Korea 

 

Investing heavily in OLED lighting industry to enhance the global competitiveness 

 

Recently, the Korean Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that it will launch an OLED lighting industry support program, called "OLED lighting industry cluster construction projects," the project will be open by the end of September 2014, five-year plan to invest the amount of 22 billion won (approximately RMB 133 million yuan). 

 

South Korea plans to the OLED industry through the downstream supply chain network, and promote industrial development and to enhance the global competitiveness of the industry. Coverage of the item includes an OLED material, a light source, the system components and modules. 

 

In order to encourage the commercialization of OLED products, the project also supports the OLED lighting technology and testing and evaluation of products, and also set the domestic and international standards, including OLED lighting product performance, safety and evaluation. 

 

In addition, the government may increase project investment of about 25%, that is, the total investment amount of up to 30 billion won (about 181 million yuan RMB), of course, this also depends on the number of participating vendors may be. 

 

Japan 

 

OLED lighting production yield was still a big problem 

 

By the Japanese chemical manufacturers and the sum of Industrial Technology Research Institute, a joint venture research institutions, "the next generation of chemical materials evaluation technology research portfolio (CEREBA)" global leader, developed the first flexible OLED lighting production technology. 

 

It is understood that the technology abandon existing glass substrate, a light emitting layer formed on a transparent change resin film, Japanese manufacturers will use the technology to achieve this fall, the amount of OLED lighting products production. 

 

Micron Technology, Inc. Innovation Minister BOE office Liu Fei said bendable OLED lighting including full bend two and a half bend, bend the whole resin is used in the form of a polymer, and is used in semi-curved thin glass substrate. "As for the realization of mass production of OLED lighting products in the polymer resin in the short term is still facing high cost, low good question." 

 

"Say this is because the resin material may be restricted by many factors, such as adjusting the packaging, light effects, etc.." Liu Fei said, "OLED lighting technology laboratory production has been achieved, and the future with improvements in materials, process improved production conditions will also be getting is not a problem. "

 

OLED lighting with the existing lighting products that are not light, thin, light and other characteristics of the whole surface, and unlike fluorescent lamps add mercury it can reduce the burden on the environment, coupled with no ultraviolet light can reduce eye irritation, it is considered following the LED lighting is the most promising next-generation lighting products. 

 

Therefore, OLED lighting giants competing to become the domestic and foreign investment in research and development focus. Which, by the Mitsubishi Chemical, Sumitomo Chemical, Asahi Kasei, FujiFilm, KonicaMinolta and other 13 companies / organizations funded the establishment of CEREBA is one of them.

It is reported that, CEREBA since its 2011 inception, has been engaged in the research and development of OLED. Use CEREBA technology produced by bendable OLED lighting products and thin, it can be applied to furniture, cars, aircraft and other objects of various shapes and purposes. 

 

About the news that in 2014 the annual formal sights for OLED lighting market, CEREBA13 home organizer of the Konica will invest about 10 billion yen to build its plant in Kofu factory plant in the region, and apply CEREBA see the world's first mass production technologies resin substrate can flexible OLED lighting panel products. 

 

The plant is scheduled to be completed this summer, autumn will produce about one million of scale begin mass production in 2020 and is expected to realize OLED lighting business revenue increased to 50 billion yen, to challenge the industry-leading position. 

 

Japan so the impact on the domestic deployment of OLED manufacturers? Liu Fei believes that "it is good for the entire industry have played a role in promoting." 

 

"From the BOE participate Guangya Exhibition feedback information, and then Japanese media reported last year on the BOE, the Japanese technology in recent years that changes little higher cost." Liu Fei further said, "And then the Japanese manufacturers display products for BOE feel shocked, it also allows us to have enough confidence. "

 

"Japan's high level of technology in this area, but also there are some shortcomings. Future who can lead, who depend on technology more sophisticated, better utilization, costs drop even lower, with a bigger market and more able to grasp the opportunity. "Liu Fei pointed out that" currently we are still in the market cultivation stage and established product lines, the future is still a long way to go. "

 

According to foreign-related institutions predict that in 2020 the global OLED lighting market forecast to grow to 300 billion yen scale. 

 

In this regard, Liu Fei also expressed his views, he believes that 2020 OLED lighting and LED lighting will be the same, are faced with the explosive growth after the patent expires, "but even OLED lighting to reach the above scale, but in the lighting is just a small part of the field, because the entire lighting industry to reach $ 300 billion, while in 2020 about whether OLED lighting to reach foreign institutions predicted, depends on the particular circumstances. "

 

Russia 

 

Effective promotion of energy-saving lamp LED lighting accounting for 2016 is expected to reach 35% 

 

Russian Federation in Chinese business representative office in Shenzhen Grew Jeff held on the 15th that "Russia and CIS countries Lighting Market Analysis and Channel Strategy Conference," said Russia hopes on the LED industry, to further enhance the Sino-Russian trade volume, and attract Chinese companies to the Russian advanced LED factories. 

 

Turkoglu Jeff said in 2013, the rapid development of LED industry in Russia, the growth rate reached 250%, LED lighting accounts for 10% of Russia's lighting industry market share. Data show that the lighting market in 2013, sales of Russian LED bulbs for 1 billion, with sales of 40 billion rubles. Russian government introduced a series of measures to promote energy-saving light sources. 2016, LED lighting lighting industry market share in Russia will increase to about 35%.

According Turkoglu Jeff introduced LED industry for more than 50 percent of Russia are imported products. "If it is a higher proportion of parts, reaching 70%." Dr. strategic emerging industries Development Institute Guangdong Province, said Li Wenyu, in 2013, Chinese exports to Russia and CIS countries totaled $ 800 million LED products, which accounted for 75.74 percent of Russia. China LED products on the Russian market accounted for more than 40%. 

 

Turkoglu Jeff said that in the LED industry, Russia's goal is the first step is to improve the total trade between China and Russia LED industry, the second step is to attract China's advanced LED enterprises to set up factories in Russia. 

 

United Kingdom 

 

Developed can "kill" superbugs lighting system was Thames Higher Education Award 

 

In the UK Glasgow Royal Infirmary ICU trial lighting system has been proven to kill superbugs, including MRSA, E. coli and C-diff (transmissible germs) "superbugs." 

 

The light emitting HINS at 405 nm, a wavelength shorter than ultraviolet light, but longer, but, unlike ultraviolet radiation, is still visible to the human eye, so that the system has a purple hue, but the combination of LED technology team , can produce a regular hospital lighting warm white lighting effects together. 

 

This is not the first time the medical team with a specific wavelength of light to control bacteria. 2000, an independent survey research by the Medical Research Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the United Kingdom and Imperial College London Hammersmith Hospital performed to determine, with blue and red wavelengths of light mixing caused by the effective light therapy to treat acne bacteria means. 

 

Tests conducted by Professor Glasgow Hospital at the University of Strathclyde Scott McGregor and his colleagues as well as experts and scholars, clinicians, infection control experts from the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and the United Kingdom Glasgow Scottish university academics cooperative research, HINS- light had been named in the 2011 annual research projects, access to higher education award Thames.
