From the developing trend of the world, LED due to its excellent performance and environmental protection and energy saving advantages, vigorously promoted by governments around the world. Upstream from the global LED industry division of labor, in LED epitaxial wafer, chip production, the United States, Japan, the European Union still has great technical advantages, Taiwan, China has become the important production base of LED. Current global formed in Japan, the United States, Germany, for industry, followed by China Taiwan, South Korea, China, Malaysia and other countries and regions to actively follow up the echelon distribution. Although China in LED epitaxial wafer, chip on the production technology of distance, there is still a gap between the international advanced level, but the application requirement of domestic large LED downstream vendors to bring huge development opportunities, this is our country the development of LED industry provides a good opportunity. China has launched a series of supporting policies for the LED industry, especially in setting limits the use of traditional light source, the promotion of LED lighting. As China's LED lighting industry matures, China LED lighting applications will become the main driving force of the development of the LED industry in China, our country LED general lighting 2010 annual output value accounted for about 21% of the LED application field production.
LED as a new type of lighting technology, its application prospect has attracted worldwide attention, especially the high brightness LED more known as the 21st century, the most valuable source, will cause a new revolution in the field of lighting. Since the advent of white LED, light-emitting principle and function with other traditional light source in such aspects as unmatched advantage, therefore the LED general lighting products will replace the traditional incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp, traditional lighting lamps and lanterns has been facing serious challenges. Power white LED for entering the general lighting market in addition to the face, such as low luminous efficiency and heat dissipation is not good, the cost is too high, will also face to the integration of optics, mechanism and electric control, etc, and the process of making the universal standard LED lighting products. But these problems, has been gradually resolved, it laid the groundwork for the LED into the general lighting market, LED into general lighting market has become inevitable trend. Our country has become the world's largest lighting producer and exporter, in the field of general lighting package, LED lighting package in China has been a breakthrough in technology, packaging technology, wide band alloy wire technology such as the application of LED lighting products cost dropped substantially, lighting encapsulation has been achieved 7. 6 billion yuan output value of 2010, in 2011 China general lighting packaging market is expected to reach 211. 4. 4 billion yuan.
