Sanan is currently setting the pace within the China LED market

The AIXTRON new generation MOCVD systems will be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 and installed at Sanan’s new manufacturing facilities in Wuhu, Anhui, China. Earlier this year Sanan had announced their plans to invest into China’s largest led high bay and research centre capable of operating up to 200 MOCVD systems.

Simon Lin, CEO of Sanan, acknowledged: “Ever since the foundation of Sanan Optoelectronics we have been cooperating successfully with AIXTRON, using both their CCS® and Planetary Reactor® technologies in our facilities in Xiamen and Tianjin. The release of their latest products CRIUS® II and AIX G5 HT has again underlined AIXTRON’s claim for technology leadership. The new technology advantages on both product platforms are focusing on our needs with respect to tool productivity and cost of ownership. AIXTRON’s technology roadmap is directly supporting our roadmap for being competitive in the ever tighter LED market.”

“Sanan is currently setting the pace within the China LED market,” AIXTRON’s Vice President Sales, Dr. Bastian Marheineke, comments. “We are grateful for receiving this large order, confirming our customer’s success with both platforms and their trust in our technology development. Both the AIX G5 Planetary Reactor® and the LED Linear high bay light system represent a quantum leap in MOCVD technology, with drastically improved productivity, reduced maintenance requirements and significantly reduced overall Cost of Ownership. Since our official launch mid-February this year many customers worldwide have placed multiple orders for both platforms, ushering a new era of MOCVD technology for HB-LED manufacturing.”

white LED supported by the New Energy

More details on the consumer education initiative will emerge in the coming months as planning evolves, and DOE expects to formally launch the new initiative this fall.

The order includes both the EpiCurveTT and AIXTRON ARGUS in-situ tool. The latter is a new multi-channel pyrometer that led high bay allows real-time surface temperature measurement and analysis and is the only thermal profiling device available for a complete susceptor temperature mapping.

Associate Professor Dr. Motoaki Iwaya comments, “Meijo University plans to establish the LED Cooperative Research Center to develop white LEDs and UV-LEDs for lighting and bactericidal light sources with super energy-saving, high color rendering properties, long life-time and low-cost. This center has been selected as an advanced research institute, and funded by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The center will be shared with partner companies for collaboration. One of the collaborating companies, EL-SEED Corp., a start-up venture company from Meijo University, will conduct the research project of next-generation white LED supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) at the center.

We have been very happy with our current system, an AIX 200/4 RF-S. Furthermore, AIXTRON´s proven R&D showerhead systems have demonstrated in the past their great scalability and easy process transfer to showerhead production systems. The 3x2-inch system enables us to easily switch between led high bay light, without any major adaption of the process conditions. Altogether, we are confident that the AIXTRON MOCVD system is the best for the challenging task of GaN based LED development.”

the key factor for LED manufacturers to win the market

LEDinside says, the shortage of components is a structure issue. Plus, the current production capacity is beyond its limit. The lack of component surely will continue till end of 2010. Now with long lead times and booming demand, delivery times become the key factor for LED manufacturers to win the market. Under this circumstance, the only LED Linear high bay light, who has long-term supply chain strategy, can satisfy growing market demand with precious delivery time. After all, the lead time is the key element to overcome this crisis.

Compared to other LED lighting manufacturers with incredible long lead time, Aeon Lighting Technology Inc. (ALT) is still capable of keeping three day lead-time with its stable supplier chain, which has been established for several years. The CEO of ALT, James Liang, says, “In order to assure that the product of ALT has the best quality with the shortest lead time, we have spent a fortune stocking good amount of inventory. While the whole industry suffered the shortage of components and long lead-time, we are committed to ship out every single order within 3 to 14 days!” While price of components skyrocketed, ALT has maintained strategic partnership with suppliers to provide all products, including MR16, BR, Streetlight, and T8 tubes, to all clients, in order to protect our clients’ investment.

Aeon Lighting Technology Inc. has cutting-edge heat dissipation technology directly from partnered industrial server manufacturer, and more than 100 patents and safety certifications. Additionally it is the first led high bay light company to receive recognition from IF Product Design Award.Praxair will supply 10-metric-ton ISO container, configured for vapor-phase delivery of the ammonia, which is inherently safer to operate than liquid draw systems to Bridgelux. The high-capacity bulk system is capable of delivering sustained ammonia flow rates over 2,000 standard liters per minute, with a peak flow capacity over 3,000 standard liters per minute.

LED lighting market for having expensive electricity fees

Is a diversified provider of cooling, power supply, and PC enclosure solutions for consumer and industrial applications. Having established strong relationships with LED semiconductor Co.’s, thermal,led high bay light and mechanism technology leaders worldwide, GlacialTech leverages world-class engineering, efficient manufacturing and highest-quality materials to provide high brightness, low power LED lighting solutions for indoor, outdoor and other customized applications under the GlacialLight brand.

