In June 2003, China established the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering Coordination Leading Group and started the “National Semiconductor Lighting Projectâ€. After more than two years of practice, under the guidance of the "government guidance, enterprise main body, market-oriented operation" principle, China has become a member of the world's semiconductor lighting family, occupying a place on the international stage, and It is expected to make greater breakthroughs in the development and construction of the 11th Five-Year Plan. Recently, Wu Ling, director of the National Semiconductor Lighting Project Management Office, was invited by the reporter to give a comprehensive introduction to the achievements and future development directions and goals of the semiconductor lighting project in China from the perspective of the development of the national semiconductor lighting industry. The following is a record of the dialogue between the director and director Wu Ling during the interview: First, the National Semiconductor Lighting Project has made gratifying progress during the 10th Five-Year Plan period.
Reporter: 2003-2005 is the start-up period of China's LED. From this year on, semiconductor lighting project will enter an important period of advancement. So, what kind of results have you achieved during the start-up period?
Wu Ling: Since June 2003, the Ministry of Science and Technology took the lead in setting up the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering Coordination Leading Group. Since the National Semiconductor Lighting Project was launched urgently, it has always followed the "immediately addressing the key technologies for industrialization that are urgently needed in the special lighting market, and cultivating white light general lighting in the medium and long term. The established goal of the industry can be said to have achieved a series of breakthroughs in technological innovation and industrialization in more than two years. First of all, in the key technology of the power type high-brightness LED chip, not only the power chip is realized from scratch, but the luminous power reaches 180 mW. The standard Blu-ray chip's luminous power has also increased from 3-4 milliwatts at the beginning of the project in 2003 to the current 6-8 milliwatts, which is close to the international industrialization level of 8-10 milliwatts; it has changed the unfavorable situation that all chips rely on imports. Domestic chips currently account for 37% of the domestic market. Secondly, the power-type white light package has also made a big breakthrough. The luminous power has increased from 20 lumens per watt at the beginning of the project in 2003 to the current 35-40 lumens, which basically reaches 40 lumens of international industrialization level. It can be said that China has become a global An important packaging manufacturing base for the semiconductor lighting industry. In addition, there has been significant progress in the development of system technology integration for semiconductor lighting applications. Newly developed products such as power LED table lamps, automotive lamps, power LED solar garden lights, etc., have been mass-produced and some products are exported. It should be said that through the work during the 10th Five-Year Plan period, good results have been achieved, but this is a phased one.
Reporter: What is the source of funds when starting the project?
Wu Ling: In accordance with the implementation of the "government guidance, enterprise main body", through the scientific and technological research and related plans to invest nearly 100 million yuan in the national funds, under the guidance of the national government funds, led by Xiamen Sanan, Dalian Lumei, etc. A large number of private enterprises within the relevant investment reached 4 billion yuan, resulting in direct economic benefits of more than 600 million, the industry achieved an output value of 13.3 billion yuan, and about 5,000 new jobs.
Reporter: Why are there so many private capitals involved?
Wu Ling: It should be said that this is mainly due to the continuous implementation of a series of technologies, especially the key technologies of industrialization, with the in-depth implementation of the national semiconductor lighting project, laying a solid foundation for the healthy development of the industry and the gradual improvement of competitiveness. A good foundation, coupled with the market potential of the semiconductor lighting application, which is in urgent need of the market, will increase the number of lumens per watt, and some new application markets will emerge, so some private capital will be introduced. Expected investment enthusiasm.
Reporter: How should we understand “development through application�
Wu Ling: As mentioned earlier, with the continuous expansion of market applications, private capital has also been involved more, which has laid an important foundation for the industrial chain to extend upstream, mobilizing the entire industry to expand the industrial chain and increase the added value of products. Enthusiasm has also increased the continuous motivation of enterprises to carry out technological innovation. According to our statistics, under the guidance of the government, the concept of technological innovation of enterprises is increasing day by day. About 10% of new investment funds are used in technology and product research and development. This has led to the continuous upgrading of domestic industries, the emergence of new products, and the increasingly complete industrial chain. The value-added of products and the continuous increase of industrial competitiveness have reached a benign development trend.
Reporter: Is there still a lot of important problems to be solved when LED enters home lighting?
Wu Ling: Of course, it should be said that LED has a long way to go to ordinary home lighting. Before it actually enters the family, there are still many scientific and technical problems. It has to climb many steps to overcome the key to industrialization. Sexual technology, breakthroughs in key equipment and talent bottlenecks and other aspects of the industry to carry out practical and must be fruitful work, this is also the next serious challenge we face, but at the same time, there are also rare opportunities for independent innovation.
Editor's note: China is a big country in the production and export of lighting equipment, but the international competitiveness of China's semiconductor lighting industry is still relatively weak. Therefore, how to continuously expand the application field of semiconductor lighting technology, strengthen and expand China's semiconductor lighting industry, enhance its core competitiveness, and promote this technology to benefit the people and society as soon as possible, is the current work of the national semiconductor lighting project. The core is also a correct understanding of the guiding ideology of “application-oriented developmentâ€.
