LED Automotive Lighting industry welcomes market opportunities

As the development direction of automobile lighting in the future, LED lighting is making great strides to enter the automobile lighting market. Recently, at the 2013 Shanghai International Exhibition of auto parts, maintenance, inspection and diagnosis equipment and service supplies, Philips showed its new achievements in applying LED technology to the auto lighting market Xtreme in recent years, with the continuous progress of LED lighting technology, LED has gradually been applied in the field of automotive lighting.

LED lighting has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, longevity, earthquake resistance, small volume, fast response, etc. At present, LED application fields mainly include backlight, general lighting and vehicle lighting. The development of LED market started early in 1960, when the products were mainly low brightness (Light source luminous efficiency is only 0. 1 m/w)The red indicator of is applied. With the improvement of light source efficiency, LED industry is promoted from backlight era to lighting era. As auto parts, the market growth of LED Auto lighting depends on the development of the overall auto market. DominiekPlancke, CEO of Philips Automotive Lighting, said that in 2025, the population will reach 8 billion, of which 2/3 will live in cities.
