From LED energy-saving lamps instead of incandescent lamps to LED displays instead of traditional displays, LEDs, which are light-emitting semiconductor devices, are triggering a new technological revolution, which also promotes energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection. With the vigorous promotion of the government and the transfer of global industries, the future LED industry will face tremendous opportunities for development.

The reporter learned from the LED enterprise forum held in Jiaxing City recently that, as an important part of the six strategic emerging industries in the energy conservation and environmental protection industry, the LED industry in Jiaxing City has seized good opportunities for development from scratch and from On the other hand, the industrial chain has been continuously extended and the scale of the industry has grown. Initially, a relatively complete industrial chain covering sapphire substrates, chip manufacturing, device packaging, and product applications has been formed. In the future, Jiaxing will also issue a series of supporting policies to strengthen the industrial chain cooperation and accelerate the creation of the LED industry "Jiaxing plate."

Last year, the LED production value of the industry chain was about 3 billion yuan. It is understood that the LED industry in Jiaxing City is mainly located in Haining, Xiuzhou, Jiashan, and Haiyan. According to preliminary statistics, the city has dozens of large and small LED-related companies, last year's LED The industrial output value is about 3 billion yuan. According to statistics from the Jiaxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in Jiaxing, a total of nearly 3,000 batches of LED lamps were exported last year, with a value of 100 million U.S. dollars.

The LED industry in Jiaxing has formed a relatively complete industrial chain. Taking Haiyan as an example, in 2008, the county introduced the first LED company, Yawei Lang Optoelectronics (China) Co., Ltd., which is the highest level of technology in the country's light-emitting chip manufacturers, and completed sales of 104 million yuan last year. Under the “magnetism effect” of Avellon, Haiyan currently attracts a batch of Everlight optoelectronics MOCVD equipment, Donghai sapphire substrate, Ai Keai special package, exhibited electronic LCD module, Leiwei lighting, Beiguang lighting, etc. Enterprises settled in equipment manufacturing, upstream epitaxial wafers, sapphire substrates, midstream chips and downstream packaging, applications and supporting materials and other links.

In addition, Jiaxing City also formed some LED industry clusters. Such as Hangzhou Bay LED Optoelectronic Industrial Park located in Haiyan, plans to occupy an area of ​​1500 acres, divided into four functional areas of core services, packaging industry, substrate industry, and application industry. Currently, the park has settled in 8 companies with a total investment of 2.7 billion yuan. The park plans to have a production value of 10 billion yuan in 2015. In Xiuzhou, its LED industry cluster includes chip production, packaging, and product applications.

Upgrading core technologies to occupy high-end industry It is understood that LED epitaxial wafers and chip production account for about 70% of the profits of the industry. At present, more than 4,000 LED companies in the country, most of which are in the packaging and downstream sectors, are the most critical substrate material technologies in the industry. For the production of core devices for epitaxial wafers, technology patents have long been monopolized by foreign companies. The MOCVD epitaxial furnace and its related supporting technologies are the top end of the LED industry chain, mainly relying on imports.

LED companies in Jiaxing City continue to break through these technical barriers at the front end of the industrial chain. For example, Yawei Lang is the only company in China that has independent intellectual property rights and bypasses foreign patent barriers to produce ultra-high-efficiency and high-power blue, green, and white LEDs. Everbright Optoelectronics is trying to break through the MOCVD epitaxial furnace technology. Once it succeeds, it will break the monopoly of Europe and the United States for this equipment.

In the downstream of the industrial chain, our enterprises have also continuously upgraded their technology, brand, and market. Dachen Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., located in Xiuzhou District, provided 3.7 million components for the Shanghai World Expo. It was used in the flood lighting of the Expo Center, the large-scale transparent display of the Expo Center, and the bar display of the theme pavilion of the Expo; Haiyan Zhejiang The LED lamps of Beiguang Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. participated in the key energy-saving renovation project of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing as the lighting above the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People. Not long ago, the country had publicly invited domestic and foreign bidders for financial subsidies to promote LED products in 2012. The four varieties of Zhejiang Shenghui Lighting were included in the procurement scope.

Large projects have potential for development and accelerate the creation of LED "Jiaxing plate"

The promotion of a series of large projects will bring strong development potential to the LED industry in our city. In 2012, there are 10 LED industry projects in the "Five Batches of Major Industrial Investment Projects" of our city. The above-mentioned 6 million pieces of high-quality LED sapphire substrate project of Shangcheng Technology and Shenghui Lighting's annual output of 28 million sets are highly effective. The total investment of the LED light source and luminaire technological transformation project, silicon intelligent electronic LED driver chip and its lighting system project totals 1.18 billion yuan, and will reach an annual sales of over 3 billion yuan.

“The LED industry in Jiaxing has a foundation and strength. I hope that the government can further deepen and upgrade the relevant plans, define the development goals, and introduce supporting policies to make the LED industry in Jiaxing form a dominant block economy and form a national influence.” At the forum Shang Tian Pan Group Chairman and President Pan Jianqing said. Dr. Yan Chunhui, the president of Avellon, hopes that Jiaxing will use existing LED companies to form industry linkages and exchanges and realize the interaction between the industrial chains. He also hopes that the government will give more support to companies' technological innovation and financing.

In the future, the city will have a series of measures to accelerate the creation of the LED industry "Jiaxing plate." For example, the city will establish a LED industry development leading group, formulate relevant plans and issue targeted policies, establish industry associations or industrial alliances, and promote the integration of LED companies in the capital, technology, and industrial chains in order to enhance competitiveness; The city will also increase the construction of LED industry clusters, cultivate different characteristics of the park, and support the LED industry to become bigger and stronger.
