LED lighting market will reach US $36. 1 billion in 2015

According to the IEK report of Itri, the LED lighting market will reach 36. 1 billion US dollars this year and 72. 6 billion US dollars by 2019, with a market penetration rate of 48. 5. Smart lighting that integrates systems, software and services will become the focus of the market, and OLED is the star of tomorrow. Liu Junting, director of the Institute of electronics and optoelectronics of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, said that with the improvement of the luminous efficiency of LED components, industrial development has moved from technology research and development to system integration and application. Taiwan's LED industry has a strong manufacturing capability and an orderly industrial structure. It can be quickly integrated in the face of new market opportunities and develop towards high-value applications. With the maturity of LED technology, manufacturers have begun to seek new blue ocean and move towards customized intelligent lighting design. Vehicle lighting is an example. Lu Zonglin, manager of the Yiguang research and development department, said that in the past, drivers judged the dangerous passive safety, and through the combination of LED advanced technology and electronic technology, they developed towards active safe and intelligent vehicles. In addition to LED, OLED lighting, which is light, flexible and close to sunlight, is regarded as the lighting star of the next generation. ITRI is a pioneer in technological innovation and research and development. It has joined forces with the Lighting Association to build an 'OLED lighting Theme Pavilion' and exhibited 37 OLED lamps at the 2015 lighting exhibition. This is also the first large-scale commercial display of OLED in Taiwan. In addition to continuous research and development of LED technology, ITRI hopes to promote the complementary coexistence of LED and OLED and pursue a new blue sea for the industry in order to pursue a better lighting life for the public. Liu Junting pointed out that because OLED lighting above 90 is the main body of the lamp, coupled with flexibility and no high heat problems, it is easy to directly combine with building materials. let designers have more flexibility in design to create more lighting application scenarios. He stressed that OLED and LED are complementary and each has its own advantages. LED is a point light source with concentrated lighting light. It should be more eye-catching when used in outdoor environment. It is suitable for local area lighting, advertising signs, traffic warning signs and other applications. OLED is a flat light source with soft light. People can look directly at OLED light source with naked eyes, which is not dazzling and suitable for indoor lighting places. Liu Junting predicts that OLED lighting products will be first applied in the decorative lighting market.
