95% of new car taillights worldwide are expected to use LEDs in 2013

"Automobile lighting, with the exception of the remote lighting, should be replaced by LED lights." During a visit to the Taiwan Fair's Energy Saving Lighting Fair, Zheng Fuxiong, vice chairman of the Taiwan Electric Association, said.

The reporter learned at the Taiwan Fair's Energy Saving Lighting Fair that LED has been applied to the interior and exterior of automobiles, especially in automotive interior lighting. The application of color LEDs is already very mature, for example, for dashboards, backlighting switches, auto reading lights or headlights. Display system, etc.

A person in charge of the Xiamen Optoelectronics Industry Association stated that at present, the global automotive traditional light source lighting accounts for about 10% of the total output of the lighting source, so the automotive market is the most favored segment of the LED lighting market.

At the 2011 China (Xiamen) LED Indoor Lighting Industry Technology Development Forum, the participating experts believed that within 5 years, the LED auto lighting market scale may form an annual output value of 3 billion yuan. It is estimated that by 2013, about 95% of new cars worldwide will use LEDs in taillights.

It is understood that in the new car LED market, foreign traditional lighting giants OSRAM, Philips and some Japanese manufacturers occupy a monopoly position. In April 2010, the domestic LED chip maker Xiamen Sanan Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. and the auto manufacturer Chery jointly established Wuhu Anrui Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., and its main business is located in vehicle lighting.

However, subject to technical immature and cost constraints, there is still a big difference between the prices of LED lamps and traditional lamps. For example, the price of a mid-to-high class sedan and incandescent lamp combination is 120 yuan/set, and LED After the combination of lights will need 210 yuan / set.

Zheng Fuxiong believes that lowering the price of LED lamps and increasing its luminous efficiency will be the focus of attention in the future development of LED automotive lamps.

Last night, Xiamen Optoelectronics The relevant person in charge of the industry association introduced nearly 200 procurement meetings, bringing about about 42 million US dollars in purchase orders.

The reporter learned at the scene that despite the arrival of 12 internationally renowned buyers such as Philips Lighting and Anda, the “Energy Saving Lighting Product Matching and Information Conference” attracted more from South Asia, Latin America, Oceania, and the Middle East. Emerging market buyers.

“Now, the European and American markets are not a good thing to do.” A person in charge of an LED lighting company in Xiamen said that due to the emergence of a large number of semiconductor lighting production enterprises in China in recent years, and everyone is swarming to the developed countries market, resulting in the technology is not yet complete Mature, the price war has already opened the situation.

The person in charge of the Xiamen Optoelectronics Industry Association stated that this year they have consciously increased their invitations to buyers in emerging markets, and this has also been greatly welcomed by exhibitors of energy-saving lighting companies.
