LED industry of China and the World from 2009 to 2010
DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Research Report on the LED Industry of China and the World from 2009 to 2010" report to its offering.
In the 1950s, RCA first found the infrared radiation of gallium arsenide in other semiconductor alloys. LED is a luminescence component made of semiconductor materials. The component has two electrode terminals. Voltage is applied between the terminals and electricity is switched on.
After the combination of electricity and hole, the remaining power is released in form of light. Different materials have different wavelengths and thus send out lights of various colors. This is the basic lighting theory of LED.
LED can only be applied in diodes that can send out visible light. The diodes that send out near-infrared radiation are called IRED. The diodes that can send out some ultraviolet radiation are called UVLED, and their emission peak wavelengths are near visible short wave length limits.
But generally, the above-mentioned three semiconductor diodes are collectively called LED. According to their different encapsulations, they can be divided into Lamp LED, Display LED and SMD LED. LAMP and DISPLAY belong to the mature market and their growing space is limited.
According to their different constituents, LED wafers can be divided into binary wafers (GaP, GaAS), ternary wafers (GaAlP, GaAsP), quaternary wafers (InGaAlP) and chloride wafers (GaN). Chloride wafers mainly include blue-ray, pure green-ray and white-ray wafers. They have different materials and manufacturing procedures. That LED can be so highly valued is also because of GaN materials.
The global LED industries are mainly concentrated in Japan, EU and Taiwan. EU is mainly dependent on PHILIPS and OSRAM. Japan has Nichia, Toshiba, Showa Denko, Sharp, Citizen and Toyota Gosei. Only Nichia produces mainly LED. But even Nichia, it has a high rate of phosphor business. America has CREE.
These areas have a very high industrial concentration of LED. The top three manufacturers account for over 80 percent, even 90 percent of the output values. The LED industry is comparatively scattered in Taiwan. But its top three manufacturers also account for nearly 40 percent of the output values.
Manufacturers in the mainland are most scattered and they are mainly concentrated in the Downstream. There are nearly 1,000 manufactures mainly doing the packing of LAMP with the lowest profits. Less than five manufacturers can do large-scale SMD packing and less than 10 manufacturers can produce large-scale outdoor LED displays.
There are less than 10 manufacturers producing in the upper course and most of them produce low-end binary red/green LED. The main packing enterprises are Xiamen Hualian, Foshan Guoxing, Jiangsu Wenrun, Huizhou Huagang, Shenzhen Guangliangzi, Ningbo Hepu, Jiangxi Lianchuang, Tianjin Tianxing, Lanfang Xingu, Shenzhen Ruifeng, Shenzhen Ledman and Zhuhai Leedfull (Hongke)
There are almost 10 scaled LED producers in Chinese mainland, among which there are five listed companies dealing with LED-related business. Only in Saman, Newmargin and Silan LED business accounts for over 10 percent.

Many patents in LED industry to expire in 2010!
DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Research Report of Global and Chinese Light-Emitting Diode Industry, 2009" report to its offering.
Light-emitting diode is one of the semiconductor diodes, which can turn electrical energy into luminous energy and emit visible light in various colors, such as yellow, green, blue, etc, as well as invisible light, such as infrared and ultraviolet light.
Compared with small incandescent bulb and the neon lamp, light-emitting diodes are specially characterized with low operating voltage and electric current, high reliability and long performance.
The entry barriers of the light-emitting diode industry from the upstream to the downstream are cut down gradually. The upstream industry includes mono-crystalline chip and the epitaxial wafer while the middle stream industry is mainly engaged in chip processing and the downstream industry handles packaging, testing and application.
The upstream and middle stream industries, most competitive and risky fields on world market, have higher technical contents and require more investments. In the industrial chain of light-emitting diode, epitaxial wafer and chip account for about 70 percent of profits and the packaging accounts for 10 to 20 percent of profits, with 10-20 percent held by application field.
Under international energy crisis and the gradual improvement of the environmental protection requirements, the semiconductor light-emitting diode lighting, long performance, energy saving, safe, green and environmental protection, abundant colors and microminiaturization, has been recognized as the only one manner of energy saving and environmental protection in the world.
The semiconductor lights, adopting light-emitting diode as the new lighting source, only run up one tenth of the electricity compared with the ordinary white light lamps and the performance can be postponed ten folds at the same brightness.
In 2007, the total amount of the global LED market exceeded $6 billion, up by 13.7 percent over the previous year. During 2006 to 2012, the annual compound growth rate of the global LED market will reach 10 percent, most of which will mainly be contributed by the ultra high and high brightness LEDs.
The global LED industry is mainly concentrated in Japan, Taiwan, Europe, America, South Korea, China, etc. Japan, the largest producer of the light-emitting diode industry in the world, holds 50 percent of the market share.
Nichia Corp. is the world's largest provider of the high-brightness light-emitting diodes. Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd is the world's fourth largest and Japanese is the second largest manufacturer of the light-emitting diodes.
Osram Opto, located in the Europe and America, is the world's second largest and European is the largest manufacturer of the high-brightness light-emitting diodes. Taiwan, the global production base of the consumption electronic products, is mainly engaged in the production of the visible light-emitting diodes.
Taiwan is also the world's largest downstream packaging and middle stream chip production base.
With more than 30-year development, Chinese light-emitting diode industry has formed the basically complete industrial chains, covering the LED inside, epitaxial wafer, chip package and application.
At present, China has over 600 LED enterprises specializing in the downstream packaging and application. But the development of the epitaxial wafer and chip is comparatively backward. There are only about 10 enterprises engaged in the production of the epitaxial wafer for LED, as well as few chip manufacturers. So, the yield capacity enjoys a high degree of concentration.
With gradual enhancement of the luminous efficiency and application technologies, the application of the light-emitting diodes has been transferred from the initial indicator lights to screens, such as the landscape lighting, backlight, automobile lights, traffic lights, lighting areas, etc.
The application of the light-emitting diodes is now in diverse development. It is predicted that the average compound growth rate of sales of the display light-emitting diodes will be above 15 percent in 2006 to 2010 and the annual average compound growth rate of sales of the landscape lighting will reach over 35 percent, with the annual average compound growth rate of sales of the backlight light-emitting diodes at more than 30 percent.
In 2010, many patents in the light-emitting diode industry will expire. Chinese enterprises are expected to break through the shackles of the intellectual property rights from European, American and Japanese giants. They should make good use of huge market bases and abundant labor resources in order to occupy a place in the global light-emitting diode market.
