Development and Reform Commission announces development plan for semiconductor lighting industry

The English name of semiconductor lighting, referred to as LED , is a semiconductor solid-state light emitting device. LED lighting product is manufactured using an LED as a light source of a lighting fixture. In the field of lighting, LED lighting products as a new type of green light source products are considered to be the future development trend and the fourth generation of lighting sources. As a new energy-saving and environmentally friendly industry, semiconductor lighting The energy-saving industry will have development goals. Yesterday, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the "Opinions on the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry" (hereinafter referred to as "opinions"), will encourage domestic equipment, establish a risk compensation mechanism for domestic equipment, support the localization of key equipment, and clarified the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry " Six-year plan ."

The English name of semiconductor lighting, referred to as LED, is a semiconductor solid-state light emitting device. LED lighting products are lighting fixtures that use LEDs as light sources. In the field of lighting, LED lighting products as a new type of green light source products are considered to be the future development trend and the fourth generation of lighting sources.

LED has the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, long life, and small size. It can be widely used in various fields such as indication, display, decoration, backlight , general lighting, and urban nightscape. In recent years, some of the world's economically developed countries have launched a fierce technological competition around the development of LEDs . US investment from $ 500 million since 2000 implementation of the "National Semiconductor Lighting Plan", in July 2000 the EU also announced the launch of a similar "Rainbow plan." With the support of the Ministry of Science, "863" plan, in June 2003 for the first time The development of semiconductor lighting plans and the development of LED lighting have become the focus of the global industry.

At present, the development of China's semiconductor lighting industry is good, the development of epitaxial chip companies is particularly rapid, the scale of packaging companies continues to maintain rapid growth, and lighting applications have made great progress. It is understood that in 2008 China's semiconductor lighting output value of nearly 70 billion yuan, of which 1.9 billion chip output value , packaging value of 18.5 billion yuan, the output value of 45 billion yuan. However, in China's semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry, there are still problems such as the lack of patents and core technologies, the low level of the industry as a whole, the lack of establishment of standards and inspection systems, and the low level of blind investment.

In this regard, the “Opinions” put forward the development goal of China's semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry. By 2015 , the average annual growth rate of the semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry output value will be around 30% ; the market share of products will increase year by year, and the functional lighting will reach 20% . LCD backlight more than 50%, landscape decoration products market share of more than 70%; significantly enhance the capability of independent innovation, large-scale MOCVD equipment, the key raw materials and more than 70% of the chip to achieve localization of the upstream chip-scale production enterprises 3 - 5 homes; significant increase in industrial concentration, owning about 10 leading companies with independent brands and large market influence ; preliminarily setting up a semiconductor lighting standard system; achieving annual electricity savings of 40 billion kwh, equivalent to annual CO2 emission reduction 40 million tons.

In addition, the "Opinions" also clarified the seven major policy measures for the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industries, including overall planning, promoting the healthy and orderly development of the industry, continuing to increase the support for semiconductor lighting technology innovation, and actively encouraging the development of semiconductor lighting energy-saving industries. Policies, etc.

The "Opinions" also require that departments at all levels such as finance, taxation, development and reform, and science and technology should promote the implementation of the state's production of new energy-saving lighting products, engage in state-promoted projects for the import of self-use equipment, and import the equipment and accessories in accordance with the contract. Spare parts shall be exempted from preferential tariffs on imported tariffs within the prescribed scope. We will encourage the purchase of domestic MOCVD equipment, establish a risk compensation mechanism for the use of domestic equipment, and support the localization of key equipment. Promote the inclusion of semiconductor lighting products and key equipment in the energy conservation and environmental protection product catalog, and enjoy the corresponding incentive policies. Promote the integration of semiconductor lighting products into the list of government procurement of energy-saving products. In the areas of roads, industrial and mining enterprises, commercial buildings and households, they have chosen to promote relatively mature semiconductor lighting products, and when conditions are ripe, they will be included in the scope of financial subsidy policy support.
