LED Penetration in Japan Starting Early High

LED lighting

Especially in the energy crisis in Japan, the amazing growth of the LED industry.As early as 1998, Japan started the industrialization project "21st Century Light Plan" has become one of the world's first release to support LED development policy. In addition, Japan is also the world's first country to ban incandescent light.

Massive support from the Government of Japan, LED industry has been developing rapidly, LED lighting products penetration to grow exponentially. Especially after 2011's "3.11 Earthquake", with the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident caused by measures to promote saving energy,LED lighting penetration rate in Japan increased dramatically. According to statistics, LED bulbs in Japan penetration rate of 60-70%, the highest in the world.

Japan's most iconic LED lighting manufacturer comes Nichia (Nichia). The company was founded in 1956, developed the world's first blue LED in 1993, was subsequently realized the UV - yellow nitride LED and white LED commercialization, greatly expanding LED applications.

Also heavily dependent on energy imports, South Korea will also saving as an important development strategy, therefore pay extra attention to the LED industry. Especially as one of the world's largest mobile phone producer, Korea domestic demand for mobile phone backlight LED the development of national industry. In the current three largest LED manufacturers in Korea, the Samsung LED and LGInnotek were backed by two electronic giants Samsung and LG,Seoul Semiconductor,although relatively independent, but not inferior in technical fields, in recent years, the company launched the "Acriche" is a global The only without inverter AC plug can be directly applied to semiconductor lighting technology.
