Perfecto LED Manufacturers

MyLED has been with several international and domestic companies signed an agreement to work together and promote business growth SSL LED manufacturing capacity.

Malaysia MyLED Group is a solid-state lighting (SSL) manufacturer, the Group’s subsidiaries have been MyLED optical technology in the production of LED lighting products, and plans to begin production in January 2012 LED components. The company’s CEO Jetson Lai said: ‘According to our production roadmap to 2014, we will be able to produce 1.5 million a month LED components. Company has plans to invest $ 550,000 to expand the factory to meet the growing demand for LED lighting. ‘

MyLED with six, including from Germany, Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) signed a memorandum of the three manufacturers, including Amprex International Pte Ltd (Japan), Light-Trend Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan) and OSRAM Opto semiconductors (Germany) will also be developed to MyLED provide technology and expertise.

MyLED is also Malaysia’s first LED and SSL products manufacturing company, Jetson Lai think that ‘the price dropped by 50%, also have the ability to make business with manufacturers in China and around the world compete at the same time, because all the chips purchased from Osram Therefore, to provide LED lighting products will also have German quality, can be guaranteed for five years. ‘

MyLED also signed Taiwan, Malaysia, eight distributors and sales agents of the memorandum. Based on these different protocols, MyLED expects its cumulative sales of lighting components in the next five years will be more than 6.32 million U.S. dollars.

MyLED in Sri Lanka has invested in a joint venture company plans to begin production the first quarter of 2012, set up in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the initial SSL output will reach 30,000 units per month, is expected to reach 2014 per month 100 000.

Malaysia plans on or before January 2014 to stop all production, import and sale of incandescent light bulbs, LED lighting penetration rate in Malaysia is currently less than 5%, Malaysia will provide a ready-made MyLED untapped domestic market.

With energy-saving trend higher, probably the most talked about products to the number of LED (light emitting diode) bulbs. In the survey, the “earthquake more attention in the selection of merchandise areas,” the inquiry, the answer is the largest number of “fluorescent lamp” of 38.1%. In the three years to purchase 77.5% of consumers said “concerned about environmental protection.”

Toshiba company is ranked first prize. Number of people buying the same top. However, evaluation of environmental performance of the individual, the situation is slightly different. 10 projects, 9 projects Panasonic ranked first in the next want to buy companies, ranking higher than the Toshiba, Panasonic.

Although the survey alone is difficult to draw conclusions, but according to common sense reasoning, Toshiba’s evaluation of environmental goods to be the reason why, is not that the environmental performance, but from its use of LED light bulbs contribute to environmental attitude, For example, in 2009 launched the first practical large-scale enterprises in the level of the LED light bulbs, incandescent bulbs in 2010 first cut-off and so on.

LED will completely replace incandescent

LED bulbs come in only two and a half years, prices fell sharply, has entered the popular stage. However, Toshiba Lighting Technology Light Division, Ministry of goods act goods LED head Yuji Takenaka said: “The brightness of the newly unified method token lumens, the company’s specifications have been able to compare with each other, but the market is not mature.”

Company’s sales approach has undergone tremendous change. Initial emphasis on energy saving, long life are well known. This summer, many consumers who buy energy-saving LED light bulbs is one of evidence.

Today, the company is working to expand the product line. To compensate directive, on the back of the LED bulbs are more dim shortcomings to light with a wider range of high light-based products are gradually come out.

Panasonic has put in a special small tilt chandelier installed krypton bulbs, Toshiba will launch in November bulb color, and brightness and 60W incandescent bulb with 810 lumens of LED light bulbs. Replace incandescent bulbs in order to obtain the demand, companies are racing to develop.

Panasonic Appliance Wellness Division marketing manager of the original goods Zhaoyi Lang said: “I hope to lift (line) ‘missing teeth’ of the state.”

In the future, the eye of the typhoon is expected to become the market probably will 爱丽思欧雅玛 and other low-priced goods. The company’s environmental performance evaluation, though not outstanding, but the number of people buying highest in the first three, the next time also want to buy the company discharged the first four. This probably shows that consumers are dissatisfied with the price of LED bulbs is still big.

