Policy support China LED companies can find bright

As China started late in the LED industry, and was monopolized by foreign monopolies on the basis of LED core technology and patents, the development is relatively slow. However, with the national and local support for the LED industry gradually increasing, the Chinese LED industry has entered the development period .

According to the survey, China has introduced a number of policies since 2009 to support and encourage the development of the LED industry. In April 2009, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the "Replied Letter on the Agreed Implementation of the Trial City Lighting Project Pilot Application". According to the plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology, 2 million LED street lamps will be built in 50 cities. In September of the same year, the six ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the “Opinions on the Development of Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry”, which proposed that large-scale MOCVD equipment, key raw materials, and more than 70% of chips will be domestically produced, and upstream chip-scale production enterprises. Up to 5 companies with significant increase in industry concentration, 10 key leading companies with independent brands and large market influence; preliminarily established a semiconductor lighting standard system; by 2015, the average annual growth rate will be around 30%, functional lighting The market share reaches 20%; the liquid crystal backlight source reaches more than 50%, and the market share of landscape decoration and other products reaches more than 70%.

In February 2013, the six ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the “Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry Plan”. The planning goal is to achieve LED chip localization rates of more than 80%, and silicon-based LED chips have made important breakthroughs. The luminous efficiency of core devices and the quality of applied products have reached the international advanced level in the same period; large-scale MOCVD equipment and key raw materials have been domesticized, and the localization rate of detection equipment has reached over 70%. To establish a world-class level of research and development, testing platforms, standards, and certification systems; By 2015, all 60W incandescent lamps will be eliminated, the market share will drop below 10%, and the market share of LED functional lighting products will reach 20 More than %; LED lighting energy-saving industry output value increased by an average of 30%, in 2015 reached 450 billion yuan (of which 180 billion yuan LED lighting applications; form 10-15 master core technologies, have more independent intellectual property rights and well-known brands, Leading company with strong quality competitiveness.

At the same time, many domestic provinces have put forward the "local version" of the LED industry development policy based on the needs of energy conservation and environmental protection. In April 2011, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology issued the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the LED Industry in Guangdong Province”. The plan proposes that by 2015, one to two leading enterprises with an output value of 10 billion yuan will be nurtured, cultivating 1 to 2 With an industrial cluster with an output value of 100 billion yuan, the province's LED strategic emerging industries have exceeded 300 billion yuan.

In 2009, Yangzhou proposed to subsidize the purchase of LEDs. Among them, the blue-green light MOCVD31 chip machine and above, subsidy funds up to 10 million yuan / Taiwan; red and yellow light MOCVD 38-chip machine and above, subsidy funds up to 8 million yuan / Taiwan (city, district two levels of financial commitment 50 %). According to calculations, Yangzhou Light invested 1 billion yuan in the field of equipment subsidies.

In terms of product applications, Shenzhen proposed that companies participating in LED demonstration projects of government investment projects should be given a 10% subsidy based on the price of the fixtures and discounted for 3 years. For companies that undertake LED application demonstration projects for corporate investment projects, subsidies are provided at 30% of the price of LED lamps.

Industry analysts believe that with the support of national policies, the promotion of financial subsidies and the implementation of LED lighting by the national and local governments, this has played a guiding role in the development of LED companies. At the same time, it also enables enterprises to use technology through financial support. On the breakthrough, enterprises will have more confidence to face market competition and accelerate the internationalization of China's LED industry.

The policy supports the continuous release of China's LED companies' bright state-seeking preferential policies. At the same time, it supports them with funds and subsidies, demonstrating the country's determination to develop strategic emerging industries for energy conservation and environmental protection. Under the active promotion of the government, China's LED companies are committed to technological innovation, creativity, R & D capabilities continue to increase, and actively through vertical integration, extending the industrial chain, the development of industrial clusters, and gradually narrowing the gap with the world's traditional LED giant.

China's LED epitaxial materials, chip manufacturing, device packaging, phosphors and other aspects have shown the cell technology with independent technology property rights, some of the core technology has originality, initially formed from the upstream material, midstream chip preparation, downstream device packaging and integrated applications The relatively complete R&D and industrial system laid a solid foundation for the development of China's LED industry to a certain extent. At present, the 863 project undertaking unit has applied for 241 patents, including 152 invention patents and 17 foreign invention patents.

Major breakthroughs have been made in the key technologies for industrialization. Power-based chips have grown from scratch, and the proportion of domestically-made chip replacement imports has increased year-on-year, reaching 46% so far. The power-type white LED package is close to the international advanced level and has become an important global LED packaging base. The 100 lm/W LED manufacturing technology with the company as the main body has progressed rapidly, and the industrialization line has achieved better results of approximately 70 lm/W. Power-based silicon-based LED chips with proprietary intellectual property rights have a white light efficiency of more than 50 lumens/watt.

Large-scale system integration technology research and major applications are progressing smoothly. The application product category and scale are in the forefront of the world and have become the largest production and exporter of global LED full-color display, solar LED, landscape lighting and other application products. In July 2008, Hisense's first 42-inch ultra-thin LED-backlit LCD TV was officially launched, breaking the monopoly of foreign manufacturers, indicating that Chinese consumer electronic products, which account for 40% of world production, began to use LED technology on a large scale. In 2012, China's semiconductor lighting industry output value has exceeded 190 billion yuan.

Under the support of the national policy, in the innovation and transformation of the enterprise itself, a large number of LED brand enterprises led by Sanan Optoelectronics (600703) emerged in China. The Chinese LED industry is seeking from the “product” to the “brand”. Change, and continue to promote the transformation of China's LED industry from "Made in China" to "Created in China."
