Shanghai Institute of science and technology to undertake Shanghai semiconductor lighting product technology roadmap through the acceptance

LED, the foreign word for semiconductor lighting has been known to the Chinese people. With the extensive application of LED lamps in the field of building lighting, the history of human lighting is coming into a new era of green light after incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp. But the day before the completion of the Shanghai Academy of Sciences, Shanghai semiconductor lighting technology roadmap "research shows that from overseas semiconductor lighting patent predators who are in Shanghai and the national semiconductor lighting industry to form the encirclement, the whole industry to break through innovation. As a key project of science and technology development fund of the Municipal Science and Technology Commission, this "road map" has been passed.

According to the U.S. Department of energy predicts that by 2010, the United States will have 55% of incandescent and fluorescent lamps are replaced by LED lights, and Japan since the beginning of 2006 to replace the traditional large-scale LED lamp. Under this trend, the U.S. General Electric, Holland PHILPS, OSRAM of Germany as the representative of the three lighting giant multinational companies have to cooperate with the upstream semiconductor company, new semiconductor lighting enterprises, and to seize the commanding heights of patent in our country, to build patent encirclement. Such as General Electric has set up a new world class lighting company in Shanghai, which occupy a larger market share.

Shanghai Academy of sciences research shows that the world's semiconductor lighting patent applications grew rapidly, which has the largest number of patents, accounting for nearly 40%. The mainland of China in the field of patent applications, if placed on the global corporate rankings, only about half of the 1500 patents about Sony Corp, ranked Samsung Corp, the list of the tenth. It is worth noting that a considerable part of the local patents are controlled in the hands of enterprises outside the mainland, there are currently about 16 countries and regions in the mainland to apply for semiconductor lighting patents, accounting for the total amount of my patent of 40%. From the point of view of the distribution of the country, the Japanese funded multinational enterprises accounted for half of the country, and its control of the patent distribution of LED products in the extension, chip and packaging, and other aspects of the patent rights of the whole set up.

It is understood that Shanghai semiconductor lighting patent level compared with other regions of the country, there are still some gaps. Research data show that the main areas of domestic patent distribution in Taiwan, Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and so on. Among them, some overseas research institutes and universities patent ownership is relatively concentrated, such as Zhejiang University, Nanjing University and the Institute of semiconductors in the industrial chain extension link patents, respectively, ranking third in the country, fourth, tenth. In terms of epitaxial equipment, Shanghai is obviously lagging behind in Zhejiang, is still basically blank. It is thought-provoking that the current proportion of local enterprises accounted for less than 5% of the entire industry patents, which is different from foreign companies as the main patent applications.

The "road map", one of the goals of Shanghai is "practical application" LED lighting in a number of municipal engineering, and in the demonstration, through government procurement and market demand, and increase investment in research and development, the gradual development of a terminal which has independent intellectual property rights should be used for products, guide enterprises bigger and stronger. The project experts said that Shanghai has a certain advantage in the field of LED material technology, should continue to maintain the development of the national industrial chain.