A, LED status of the North American standard

LED lights as a new product, now the current North American product safety standards do not specifically address the technical requirements of such products, LED products, the industry as a test subject. U.S. UL Laboratory for the current industry conditions, is organizing the preparation of LED light safety certification standards UL8750, this standard is still a draft, not being formally adopted as the certification standard. Thus, LED energy saving lamp certification test questions, not being completely resolved.

The basic principle of energy-saving LED lights by switching power supply module to the AC power into DC to power the light emitting diode. According to the basic principles of energy-saving LED lights and structural features, MET Laboratories, the U.S. proposed a transitional stage of the testing program: the use of traditional energy-saving lamps U.S. certification standards UL1993 (corresponding to the Canadian Standards CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 0, CAN / CSA-C22.2 No. 74), and power modules standard UL 1310 or UL 1012 (corresponding to the Canadian Standards CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.107) of the LED lamps for testing and certification.

Second, the detection techniques

Following on the basis of UL1993, UL 1310 and UL 1012 standards, certification testing of LED energy saving lamps in the key issues, do some elaboration.

1 Materials

LED lamps can be made into various shapes, with fluorescent tube LED energy-saving lamps, for example, its shape, as with ordinary fluorescent tubes, fluorescent tube transparent polymer shell by the power module and the light-emitting diode package inside. Transparent polymer shell fire and play in the product’s features electric shock. According to standards, energy-saving lamp shell material is required to achieve V-1 grade or more, so transparent polymer shell to be used more than V-1 grade material. Point to note is that the product enclosure to achieve the required level of V-1, its thickness must be greater than or equal to V-1 grade of raw materials to the required thickness, fire rating and thickness of the raw materials required in UL yellow card check to. Found in the actual testing, the manufacturer in order to ensure the brightness of LED lights, often very thin transparent polymer shell, which requires attention to ensure that materials testing engineers reached the required fire rating thickness. Since different materials have the same fire rating requirements of different thickness, some raw materials in smaller thickness to meet the higher fire rating requirements, recommended that manufacturers can choose the right materials to do the product casing.

(2) drop test

According to product standards, to simulate the actual use of the product may occur during the fall drop test case for the product fell from the height of 0.91 meters hardwood board, the product can not be broken shell as well as the risk of exposing the internal live parts. Product manufacturers choose to do shell material, the need to consider the strength requirements.

3 electric strength

Surrounded by a transparent shell in the power module inside the transparent casing material must meet dielectric strength requirements. According to standards, based on the conditions of the North American voltage of 120 volts, the internal high-voltage live parts and case (covered with foil test), to be able to withstand 1240 volts AC electric strength test. Under normal circumstances, the product shell thickness of about 0.8 mm, which can meet the electric strength test requirements.

4 power supply modules

LED power supply module is an important part of energy-saving lamp, power supply module of the use of switching power supply technology. Press the power module types, consider using different criteria for testing and certification. If the power supply module is a class II, which can be used to test UL1310 certification. class II power supply is the use of isolation transformer, the output voltage is less than 60 volts DC current is less than 150/Vmax amp power supply. The power of non-class II, is used to test UL1012 certification. The technical requirements of these two standards are very similar, can cross-reference. Most of the internal power supply LED light module is associated with non-isolated power supply, power supply output DC voltage greater than 60 volts, it does not apply UL1310 standards, and applicable to UL1012.

5 insulation requirements

Because LED lamps inside the limited space, the structural design, to pay attention to hazardous live parts and accessible metal parts between the insulation requirements. Insulation can be a distance and creepage distances, it can be insulating film. According to standards, hazardous live parts and accessible metal parts to distance between 3.2 mm and creepage distances to reach 6.4 mm. If the distance is not enough, you can add insulation film as an additional insulation, the insulation thickness is greater than 0.71 mm, if the thickness is less than 0.71 mm, the product will have to be bearing 5000V high voltage testing.

6 temperature test

Temperature rise test is a product safety testing must be done, standards for the different components have a certain temperature limit. In the product design stage, the manufacturer must pay great attention to the heat dissipation problem, especially for some parts (such as the insulation film, etc.) should pay particular attention.

