    The coming era of LED lighting applications, but the rate of price decline has become an important threshold, LED epitaxial plant Feng Ren Chien, chairman of Formosa Epitaxy, said the past practice in the IT industry breakthrough in technology, it is focused on improving luminous efficiency lm / W, and lighting manufacturers to change the trend of thinking, to improve drive current through a shortcut, quick to reduce cost of LED lighting, making the cost (lm / $) achieve significant improvement, Formosa Epitaxy is expected in 2011 will reach 300lm / $ level.

    LED industry is currently in lm / $'s performance is far more than originally planned, the DOE, the main way is by increasing the drive current, improved lumens brightness, the U.S. LED maker Cree, Lumileds have been used in this way, but the drawback is possible lead to the demands of energy-saving advantages of LED tube lighting applications will increase power consumption, making the energy performance compromised.

    Compared lm / $ rapid progress since the first half of 2011, luminous efficiency of the industry appear to enhance the speed is slow, after the current package will remain in the luminous efficiency of 120 ~ 130m / W, even in 2015 the industry will continue to keep up with DOE The goal, he believes that the current shift to LED industry = by lighting manufacturers from the impact of the past, the industry focus on improved luminous efficiency, is now thinking of changing the IT industry, by increasing the drive current to the LED lighting in the early promotion when, to quickly upgrade lm / $ shortcut, will help expedite the implementation of the popularity of LED lighting market to quickly lower prices to create new markets, and promote consumer acceptance of LED lighting new applications.

    Lighting market in 2011 will exceed the growth performance of the backlight market, accounting for revenues from the LED light from the second quarter, about 18% to the end of the year to 25%, and LED lighting market in China to strengthen the layout, as crystal power the brand with global lighting manufacturers to jointly develop new models, 2011 to 2012 the proportion of LED lighting will reach 25% to 30%, and LED bulbs in 2013 reached 100 million shipments of the target.
