LED investment is highly dependent on imports due to overheating

The LED industry, which possesses significant technical advantages such as energy saving and environmental protection, long service life, etc., is a well-deserved "sunrise industry" and should have a vast space for development. However, it has been detained for the "second photovoltaic industry" in the past two years. Hats, the development of the LED industry also experienced the difficult destiny from the bright prospects in early 2009 to 2012. The reason is that in addition to the price drop caused by overheated LED upstream investment and the fierce competition from downstream homogenized products, the vast majority of LED companies in China lack core technologies, and the core products are highly dependent on imported practices, which is the cause of the LED industry's development difficulties. The biggest reason.

In 2013, the LED industry, which has experienced destiny, has gradually improved. With the gradual establishment of national standards and the continuous increase in technological achievements of leading companies, the overcapacity in the LED industry has become increasingly difficult and the LED industry has ushered in a new round of outbreaks.

In March of this year, the Shenzhen Government repealed the “Government Bulletin” to abolish the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Shenzhen LED Industry Development Plan (2009-2015) for more than four years”, which has caused widespread media attention. The time jumped back to 2009, the Shenzhen Municipal Government issued a plan to propose that Shenzhen “builds a nationwide and even globally important LED industry R&D production base.” It is estimated that by 2015, the LED industry scale in Shenzhen will reach more than 130 billion yuan. Planning is seen as a blueprint for many cities in the country to formulate relevant plans. Faced with a completely different situation after four years, industry sources said that although the government documents did not disclose the specific reasons and details, it is undoubtedly directly related to the current development trend of the LED industry, especially overcapacity and overheated investment.

Li Jun, chairman of Liader Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., said that the introduction of the Shenzhen government's exit policy indicates that the government will no longer provide financial subsidies for LED manufacturing companies and the development of the industry. This may be a sign that the development of the LED industry in the future It will rely mainly on the market, and in the long run it will help the LED industry, especially the development of high-end LED applications.

LED display technology ushered in a breakthrough

LED display products first appeared in the late 1980s, and they have been widely used in the field of large-screen display because of their long service life, strong adaptability to the environment, and high price-performance ratio. In recent years, with the significant improvement of LED display technology and the drastic drop in unit cost, LED display application industry has shown an explosive development trend. According to statistics, in 2012, the market size of China's LED display application industry reached 25.3 billion yuan, compared with 2011. The annual 22 billion yuan has increased by 15%.

The continuous expansion of the market scale has benefited from the continuous improvement and improvement of the LED display application industry in terms of large-screen resolution, complete machine reliability, and processes, especially in the field of small-pitch display technology. In recent years, domestic enterprises have made considerable progress. For example, Elijah Photoelectric Co., Ltd. has devoted itself to the development of small-pitch LED display products and achieved breakthroughs in recent years. The dot pitch of its small-pitch LED display products has achieved triple jump in a short span of several years. The 3.0mm pitch is further reduced to 2.5mm, 1.9mm and 1.6mm pitch, and the world’s first smallest 1.2mm fine-pitch LED TV panel. This has created technical conditions for large-scale commercialization of high-resolution, large-size LED displays. Future LED panel TV products will also be expected to gradually replace the current LCD TVs in the high-end TV market of large screens and become the third generation of mainstream display technology in TV history.

At present, LED small-pitch TV products can not only meet the demand for high-end large-screen TVs in public service venues such as large-scale convention centers, movie theaters, and office buildings, but also have huge applications in specific industries such as military, public safety, energy, transportation, and broadcasting. The demand potential is expected to have an explosive growth trend in future product sales.

Li Jun revealed that at present through the cooperation with Taiwan Everlight, the United States Ti, millet technology industry chain companies, and finally make the Leider LED TV in the tiny size of the LED lights.

Judging from the current product technology and application market, the advantages of LED TVs in the large-screen display market are even more pronounced, especially in the display areas of airport stations and other public places, the applications of display screens and high-end home theaters in the fields of transportation, energy, and broadcasting, etc. Pitch LED TVs are expected to replace LCD and pDp plasma products into mainstream display technology. With the further development of LED display technology, small-pitch LED TVs will gradually enter the large-size (100-inch and above) TV market in the near future.