Components if long-term work in high temperature conditions, easily damaged, resulting in fire or electric shock. Inside the lamp power supply module in a closed confined space, heat dissipation is restricted. Therefore, manufacturers component selection, we should pay attention to select the appropriate components of the specification, to ensure that components in a certain margin to work, thus avoiding long-term components under conditions of near full load of work arising from overheating.

7 Structure

LED lamps installed in the power module inside the housing, space is limited, and some manufacturers in order to save space, the surface of the pin-like components soldered on the PCB, this is unacceptable. The surface of the welded pin-type components are likely to fall off because Weld and other reasons, causing danger. So take these components as much as possible welding jack. If forced to take the surface of the welding, will have to glue these pieces plus a fixed component used to provide additional means of protection.

8 fault test

Failure of the product certification testing is critical to test a test project. This test project is on the line short or open some of the components, to simulate the actual process failures that may occur, in order to assess the product in a single fault conditions of security. In order to meet the safety requirements of the product design, consider the product plus the appropriate input fuse to prevent short circuits or internal components, output overcurrent faults resulting fire hazard.

Museum of the Louvre glass pyramid of France and other facilities from December 6 th will use energy-saving LED lights for location lighting. This measure is expected to make the Louvre exterior lighting electricity consumption by 70% or more.
According to French media recently reported that the Louvre location of existing xenon lighting system life is nearing completion, LED lighting system, the first phase of the renovation project has been completed, the Louvre, Napoleon court and square in the atrium of the transformation of the lighting system in the next two years.
According to the construction of CLC, modified lighting system, lighting, location of the Louvre from the annual electricity consumption fell to 105 000 392 000 degrees degrees, a reduction of 73%.
Louvre was built in the 12th century, initially as a defensive castle. 14th century, King Charles V began the Louvre as a residence. After several generations after the expansion and improvement of the King, the Louvre became the representative of the French classical style building. 1793 Louvre officially open to the public as a museum, art collection is now nearly 40 million.

Engaged in the manufacture of lighting design and LED lighting with the Finnish company Greenlux the largest lighting company Fagerhult Nordic reached a supply agreement. Greenlux Fagerhult will provide for general illumination of the LED lamps, and to Fagerhult’s brands.
Greenlux Initial applications include parking lot lighting, storage and refrigeration equipment. These applications are Fagerhult’s own LED products can not be met.
Greenlux GLG has delivered more than 10,000 series of lamps for parking lots and industrial sites, such as storage, maintenance and logistics room. Greenlux said it would maintain its parking lot in Sweden’s leading position in the field of LED lighting.

Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi’s integrated LCD panels for small and medium business, is considered to be Japan’s panel industry to seek economies of scale to enhance the global competitiveness of the important strategy will be followed by a global panel industry in the new flat-panel display technology (OLED) field The new round of industrial technology race, China affected by the short panel business is limited, but the ripple effect is still not small.

Integration of small and medium sized enterprises on the LCD panel business

There had been news that the three major Japanese electronics giant Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi will integrate the three companies of small and medium sized display business. Today, the news was finally settled.

November 15, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi’s small and medium-size panel responsible for the cause of three subsidiaries: Sony MobileD isplay, T oshibaM obileD isplay and H itachiD isplays formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly set up a new Japanese display company (O utlineof JapanD isplay), by the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (Innovation N et-w ork C orporationof Japan, hereinafter referred to as IN CJ) is responsible for operations, products covering mobile phones, tablet PCs and other small panel.

The new Japanese display company will begin operations in early 2012 and headquartered in Tokyo, assets of 230 billion yen (equivalent to 18.95 billion yuan), which IN CJ accounted for 70% stake in Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi each 10 %.

Hitachi, Sony and Toshiba’s display business set up in 2002, 1997 and 2002, similar to the three basic revenue, as of the last fiscal year (March 31, 2011 deadline) Toshiba on sales of 209.6 billion Yuan, Hitachi and Sony were 150.8 billion yen and 141.2 billion yen.

After the founding of the new company, expected to account for global market share of 21.5%, surpassing Sharp and Samsung, to become the world’s first production of small and medium LCD panels and strong companies.

In addition, there were reports that the Japanese company is also prepared to monitor about 200 billion yen ($ 255.5 million) to buy Panasonic at a factory in Chiba, Japan.

