"Global LED application 100 selection" can be said to show the "LED world strength" of the selection activities. Following the first LED application Summit Forum and the world’s top 50 companies selected in October 2010 after the successful hosting of the world LED times and hosted the second session of the LED application Summit Forum and the world’s top 100 LED application selection. Why so much attention to the application of LED it? This is because we have seen the development of LED applications difficult and broad future, held the second session of the LED Application Forum and the world’s top 100 LED application designed to allow enterprises in the industrial chain downstream stand out".

LED application in the future should not be overlooked

In recent years, the rapid development of LED technology, and used widely in city landscape lighting, road lighting, LED lighting companies have continued to increase, industry output expands quickly, become the focus of the development of world economic revitalization.

After a series of policies in 2010 and the recent "12th Five-Year" content, we can find that LED has been raised to an unprecedented height of the country. In the LED industry, whether it is upstream, midstream or downstream, the mainland government has China LED subsidy policies or projects to actively foster the semiconductor lighting industry, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Jiangmen and other places have established LED industry support plan, the local government is more focused on the fire force for the development of LED lighting technology area, such as the day there are 6 photoelectric project located in Shaowu economic development zone; Huaian’s first LED photoelectric project located in the Qinghe district; the first China LED automobile headlamp project in Yunxiao County photoelectric park; Zhuhai, Shenzhen Elec-Tech has in Guangdong, Liaoning Dalian, Jiangsu Yangzhou, Anhui Wuhu and Bengbu City to establish industrial base, through cooperation and investment in new LED, involved in the chip, package, application in various fields; domestic security giant taihe’an in Dongguan Songshan Lake billion investment founded LiveView photoelectric , with the help of independent innovation of the core technology first "LED parking intelligent lighting and auxiliary management system" fully involved in the LED package, application areas. There is a rapid increase in LED listed companies, foreign LED companies began to invest in China, Taiwan funded enterprises to actively invest in the construction of the mainland LED plant, has been replaced by the active layout of the past. This shows that the LED industry chain is becoming more and more perfect, at the same time the pattern of competition has become more and more fierce.

LED technology bottlenecks, low threshold learning has always been criticized by the industry. Technical barriers, patent barriers to the domestic LED application export enterprises suffered. During a typical example is the 2008 China LED companies suffered a massive patent investigation, but in recent years there will be no large-scale war patent disputes, LED enterprises can seize the opportunity, through cooperation, establish the weak alliance development route out of the encirclement to strengthen the international patent. But it is clear that the application of LED threshold is also be arranged, such as TV backlight products technical threshold is higher, the supply chain is closed, such enterprises also pay more attention to the patent application, so this is not easy to enter the market. The LED lighting market because of a wide distribution, high and low, the threshold is low, may be relatively fast development.

At present, the domestic technology, a patented LED companies have to apply for a patent, and exhaust all means to use the patent protection and exclusion of other manufacturers. LED lighting industry in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province as an example, LED lighting industry in Shenzhen, the most concentrated, there are LED lighting enterprises have more than 2 thousand and 600, nearly half of the country occupied the domestic total output value of LED. As the largest industrial base LED China, LED lighting industry, the development of green energy industry in Shenzhen has become a new focus of future development and breakthrough, and the core patent as the basic strategy of innovation of science and technology, become the key to winning business. According to the State Intellectual Property Office, the relevant responsible person said, Shenzhen City, the LED patent application in the country’s first.

With the rise of the lighting market and the rapid development of the field of TV backlight, the future patent disputes will be inevitable. Have their own core technology, in the future market competition in the base. The patent on the struggle in fact associated with long-term development of the LED industry, from the recent Samsung LED company sued OSRAM for infringement of its 8 "core" LED patent technology patent barrier is the main means to set the visible LED leading enterprises avoid competition. However, now the patent gradually transferred to the lower reaches of the application, which undoubtedly brings a big advantage to the downstream application of LED manufacturers, especially in Taiwan and South Korea manufacturers will be the first to profit. Due to the size of the mainland enterprises scattered, the overall level of development is limited, if you can advance layout, will be able to effectively seize the opportunity to compete for patent, becoming the beneficiaries of Taiwan, South korea.

LED applications need high-end platform

LED can be widely applied in the domestic LED market coverage, including LED display, lighting, street lamps, comprehensive traffic signal and the mobile phone keyboard, digital camera, large size LCD TV screen, notebook computer and other LED display screen. Due to the low cost of manufacturing power and a broad market, the number of LED applications in China in the past two years the number of domestic LED industry chain accounted for the main position, the market share accounted for more than 70% of the global. LED display, for example, as one of the most mature areas of China’s LED applications, China has become the world’s LED display manufacturing base. According to the reporter, in 2010 China’s LED display market output value reached 18 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of 54%. LED global market share from 70% in 2008, an increase of 83% in 2010. Thus, China’s potential to become a powerful country is also worthy of application.
