LED automotive lamps have broad prospects and are expected to have a penetration rate of 95 in 2013

With the continuous growth of the automobile industry, the automobile safety system has also made great progress, and automobile lamps are an important part of the automobile safety system, which is related to the driving safety and personnel safety of vehicles. At present, automobile lamps have gradually transitioned from traditional tungsten lamps and halogen lamps to LED lamps. Compared with traditional lamps, LED lamps have many advantages such as high light efficiency, no delay, energy saving, long life, low heat, earthquake resistance, high color purity, etc. Therefore, it is bound to become the mainstream lamps in the new energy automobile market. At present, the sales volume of LED automotive lamps application market maintains a growth rate of about every year, with a very broad prospect. In addition to the commonly used taillights and high-position brake lights, LED will also be used on a large scale in turn signals and reversing lights in the future. In 2010, the market scale of domestic LED automotive lamps may exceed 1 billion yuan, and an annual output value of 3 billion yuan may be formed within 5 years. Zhong jiecong, director of Asia Pacific market of Osram optoelectronic semiconductor Asia Co. , Ltd. , said that according to the 'led Special Report' released by iSuppli on 2009 ', it is estimated that about of new cars will use LED in one or more taillights by 2013. Although the market prospect of LED lamps is very broad, the proportion of domestic LED lamps is not high from the perspective of sales situation, and the utilization rate of LED lamps in domestic automobiles is less than 1. The main resistance to the development of LED lamps in the Chinese market is the cost problem. The production technology of LED chips is difficult and the threshold is high. The temperature, humidity, power supply and dust removal requirements in the crystal cultivation process are very strict. In the initial stage, a huge sum of money is needed to build a factory. At present, the main producing area of LED chips is Taiwan, China, which occupies of the LED market. However, most of the LED factories in mainland China are resin packaging and processing, and a large number of chips need to be imported, which is one of the main reasons for the high cost; Secondly, manufacturers and consumers in the domestic automobile industry do not know enough about LED lamps. They are used to comparing the cost of LED lamps with traditional lamps, which affects the rapid development of LED Lamp Industry. At the same time, it also encourages some workshop-type processing enterprises to mix low-quality products into the LED lamp market. Some insiders said that the car companies with large LED usage are concentrated in the car companies, and these car companies generally limit the brand of LED, and domestic LED companies are more difficult to enter their supply chain. In addition, compared with international famous big brands, domestic LED may have more problems in terms of life span and uniformity of sorting. At the same time, the market supervision of automobile lamps itself is strict and the threshold is relatively high, as luxury consumer goods, automobiles are faced with one-to-one customers after sales. Any quality problem will cause complaints. Domestic LED has no chance to experience this kind of market for a long time and on a large scale, it is difficult to meet the car LED standard. Recently, China's independent automobile brand BYD has been fully involved in the entire LED industry chain, from upstream LED epitaxial wafers to midstream packaging, and downstream lighting applications, give full play to BYD's consistent industrial vertical integration advantages. At present, BYD's LED research and development team has more than 400 people, and the four major research institutes of BYD Electric Power Research Institute, Academia Sinica, Engineering Research Institute and Optoelectronics Research Institute have provided technical support for product design, it involves optical testing, thermal testing and power supply design of LED. Although there are still some problems to be solved in China's LED lamps, the advantages of LED such as small volume, vibration resistance, energy saving and long life make it widely used. At present, the application of domestic LED in automobiles has just started. As a major automobile country, its consumption potential is very huge. Therefore, it is necessary for upstream and downstream enterprises to actively cooperate, devote themselves to the integration of automobile industry chain and technology research and development, and jointly create a bright future for the domestic lamp LED industry.