It is understood that Panasonic is located in Chiba, Japan this plant was originally designed to give a larger LCD panel TV production, purchase the plant has clearly contributed to the Japanese companies to increase production and monitor the investment cost savings, and this acquisition may be completed in April next year.

Integrated behind the promoter of the Japanese Government

Industry that, Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony integrate the three companies is mainly used for smart phones and tablet computers and other products of small and medium sized liquid crystal display panel business is to deal with South Korea and China Taiwan panel companies and other competitors in the field of competition.

In the past, display technology has been dominated by Japanese companies, but in recent years, South Korea and China Taiwan’s flat panel industry’s rise to the great pressure on Japanese companies, especially their low-cost panel to occupy a lot of the market. In the financial crisis under the impact of industry “Baotuan winter,” Japanese companies are becoming a major mutual rescue means.

However, the Japanese companies pushing into the back are more likely to push the Japanese government. On the surface, the three companies small and medium sized LCD business integration may be just an ordinary merger with eucalyptus, but if you take into account Japan’s unique background of the display, you can peep out from the Japanese government’s true intentions.

It is understood that the sole lead and inject Japanese display company IN CJ has a semi-official colors, is a Japanese officials and the public jointly funded by the Japanese government-led investment fund, established in July 2009, is responsible for the next generation of business provided by the financial, technical and management support, IN CJ investment assets of 900 billion yen, as of now, IN CJ has invested in 19 projects, 325 billion yen, investment coverage of green energy, electronics, IT and biotechnology fields.

The IN CJ was willing to funded support, is to combine the three companies of the technology, re-challenge South Korea and China Taiwan manufacturers in the LCD panel market comeback. In view of the market share of Japanese companies continue to be squeezed, and the three companies alone can not compete with foreign counterparts, the merger seems to be a necessity.

Moreover, in the large-size LCD panel facing overcapacity in the context of smart phones and tablet PCs for small and medium-size panels, but because Apple changed the global industrial chain, to find the explosive market potential. Not just in Japan, including Korea, China Taiwan and even mainland China’s new Industrial who are starting to focus on small and medium-size screen R & D and manufacturing, especially for the next generation of OLED display technology investing aggressively.

Thus, Paller Luo Qingqi, senior director of consulting firm that “behind the three companies merged to reflect their hopes of a quick integration, give full play to their display area in the future lead, to achieve rapid strategic purpose beyond the Korean companies.”

Luo Qingqi, this is a new round of industrial capital and technology competition, Japan is trying to cut into the field of small and medium-size LCD panel, re-seeking a stronger industry position.

Integration generates additive effect of converting

Three Japanese electronics companies for small and medium-size panel business integration, Shanghai Electronics Chamber of Commerce Deputy Secretary-General Raymond Chu told reporters that the current global LCD industry has become increasingly mature, large-size panels, as in previous years no longer needs to maintain triple-digit annual growth. The intelligent terminals such as smart phones and tablet PCs as growth in demand for products such as flat panel industry to develop a significant driving force, the Japanese panel, inter-enterprise integration, to give up its large-size panel at a disadvantage, and efforts to transform small and medium-size panels, relying on its technology in the world, especially small and medium-size high-resolution panel’s technical superiority, the birth of the world’s largest supplier of small and medium-size LCD panel, which will also bring South Korea and China Taiwan panel provide a competitive pressures.

While Raymond Chu’s view, the rapid development of small and medium-size panel industry in Mainland China, although the short term have little effect, because small and medium-size panel industry, although the mainland production scale is not small, but the target market is mainly small-size panels Phone , portable navigation devices, portable media players and size of panels used in portable DVD players and other low-end market. But in the long view, not only hinder the mainland to the high-end small and medium-size panel industry development, also will start in the OLED panel industry has brought new challenges.

Topology Research Institute researcher Lin Lin said in an interview with reporters, Japanese companies the main purpose is to expand the scale of integration, so that in the high-end market, with South Korean companies to compete against, while a more rational layout IPS, LTPS , A MO LED and other new technologies. But for China, the ripple effect is still not small, Japanese companies will accelerate the integration of small and medium-size LCD panel, development of new technologies inevitably bring technology and products to accelerate change, and this time China’s Tianma and BOE has only just begun planning products line, even if the plant put into operation next year have to wait until the year after, there may once again fall into the production that is behind the dilemma.

