How should China develop the LED chip industry?

Author: Engineering led editing character Jackie Chan


In recent years, China's LED chip technology has developed rapidly. In the past year, the number of LED chip companies in China has grown rapidly, and overseas chip companies have accelerated into the Chinese market. The production capacity of LED chip companies in China is expanding, and the LED chip industry is entering the era of Warring States. In this case, how to develop its own core technology, how to stand and rise in the market, China's LED chip industry is facing a test.

At present, China's sapphire substrate white LED has a great breakthrough. It has been reported that the luminous efficiency has reached 90lm/W-100lm/W. At the same time, silicon white LEDs with independent technology property rights have also reached 90lm/W-96lm/W. China's LED chip industry is accelerating its development. At the same time, overseas chip manufacturers are also accelerating their entry into the Chinese market. Cree's construction of a chip factory in Huizhou and Xuming's construction of an LED chip factory in Guangdong Province have made us feel that China's LED chip industry will be in the future. The competitive situation of the wind and the building.

First, the status quo in China

Domestic core: small scale is low

Although China's LED industry is getting stronger and stronger, its high-brightness products still lag behind the world's leading level. Compared with overseas manufacturers, Chinese companies are small-scale, and there is still a huge gap in product quality. Most of the domestic LED chip applications in the low-end products, the company's technical breakthroughs are less, especially in the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the work done less, the future should make a breakthrough in this regard. In general, the LED industry is still somewhat impetuous, and basic research is not enough. There is still a certain gap between power chips and foreign countries, and 85% of high-power chips have to rely on imports.

"External core" struck

Since the second half of last year, international LED chip manufacturers have accelerated the pace of investment in China. The accelerated entry of Cree and Xuming has made China's LED chip industry feel unprecedented urgency and competitive pressure. Dr. Liang Bingwen, chairman of Suzhou Najing Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. and researcher of Suzhou Nano Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that it is a matter of time before international LED manufacturers set up factories in China. They are optimistic about the Chinese market and relatively low intelligence, so they will gradually bring mature technology products to China. In addition, China's chip companies are weak in competitiveness, and China's demand for chips is particularly large. These manufacturers enter China as if they are "into the land of no one."

From another perspective, the entry of these manufacturers also marks the beginning of the mature stage of LED chip technology. Of course, fierce competition is waiting for us in the days to come.

Second, the way of development

Shi Yichang

Zhou Li, deputy general manager of Nanchang Xinlei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. believes that due to the particularity of the LED industry, each enterprise faces the pressure and challenge of high technology, high investment and high risk, especially in the mastery of core technologies, talents and technology. There are many practical difficulties in the introduction, fund raising and capital operation, modern enterprise management, and team building. Everyone wants to be bigger and stronger, but the reality is that not every enterprise engaged in the LED industry can solve the above problems smoothly. .

Therefore, learning and learning from foreign advanced technology and experience, especially the practice of well-known enterprises, will undoubtedly help a lot for every enterprise.

At present, there is not much difference in China's small chips, but there is still a certain gap between power chips and foreign countries. Enterprises have little breakthrough in technology, especially in the electro-optical conversion efficiency, and there should be breakthroughs in this area in the future.

Although China's LED chip industry started later than the United States, Japan and Germany, the technical level is quite different. However, with the increase in domestic demand for high-end products, the investment in research and development has increased, especially the introduction of overseas high-level talents. In the past years, China's technological progress has been relatively fast. For example, Inspur Huaguang's 10×23 mil blue-light chip has been packaged into white light, and the light efficiency has reached 110 lm/W or more. The power efficiency of the power-type WB red light chip has also reached 50 lm/W. The international level of vector production is moving closer.

