LED Lighting— the Last Chance of Taiwan LED Industry

Following the DRAM and the solar energy industry a bleak future, it is reported that Taiwan LED industry may be hurled into the cold winter. Because the backlight need is difficult to control, so in the first quarter of next year, the boom may look bad.

According to the relate information, Taiwan has a complete LED technology and patent, this makes the LED lighting become Taiwan’s strengths, but Taiwan lacks of mercury vapor, energy-saving bulb these industries,. Experts think, Taiwan LED lighting production capacity, is quite close with the global companies such as Phillips, Osram, if it can not grasp that ability to seize opportunities, it’s easy to miss the opportunity to become the world the first.

According to Strategies Unlimited statistics, South Korea’s LED production value has beyond Taiwan since 2009, ranked the second following Japan, Taiwan is packed to the third. One of the important reasons is that government neglects the international companies’ competition. For example, past DRAM and LCD panel were Taiwan two million binary industries, but because the government ignored South Korea’s competition, resulting in Taiwan lost opportunity to the first of the world.

Experts think, in the LED market, because South Korea competing firms have TV panel giant for support, they almost mastered most LED backlighting market, making companies in Taiwan living space much smaller. The future LED industry in Taiwan must be have redouble efforts on LED lighting industry, and couple with the government properly support to grasp the opportunity.

Expert proposed that the government should imitate Japan and South Korea and other countries practice, comprehensive accelerating for replacing the public sector indoor lighting and street LED lighting, and revising for green building regulations, the introduction of mandatory LED lighting. Because LED light bulb contains no mercury, so it is the real environmental light source.
