“Over the past ten years, China is undergoing a rapid growth in the field of semiconductor lighting and has become one of the global centers for semiconductor research and manufacturing” said Cao Jianlin, Under Secretary of Science and Technology Ministry in the 10th China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum held recently. The fast growth of semiconductor lighting in our country due to many aspects, not only connects with the recent energy saving and emission reduction policy and urbanization, but also related to the fine domestic industrial foundation.
It is known that in the end of 2013, along with other six ministries and the guild, the Science and Technology Ministry imperatively launched the key project of the nation’s 15th Five Year Plan on science and technology, pushing the domestic semiconductor lighting engineering into promotion phase substantially. After ten years’ development, national semiconductor lighting industry is making process continuously in industry scale, technology and production application, turning to the chief manufacturing base for semiconductor lighting products in the world.
The ten years of producing, studying and researching semiconductor lighting jointly in China
“It marks the tenth year after implementing semiconductor lighting engineering in our country so there are quite a few thoughts and introspection.” Wu Ling, President of ISA, Secretary General of National Semiconductor Lighting Project Research and Development and Industry Union listed a series of shocking data below:
In 2013, the lighting effect of semiconductor in our country is less than 20lm/W but reaching 140lm/W in 2013;
In 2013, the patent application of semiconductor lighting in our country every year is 1400, but reaching 25,000 in 2013.
In 2003, the usage of semiconductor lighting is for indicating and displaying but the industry scale surmounted to 250 billion yuan in 2013.
The components of semiconductor lighting not to mention chip in domestic semiconductor market relied on import in 2003 but the chip substitution import reached 75% in 2013.