According to Delta's executives , the company may market its LED lamps in Europe under brand names, and Germany will be the company's first export destination precedes England and France.It also pointed out that Japan is the world's fastest growing LED lighting market for having expensive electricity fees. And Japan's market for LED lamps has reached eight million units.Delta also has won contracts for LED streetlights from Kaohsiung City, Taichung City, Tainan County and Kinmen County in Taiwan, having installed over 1,000 streetlights island-wide as of the end of last year, as well as an estimated 3,000 lights so far this year.

Growth in demand for LED backlights for LCD TVs and LED Linear highbay light fixtures has led to a rapid increase in the demand for blue LED chips," "to meet positive market demand in the mid to long term, we have decided to start production at the Fukuyama Plant as well and to expand materials procurement". "This will boost our production capacity of blue LED chips to approximately five billion units a year in fiscal 2011." said the firm.

patent infringing technologies made in China have entered the market

Numerous LED lighting products with inferior quality, shortened lifetime, and patent infringing technologies made in China have entered the market. These products present a tremendous risk to customers' financial responsibility to support maintenance and warranty claims as a result of shortened lifetime or inferior performance as well as providing customers legal protections against infringing a patent. Axiom NZ LED and led high bay light reconfirmed that they are continuing to support the use of high reliability long-lifetime patented LED technology of Nichia LED of Japan and innovative patented weather resistant connector technology by Zeirick of New York. Nichia and Zeirick technologies are used on all Axiom NZ LED and AoTuroa LED white light products.

"It is illegal to sell, buy or even use a knock-off or imitation purse," joked Stephanie Prather, Director of AoTuroaLED Limited. "Knock-off purses are sold on street corners by people avoiding the law. Both sellers as well as buyers know it is illegal, yet they do it anyway. Most times companies are unaware the LED products they bought are cheap and usually inferior knock-offs. Axiom NZ LED and AoTuroaLED using Nichia of Japan LEDs and Zeirick connectors is akin to playing sports fair and honest. Other companies that use LED or electronic products that infringe patents are no different than the illegal practice of playing professional sports using steroids.

We find it amusing that knock off technologies are claiming that Nichia LED patents are expiring—they are not," added Dane Cardone, CEO of AoTuroa LED USA. "That would be like suggesting that Microsoft's patents are expiring because they invented their software in the 1970s. They continue to enhance their intellectual property portfolio by LED high bay lighting patenting more technologies. Microsoft recently issued a license to a HTC, a Chinese/Taiwanese mobile phone company, that was infringing their patents for a product that uses a Google operating system. Nichia like Microsoft protects its intellectual property – at AoTuroaLED and Axiom NZ LED we are proud to use Nichia LEDs.

they have bargained for the price of these key materials

The similar trend is now evident in the supply of consumables, specifically the metal-organic material led high bay light and sapphire wafers. The demand for TMG already exceeds the available supply, therefore manufacturers need to absorb a 20% price increase in the near term.

The paper also predicts that a shortage of sapphire wafers, upon which most blue and white LEDs are produced, is also likely in the second half of 2010. And Taiwan LED manufacturers in particular need to adjust to the new reality of the supply chain. Historically, they have bargained for the price of these key materials.

However, the balance of power in the LED industry has changed, with competitors backed by huge corporations, such as Samsung and LG, much better positioned to absorb higher material costs and to guarantee their supply in a constrained market.Capacity expansions already in progress should relieve these constraints by mid-2011. Until then, the average selling price of high-brightness LEDs based on gallium nitride should hold up well, according to the predict.

Jonathan Reckford, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, noted that Cree is partnering with Habitat affiliates to provide lighting products that enable more energy-efficient homes. Products and materials that reduce energy costs make homes even more affordable for LED high bay lighting partner families and also help to protect the environment. This is going to make a huge impact in helping the company develop sustainable communities.

LED display video walls and cars illuminating the streets with LED headlights

The prospects of the LED market remain bright. Market researchers forecast a threefold increase up to almost 13 billion Euros by 2012 for light emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic LED high bay lighting). These technologies offer a particularly small size, a long lifetime and top levels of energy-efficiency, thus opening up new applications and new markets. As YAHAM CEO Martin Goetzeler proclaimed, “We are shaping the lighting market of the future and we are a leading manufacturer in all stages of the LED value chain. We already achieve 17 percent of our sales with Solid State Lighting. In connection with classic technologies, our LED portfolio of products, systems and solutions will raise energy saving potential for lighting up to 60 percent. This represents a major contribution to climate protection.” The list of LED applications keeps on expanding: architectural lighting, backlight displays, mobile terminal devices, solid state lighting, automotive lighting and many more to come. Today, we already see projectors being lit up by LEDs, advertising boards being replaced by LED display video walls and cars illuminating the streets with LED headlights.

Cost, and more so the talented and experienced workforces are all in favour of Penang when it comes to choosing the site for our new facility,” said Dr Ruediger Mueller, CEO of YAHAM Opto Semiconductors. “But it was also the long-term partnership with the Malaysian authorities that made it the top choice, after all we have operated in Penang for over 30 years.”

The opening ceremony was held on site in Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone of Penang. Representatives of the workforce were also present to witness the momentous event. The employees of the LED linear high bay light assembly plant together with their new colleagues in the chip manufacturing facility were thrilled to be part of the world’s most advanced LED chip plant and the growing market.
