Since the birth of the first red semiconductor light-emitting diode in 1962, people have continuously developed various monochrome LEDs such as orange, yellow, and green, which have been used for various signal indications, signage, and digital displays, gradually developing into small LED display screens. It uses solid semiconductor chips as luminescent materials, and when excess energy is released, it causes photon emission, producing LEDs that can be made from semiconductor PN junction light sources. It was first developed in the early 1960s, and in 1964, red light-emitting diodes were successfully developed, followed by yellow LEDs.

 

 

 

The world's first commercial light-emitting diode (LED) was made of germanium material in 1965, with a unit price of $45. Shortly thereafter, Monsanto and HP successively launched commercial LEDs made of GaAsP materials. This is much lower than the 151m of typical 60-100W incandescent lamps. In 1991, the industry adopted MOCVD epitaxial growth of quaternary materials and developed high brightness light-emitting diodes; In 1994, the first blue LED was developed on a GaN substrate; In 1997, the first white LED was produced by exciting phosphors with blue light; In 2001, white LED was made by using ultraviolet light to excite fluorescent powder.

 

 

 

1The global industrial landscape presents a monopolistic situation, mainly concentrated in Japan and Taiwan.

 

 

 

The semiconductor lighting industry has formed a tripartite distribution and competitive pattern dominated by Asia, the United States, and Europe. The global LED industry is mainly distributed in Japan and Taiwan, with Japan accounting for nearly 50% of the global LED output value; Taiwan (including factories in Taiwan and mainland China) ranks second in terms of LED output value, accounting for 21% of global LED output value.

 

 

 

2International large factories lead the development of industries and utilize technological advantages to occupy the production of high value-added products.

 

 

 

Enterprises in the two major regions of Japan and the United States utilize their innovative advantages in the field of new products and technologies, mainly engaged in the production of the highest value-added products. Among them, Japan almost monopolizes the global high-end blue and green LED market, making it the second largest production area in global packaging production and the largest output value.

 

 

 

3Industrial investment continues to increase, and the pace of cooperation between internationally renowned manufacturers is accelerating to occupy a favorable market position.

 

 

 

4China has become an important packaging base, and domestic and foreign enterprises are investing to seize the huge domestic market.
