LED package to modular development companies should pay attention to patents

In 2010, the output value of China's LED lighting industry exceeded 150 billion yuan. At the press conference of the Guangzhou International Lighting Fair held recently, Aladdin Lighting Network reporter learned that as soon as 2015, the LED industry scale will reach 500 billion yuan, and China will enter the top three in the global LED lighting market.

However, there are harsh market challenges in the lucrative waves beneath the vast sea; attractive market opportunities.

Lack of Industry Standards Guarantees Quality to Stand Out

With the rapid development of the LED industry, LED lighting products will have higher and lower light efficiency and color rendering. LED modularization is a trend in the industry, but modularization still has many technical problems that need to be solved, such as heat dissipation problems, reliability issues, light efficiency enhancements, and spot processing problems, all of which need improvement. In particular, the industry standard for modular light sources must be accelerated, otherwise it is difficult to modularize or accept it quickly. At the same time, the lack of industry standards also makes the lack of access to LED companies.

"In the near future, there have been 0.9-2 yuan of 1W light sources on the market. One of the main methods is to use a 0.5W chip as a 1W chip; the second is to purchase wafers, scattered pieces to use as a square piece; third is the low purchase price. There is no guarantee of the quality of auxiliary materials processing light source.” Shenzhen Guangmai Electronics Co., Ltd. General Manager Ye Guangkai told reporters. In the market, a large number of ultra-low-cost light sources are used to create high quality products. These encapsulated lamp beads may be active in the market in the short term, and bring about a false market prosperity. However, along with the gradual standardization of the market and the increase of customers’ rational demand, the quality of LED products is pursued while pursuing low prices. Must be the primary factor that the customer considers, therefore establish the consciousness of quality, establish the quality enterprise is the road that the enterprise must walk in the future, otherwise will be eliminated by the market gradually, a product without quality will not be accepted by the market.

"Informal wafers do not do, only to do square; and under the premise of ensuring quality, try to lower prices, rather lose the customer, without losing quality." Ye Guangkai eyes shining, calm and perseverance said.

Enterprises should pay attention to LED patent issues

In the face of a mixed LED market, how can an enterprise base itself on the market and achieve a harmonious and unified occupation of the market and long-term development? Xie Guanbin, a Beijing-based cubic law firm, believes that companies should focus on LED patent issues. The current status of domestic LED patents is: the industry is far from mature, and there is a vast field of technology that is yet to be developed. The period of protection of some basic patents is about to expire, and the number of licenses, cross-licensing, and authorized entrusted production increases. Xie Guanbin reminded companies to learn to legally use advanced technologies, track patents that are about to expire, sign patent licensing contracts, anti-monopoly licenses, cross-licensing, and authorize production, and can go to countries where patents are not covered to open up markets.

According to Ye Guangkai, Shenzhen Guangmai Electronics researched in the field of light source research and development, which mainly focused on the dual enhancement of heat dissipation, luminous efficiency, and color rendering index of light sources, and also focused on a new generation of ceramic light sources and module light sources. Five patents to win customers with technology and quality.

Ultimately, the market must rely on the product's quality advantage to win, rely on the product's technological innovation to win, rely on the product's cost-effective win, these three aspects have become the company's long-term research topics and most honest and diligent companies.
