Dialysis:The Status Quo of Chinese LED Technology R & D Investment

LED lighting

Chinese LED lighting companies have formed though a very large industrial scale,but in this one, really have the technical research and development capabilities of LED lighting companies are few in number, as the LED manufacturing country, the right to speak in LED patent is very small, then Where is the root cause of the lack of technological innovation in? our LED technology R & D model and corporate R & D investment if there is insufficient? current new perspective, Xiao Bian take you little exploration status quo of China's LED technology R & D investment in order to provide a reference for the industry. "

Our LED Technology R & D Investment of Embarrassment

The recently concluded Frankfurt Lighting Fair, to spread the two Chinese companies were found to have been revoked infringement booth events, in addition, the Chinese national brand business as "highly dangerous people", in addition to the identity of play allowed to take pictures, and more direct refusal Chinese visitors enter booth. It maps out the lack of development of Chinese enterprises and innovative technology, the lack of patent portfolio.

Professor Yang Yi Sun Yat-Sen believes that government money are two categories: basic and strategic research, such as support for the construction and use of national laboratories; Second, and related to the public interest, such as health care, energy security. If only applied R & D work in the economic field, the majority should be done by the enterprises themselves, adhere to market-oriented.

In the survey, we found that business investment in R & D is generally not more than 20%, while no case of all enterprises have carried out projects in collaboration with universities and institutions. Although few companies are not representative of the industry, but we can Glimpse one of two. Cree China Marketing Director Lin LED Network Rail to the new century, told reporters, Career global R & D investment in 2013 was $ 156 million, accounting for Cree year 12% of global revenues, in addition to the current global Cree has been 3100 a number of patents in the patent trial number 3400. Cree LED contrast as well as domestic business R & D investment, although almost the same proportion of R & D investment, according to Lin introduced iron core Cree is relentlessly innovate to promote its LED lighting products market penetration. Reporters believe that perhaps the problem is not corporate R & D investment.

Where drawbacks in?

Domestic scientific research units of the main research and development, business support scientific research units to do the project, "a combination of research" mode, once thought to be the development of a more effective transition mode. However, this model has exposed a lot of "Chinese characteristics" of the state. For example, excessive pursuit of personal interests, decentralized technology development efforts, technological achievements into difficulties and so on.

Insiders said: "Originally, the upstream LED industry has been grasped by foreign companies, mastered the core technology and China's LED chip products are mainly focused on the application of lighting products, but now the standards for these products, but also by foreign companies. seize the initiative, which is very conducive to the development of national industry. "

In recent years, the government fiscal year after year of substantial growth in research funding. National Bureau of Statistics data show that in 2012, funding for research and experimental development of society as a whole amounted to 1.02984 trillion yuan of total investment, up 18.5%, the total ranks third in the world, into a leading position in the emerging strength of developing countries.

However, research funding and output is not proportional to the low efficiency of the current situation is worrying research.

Where enterprises in difficulty?

Domestic LED technology research and development in recent years has also made gratifying achievements, technology has improved, the market share is gradually increasing. However, with the continuous expansion of China's LED business market share, we are worried intellectual property rights of foreign manufacturers raised the knife, it would be China's LED industry disaster.