However, SE M IC hina optoelectronics and flat lighting, but analysts say market analysts Qifa Xin, from a technical point of view, the three companies in the high-end panel technology strengths. It is reported that before the good Hitachi flat conversion (LPS) technology, Toshiba is good at low-temperature polysilicon (LT PS) technology, and Sony Mobile Display good organic excitation display (O LE D). Thus, the integration will be quite difficult, this is a new joint venture company set up after the adjustment must be faced.

Mergers and acquisitions in Japan also showed a different awful sound. University of Tokyo, Associate Professor Takeuchi health that such integration may be difficult to appear superimposed effect. Takeuchi Jian wrote, co-operation and integration between enterprises is a double edged sword, not many companies together is like, nor is it increased sales by merging is needed. In his view, the integration between enterprises, the sales would not necessarily increase, sometimes 1 + 1 equal to 1. This is because, in the semiconductor and LCD panel and other components business, as the customer’s machine manufacturers and PC makers will avoid sourcing from only one company.

It is understood that South Korea is the world’s most active areas of the development of OLED, Samsung mobile display has expanded each year in addition to investment in AMOLED panel outside, LGD is also the official launch AMOLED panel from this year investment plan, in this context that in 2011 South Korea’s capital will be 5.9 OLED trillion won (about $ 5.2 billion) scale, and more to the point of view 2012 8 trillion won (about $ 7.2 billion).

South Korea’s OLED capital expenditure of about 70% for investment in equipment, in order to reduce the extent rely on foreign equipment factory, South Korea, the use of its semiconductor factory equipment, LCD field accumulated technological capabilities, and actively branched out into the field of AMOLED. AMOLED manufacturing process according to another point of view, South Korea in the TFT array, organic matter deposition, encapsulation, Cell, and other process equipment are able to supply a Korean plant.

Korean-made equipment to enhance the AMOLED technology, SMD and LGD not only continued with the South Korean equipment manufacturers to develop, also funded through other means to strengthen cooperation between each other, such as SMD to invest in Korea has developed a plant SNUPrecision conducive to the development of large-size AMOLED panels vertical deposition equipment, and film encapsulated devices.

Becoming active with the Korean SMD purchase AMOLED plant equipment, the 5.5-generation line (1300 × 1500mm) Equipment self-sufficiency rate (the amount to purchase basis) has increased to 60%, not only that, LGD constructed in the 8th generation line (2200 × 2500mm ) are also self-sufficiency rate will be 50% of the target device, because the Korean government to accelerate its AMOLED device toward self-sufficiency rate 80% ahead, the new AMOLED production line back in Korea relies on overseas Equipment Factory of the more significant reduction.

Europe’s biggest consumer electronics maker Philips Electronics (Royal Philips Electronics NV) in 17 European stock markets released before the opening the third quarter of 2011 (July to September) earnings: revenue was reduced by 1% to 5.394 billion euros, which contains 6% of the exchange loss; pre-tax earnings before interest and share in advance (EBITA) was reduced 43.1% to 3.68 billion euros; net profit of 76 million euros, 524 million euros last year greatly reduced 85%. According to Thomson Reuters survey, analysts had expected Philips Q3 revenue, net income of 5.341 billion euros each, 5,380 million euros.

Philips also announced that the company plans to cut 4,500 employees worldwide, of which 1,400 will be employees of the Dutch office, which is 800 million euros which is part of the cost cut plans. Philips pointed out that the cost will be cut 60% of the target to achieve through the layoffs, the remaining 40% will be with the structural cost.

Philips LED sales in the third quarter increased 32%; lighting sector revenue was reduced by 1% to 1.886 billion euros, the industry EBITA of 110 million euros, worse than the same period last year 216 million euros. Philips had previously forecast 2011-15 the global lighting market (potential size of 800 million euros) average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 5-7%. Regionally, the third quarter 2011 revenue of Philips in the Western European market by 5% to 1.48 billion euros; North America revenue was reduced by 6% to 1.653 billion euros.

Philips Group in 2013 and reiterated medium-term objectives: revenue growth of 4-6%; EBITA growth of 10-12%; return on invested capital (ROIC) growth of 12-14%.

