet to come. 2009, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises in China LED market staking". Insiders believe that has not been in the application of LED technology to fully expand the channels, follow the Japanese technology of domestic LED industry, investment and capacity surplus trend.

Silicon based light, a key step to break the monopoly of foreign technology

In 2008, Nanchang University Professor Jiang led the team in the field of GaN based semiconductor light-emitting materials out of the global LED chip third technical route. Today, only the hair radius of the size of the LED element, crystal photoelectric has more than 130 international and domestic patent technology.

863 project acceptance of the expert group evaluation of silicon substrate technology: the technology to break the current Japanese Nichia monopoly of American Cree company sapphire and silicon carbide substrate of semiconductor lighting technology monopoly situation, the formation of sapphire, silicon carbide, silicon semiconductor lighting technology scheme of a situation of tripartite confrontation situation.

"More than 1 years, our LED chip sales have accounted for about 10% of the domestic market, the domestic packaging enterprises in the downstream of the more than 1 thousand, there are more than and 100 to become our customers. Wang Min said. June 2009, crystal photoelectric Co., Ltd.'s chip products officially foreign sales, LED chip sales this year is expected to reach 14 billion.

Seize the country "ten city lights" semiconductor lighting engineering pilot opportunities in Nanchang city latticepower as a leader, to strengthen the study on silicon substrate technology and application, focusing on the silicon substrate of the chip industry and focus on the development of LED in downstream applications and products. Only Nanchang high tech Development Zone on the scale of a collection of semiconductor lighting enterprises 15, the annual production and sales of semiconductor light-emitting products of about 10000000000 sets, accounting for more than 25% of the national market.

At the beginning of this year, several well-known Vc firm and related aspects of cooperation, invested heavily in building Jinsha River LED Industrial Park in Nanchang, relying on this with independent intellectual property rights LED a new path to build a large industrial park in the upper middle and lower reaches of the LED industry as a whole.

Lead the future, LED industry look forward to the Chinese standard"

It is predicted that in 2010,
