Over the years, developed countries have a large amount of money to support the development of LED lighting industry. In 1998, Japan spent ￥ 6,000,000,000 start of the 21st century light plan "; United States since 2000 to invest $ 500 million to implement the" National Semiconductor rechargeable lamps Plan; same year, the EU has also announced the launch of a similar "rainbow plan.
LED industry in China started in 1970. June 2003, in support of the national "863" plan, the Ministry of Science and Technology for the first time proposed the development of semiconductor lighting program, which opened the curtain of the high-speed development of China's LED lighting.
LED sales in China for the first time the rapid growth of a grand scale from the 2003 city traffic lights. Semaphore only this one, and this brought the high growth of 61% of China's semiconductor lighting market. "National Semiconductor Lighting Project" to promote the LED industry in China has initially formed a relatively complete industrial chain, including the production of LED epitaxial wafers, chip preparation, chip packaging and LED product applications, including. Shenzhen, Nanjing and other cities have also answered the call, spending huge sums to set up industrial park and industrial base, and the promulgation of related industrial development planning.
According to the introduction of electronic products, deputy inspector of the Ministry of Industry, off white, with the accelerated pace of advances in LED technology and the rapidly expanding industrial scale, China has become one of the LED lighting industry is the fastest-growing areas of greatest potential. At present, China has initially formed the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, the northern region, Jiangxi and welfare (state) building (door) region four lighting LED cluster area.
"Guangdong is one of the most developed areas in China's LED industry, and as the 11 focus on the development of emerging industries as the leading the LED cluster area in the Pearl River Delta, Shenzhen, package, and application development fully, packaging production accounts for about 70% of the country, accounting for 50% of the world. "old Jimmy told reporters.
Currently, LED is mainly used in some special field of emergency lighting inverter  or special lighting market, such as landscape lighting, industrial lighting, backlighting, automotive lighting, railway lighting, as well as government in vigorously promote street lighting, also are widely used in other areas. According to statistics, in 2008, LED backlight in flat-panel TVs, notebook market share of more than 20%, more than 50% in 2009, 70% in 2010. Because of its broad market prospects, LED industry rapid warming in recent years in the country.
In the past two years, due to favorable policies, driven, LED industry to a large outbreak. At this stage, the number of people engaged in the industry of more than 50,000 people, more than 20 research institutions, more than 4,000 enterprises; upstream firm with more than 50, more than 1,000 packaging companies, more than 3,000 enterprises downstream applications.