Specialized

In China, the expansion of old chip makers and the establishment of new chip factories is because everyone is optimistic about the prospects for the development of the LED market. In this process, I hope that everyone can learn from the experience and lessons learned in the development of the LED chip industry in the past. Seeing the root cause of the problem that the LED chip industry has not done well enough so far. Otherwise, blind expansion or investment in a new factory is a very dangerous thing. Because, when a company grows fast, it is also the time to die the fastest. There is a lot of management and market risk here. In particular, some companies do not have their own core technology and intellectual property rights, or have no core technical team. In this case, the risk of large-scale expansion is huge.

Domestically, domestic LED chip companies such as Xiamen Sanan and Dalian Luming are also expanding production and building new plants. At the same time, the number of new LED chip companies is also increasing. Some people think that China's LED chips are entering the Warring States era. Zhou Li, deputy general manager of Nanchang Xinlei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. did not agree. He believes that LED chips have entered the Warring States era, which is not appropriate. Zhou Li believes that the current domestic expansion of LED chips, new construction, and new enterprises are normal. The development prospects of the LED industry are obvious. Everyone is competing for investment and development. This is the law of the market economy. The rise and growth of emerging companies such as Xiamen Sanan, Dalian Lumei, Hangzhou Silan Mingxin, Shandong Inspur Huaguang, and Jiangxi Jingneng Optoelectronics are born in the development of LED industry. Each enterprise has its own characteristics, has its own strategy and development planning, different product structure, different focus, different business strategies and work policies, which will promote the development of China's LED industry and promote market prosperity. Significant significance and far-reaching impact.

People-oriented, "nuclear" is expensive

The entry of international manufacturers is even more inevitable for talent competition. Wang Min, executive vice president of Jingneng Optoelectronics (Jiangxi) Co., Ltd. believes that the large-scale entry of overseas LED chip manufacturers will definitely make industrial talents more nervous in the short term, but from In the long run, it should play a positive role in the cultivation of talents in China's LED industry.

At present, the biggest and most urgent task of China's LED chip factory is to form a core management and technical team that is truly its own. They can grow and develop with the company. Because with the establishment of new companies and the expansion of existing companies, coupled with LED epitaxial chip talents, there is no formal, systematic, high-volume training institutions, which will make the LED industry face a serious shortage of talent. Many companies will use various means to find people and dig people. If an effective talent incentive mechanism cannot be established, the brain drain of some companies will become inevitable.

National regulation of scientific development

At the national level, China's LED industry is in a critical period of blooming, arranging and accelerating development. In response to this feature, the state should strengthen macroeconomic regulation and control, and guide the provinces and municipalities to develop scientific planning while developing local economy. Orderly development, avoiding the popularity of the crowd, repeat investment, repeat construction, repeat the waste of money, waste manpower and material resources. At the same time, changing ideas, changing concepts, and scientific development, both division of labor and cooperation should become the consensus and model for the development of LED industry. Under this premise, enterprises should coordinate their division of labor, scientific planning, scientific management, and orderly competition according to their own specialties. Take the road of self-development, and jointly promote the LED chip manufacturing industry to become bigger and stronger.

Summary: Ten fingers and one sword refer to "Chinese core"

In order to stand out from the crowd, China's LED chip manufacturers must continue to focus on leading enterprises, increase investment in research and development, and master independent intellectual property rights.

China has a large number of cheap manpower, material resources and resource markets, and the guidance and support of national policies have attracted the attention of all countries in the world. International companies have seen China's future development trend, of course, will not let go of this business opportunity, have accelerated into the Chinese LED market, which will intensify the competition of China's LED chip industry, and it is expected that this competition will be very fierce. But on another level, competition is inevitable, and backwardness must be eliminated. The key is how to deal with the industry as a national industry. How to protect our national industry while developing and learning from others' advanced technologies, develop our own core technologies, and strengthen Its own innovative ability, enhance the technical content and technical level, develop the stamina, and finally stand firm and compete with well-known foreign companies.

A crisis has quietly approached our country's LED chip factory. China's chip factories should quickly carry out upstream and downstream integration, clarify their own market positioning, and choose to open the situation from an application field, so that there is hope for survival and development. The time for the market to give Chinese chip factories is running out.