Light-emitting diode (LED) upstream grain manufacturing giant Cree Inc. Has issued a press release announced that the history of mainland China only recently completed the largest highway street upgrade program, which has over 10,000 street lights use more than one million Cree’s XLamp ( R) XP-G, XP-E high-efficiency white LED. The Shenzhen Expressway project covering nearly 75 miles of road, for a tunnel, four highway installation of LED lighting.

Kingsun (Kingsun Optoelectronic Co. Ltd.) Selected Cree XLamp LED-based sub-continent leader. According to the contract used by the ground on photovoltaic energy management (Energy Management Contract, referred to as EMC) mode of operation, the Shenzhen Expressway project cost can be recovered in four years.

Cree 14 day up 1.05%, to close at $ 29.73, over the past nine trading days since the eight day of gains, and since September 21 record closing high.

Yonhap News had on September 30 report, citing unnamed sources, China plans to this (2011) introduced the fourth quarter for the local LED manufacturers’ subsidies to encourage energy saving mainland residents. According to the report, the mainland authorities are currently working with local LED manufacturers to proceed with the subsidy issue, which is expected to promote the gradual growth of semiconductor lighting application markets.

According to the mainland planning blueprint for the development ,2011-2015, mainland China will phase out incandescent bulbs and LED bulbs to replace, expected to generate annual savings of 48 billion kilowatts hours of electricity. Part of the market research agency expected the mainland in the global LED market share in the first quarter of 2012 reached 32%, surpassing South Korea and Taiwan. The mainland is the world’s fourth-largest LED manufacturer in the market share of 13%.

Continental Development and Reform Commission released in August was “out of incandescent Roadmap (draft).” According to the draft, in 2016, the mainland will completely phase out the use of ordinary incandescent lighting. The draft proposed that since October 1, 2012, the ban on the sale and import of 100 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; from October 1, 2014, the ban on the sale and import of 60 watts and above normal lighting incandescent; based energy efficiency standards, prohibit the production, sale and import of luminous efficiency is lower than the limit value of energy efficiency inefficient halogen.

In addition, since October 1, 2016, the ban on the sale and import of 15-watt incandescent lamp for general lighting and more. Among them, the reflection-type incandescent lamps, spotlights, decorative lights, incandescent and other types of special purpose incandescent lamps are not out of range.

Recently, the city of Welland, Ontario, Canada City Council voted unanimously a resolution to adopt the company’s LED lamps replace the Appalachian city of the 4300 and 2410 decorative street lamps.

City Council has approved AppalachianLightingSystems (ALSI)’s SSL Energy Solutions, will be equipped with ALLink using ALSI ALLED lighting control system to replace existing street lighting system. City Council also approved the bond financing will be provided through a $ 2.74 million funding. LED street reconstruction project is expected to decrease $ 221,553 in annual energy costs and $ 159,250 street lights maintenance costs.

The first phase of the project including the 4300 cobra head high pressure sodium (HPS) lamp replacement, as follows:

30WLED lights replace 661 sets of 100W high pressure sodium lamps, 135W high pressure sodium lamps 1574 units; 50WLED table lamps replace 190W high pressure sodium lamps 1063; 77WLED lights replace 983 sets of 285W high pressure sodium lamps; 120WLED replace 485W high pressure sodium street lights.

Appalachian’s SSL lamps ALLED with ALLink monitoring and control systems and software, computer or handheld device can be used for remote monitoring and control. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by April 2012. The second phase will be 2410 decorative lighting replacement.

Welland City estimates that the city is currently installing high-pressure sodium street lighting system 15-year operating costs estimated at $ 18,000,000, while the system is expected to use LED lights will save a total of $ 6.8 million in operating costs. After the transformation of the payment of all costs, including debt, the city from 15 years to benefit the long-term agreement, net $ 2,380,000.

In addition, the city’s reconstruction project will also make a significant contribution to environmental protection. The city’s annual carbon emissions by 2.1 million kilograms of carbon dioxide was reduced to 541,000 kg of carbon dioxide.

When the entire project completed in December 2012, the Welland City that it will be North America’s first city to complete the overall transformation of the city of LED lights.
