How to maintain innovation in technology
If a company is represented by the body, then LED technological innovation is blood. For LED companies, by increasing new LED lighting products The product development efforts and technological upgrades can to a certain extent grasp the mainstream trend of LED. By analyzing the pattern and positioning of LED lighting products, new breakthroughs are continuously made in product design, quality improvement and cost control.
Lianchuang Optoelectronics stated that in 2015, the company initially formed an operating model that highly integrates postdoctoral research work projects with the company's future technological innovation and product development strategies to promote transformation and development and accelerate the formation of new product economic growth points. The company's key development projects of LED "smart lighting" and "flip-chip technology" are organized and implemented by two PhDs. They combine product technology innovation with market demand and promote the rapid transformation of R&D technology into industrialized technology. Relevant units have also established incentive mechanisms that are highly related to technological innovation and market benefits, or have adopted "borrowing brains and intelligence" measures such as introducing specially appointed experts from Hongcheng and Taiwanese technical experts to achieve breakthroughs in some key technologies and promote considerable progress in new product research and development.
Qinshang Optoelectronics stated that the company has always attached great importance to the research and development of core technologies. Through strategic cooperation in scientific research, it has successively carried out industry-university research on LED applications with famous universities such as Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Tongji University, South China University of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Xi'an Jiaotong University. It is understood that Qinshang Optoelectronics has made fruitful technological achievements, including high-power LED street lamps that have passed three authoritative national tests. At the same time, high-power semiconductor lighting products have also made major breakthroughs in application technologies such as secondary optical systems and heat dissipation systems.
Feile Audio said that through cooperation with the University of California, the University of Missouri, Kyushu University in Japan, Fudan, Tongji, Shanghai, Donghua University, the National Semiconductor Lighting Joint Laboratory, and the International Zhaga Standards Organization, it has undertaken a number of national science and technology support, Natural Science Foundation projects, and Shanghai scientific research plan projects, and has obtained key technologies for solid micromercury, key technologies for quartz and ceramic metal halide lighting, and LED lighting product design. Key technologies of the company, key technologies of AC-HV-LED core modules and system technologies of lighting application design and many other core technologies related to lighting.
Dehao Runda said that the company has more than 800 R&D technicians, including the world's top LED scientists and engineers introduced from the United States, South Korea, Taiwan and other regions; at the same time, the company has greatly enhanced and expanded the company's R&D team and R&D capabilities through industry-university-research cooperation with universities. The company and its holding subsidiaries have obtained dozens of patented technologies in the LED business. An LED R&D system has been formed with the Central Research Institute as the core, and the chip, packaging and lighting research institutes collaborate with each other. Its technological innovation capabilities are at the forefront of the industry.
…………
Through strategic cooperation in scientific research, enterprises are complementing each other in experimentation and practice. The research and development method is very effective. According to the editor's personal experience, the technical topics that we cooperated with companies in college have now become part of the company's patented technology. In addition, there are many LED companies that have achieved technological reform and innovation through patent exchanges or corporate cooperation. They have gone global by cooperating with customers in the upstream and downstream industry chains, maintaining high-end technology, and using large-scale production and low-cost solutions to extend lifespan and good light efficiency, making their products more distinctive to compete and win the market.
Summary:
Due to the lack of key technologies and the weak technological innovation capabilities of enterprises, my country's LED industry is generally still at the low end of the industrial chain, and the added value of products is not high, resulting in overall overcapacity and the difficulty of survival of small and micro enterprises. For enterprises, in the face of fierce competition in the LED market, if they only obtain short-term benefits by lowering prices, rather than promoting product improvements in luminous efficiency, lifespan, quality, design, etc. through technology research and development, Therefore, this short-term profit-making method is not conducive to the brand building of LED companies, nor is it conducive to the improvement of the technical level of the LED industry, nor is it conducive to the healthy development of the entire LED industry chain.
Therefore, if LED companies want to grow and develop, they must strengthen the top-level design and overall arrangement of resources, concentrate their efforts, integrate resources, and optimize the allocation of industrial resources. Increase the technological research and development of key common LED technologies and LED products, proactively arrange next-generation advanced technology projects, and strive to gain a leading advantage in the new round of technological competition.
