Semiconductor lighting (LED lighting), is developed in 90′s of last century a new generation of cold light source with incomparable advantages of traditional light sources: energy saving, environmental protection (no mercury and other harmful substances), long life (50,000 hours) and reduce maintenance costs, provide better lighting quality, improve lighting efficacy and safety of visual, these are so many basic LED technology in the construction of more and more applications get. Modern human civilization’s energy crisis warns us: energy saving imperative, resource development and utilization of the need for sustainable development. Since 2003, most of the country suffered a new round of power shortages. Power shortage for the power development, but also led us to alternative energy and new energy in China. China is mainly from thermal energy, and thermal power generation using oil and coal, due to skyrocketing oil prices result in increased cost of power generation, while coal will produce large amounts of carbon dioxide greenhouse. To address the energy issue, China’s main set in both directions: the development of new energy and energy-saving target to the 2010-2012 alternative energy will provide 15% -30% of its energy needs, and our lighting energy consumed in the total electricity consumption of 1 / 6, such as domestic 1 / 3 LED instead of incandescent lamps is a year that the country could save an annual power generation of Three Gorges Project. The development of LED lighting in line with our industrial development strategy, China attaches great importance to the development of the semiconductor industry, unveiled a series of policies to promote development of related industries: in June 2003, the Joint Science and Technology Ministry of Information Industry, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Construction, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Light Industry Federation and other units coordinated the establishment of National Semiconductor Lighting Project Leading Group, National Semiconductor Lighting Project for emergency starts. In early 2006, the State Council promulgated the “Medium and Long Term Science and Technology Development Plan”, “energy efficient, long life semiconductor lighting products” to be included in the first long-term planning focus areas (energy) of the first priority theme (industrial energy efficiency ), attracted wide attention at home and abroad. July 2006, the Ministry of Construction announced the “” Eleventh Five-Year “Plan Town Green Lighting Project,” in the clear that to achieve the per unit GDP energy consumption reduction target of 20%, stressed the need to implement resource conservation and environmental protection requirements building low-input, high output, low power consumption, less emissions, can cycle, sustainable national economic system and resource-saving, environment-friendly society, and to the “green light – in public facilities, hotels, shopping centers, office buildings and in the promotion of efficient energy-saving residential lighting systems, “as one of ten key projects energy. October 2006, the National “Eleventh Five-Year” Plan 863 “Semiconductor Lighting Project” was officially launched major projects. In 2007 led by the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Information Industry, State Administration of Taxation and other ministries to begin drafting “further encourage the software industry and IC industry development in a number of policy”, that is of common concern by the industry, “Semiconductor New Deal. “drafted in the semiconductor industry to support the new policy include the” five year exemption and five half “of the enterprise income tax preferential policies, research and development tax (to take credit and tax cuts and use the way), and semiconductor capital equipment duty-free and fixed on the integrated circuit design arrangements for special financial support and so on. In April 2007 for supporting the development of LED and solar PV industry growth, Fujian Province promulgated the “Fujian Province to promote the development of LED and solar photovoltaic industry views the implementation (2007-2010)” is China’s first such policy issued provinces, Fujian Province have also launched LED and photovoltaic electronic test platform, LED and photovoltaic applications design platform and many other LED and photovoltaic industries of public technical service platform construction.
July 2007, the State Council issued “on the establishment of government energy-saving products procurement system of compulsory notification” (Guo Ban Fa [2007] 51), made clear that government agencies at all levels of financial funds for government procurement in technology, service and other indicators to meet the procurement needs of the premise, to give priority to purchasing energy efficient products, some energy savings, performance and other products that meet the requirements, the implementation of compulsory purchase. August 2007, explicitly required the Ministry of Construction, the city shall not use a wide range of main roads in urban areas and more garden lighting decorative lighting, landscape lighting is prohibited to use powerful searchlights, high power floodlights, massive neon, color bubble, the U.S. anti- high brightness high energy light lamps. September 10, 2007, the Ministry of Construction announced “the” Eleventh Five-Year “Plan Town Green Lighting Project”, under the “planning” in the next five years, China will vigorously promote the city green light to the end of 2005 as the base, the Town Lighting Festival electricity target of 5%, by 2010, city lighting energy efficient lighting application rate will reach 85%. November 2007, the provisions of the State Council issued a document from 2008 onwards, the local provincial officials in China will begin to hand over to the central energy-saving responses, if transcripts will face accountability and not pass the “one vote veto.” November 26, 2007, Deputy Minister of Finance Zhang Shaochun, 26, held in the national financial work conference on energy conservation, said the central government arranged 23.5 billion yuan that year to support energy conservation. November 29, 2007, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on the 28th China-EU Business Summit in a keynote speech, said the next five years, China’s investment in energy-saving environmental protection will reach 300 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 30% of the world market. January 10, 2008, the Ministry of Finance, National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the “financial subsidies to promote efficient lighting products Interim Measures on Management of funds” (wealth building [2007] 1027). National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance will be issued by approved financial subsidies to promote efficient task lighting products, the provincial energy department in conjunction with the financial sector to develop specific implementation plan, organize successful enterprises in promoting missions, ensure the realization of the “Eleventh Five-Year” period through fiscal subsidies, to promote efficient lighting products 150 000 000, may be saving 29 billion kwh, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 29 million tons. April 2008, the Ministry of Finance, National Development and Reform Commission held a national conference to promote efficient lighting products, the state financial subsidies to the official launch energy-saving lamps. Almost a year, several major cities in China office lighting places the smooth progress of the program to promote energy-saving lamps, LED lighting in urban and rural household is steadily in progress. October 2008, China launched the “Energy Conservation Ordinance, public institutions,” all levels of government units shall be energy efficient products and equipment incorporated in the centralized procurement catalog, and strictly monitor the status of energy consumption. Also published “Energy conservation regulations” require the construction unit shall select the appropriate renewable energy for heating, cooling, lighting and hot water supply. Because of these two regulations to implement and provide local government procurement LED energy-saving products and other related legal basis at all levels of government units in 2009 will gradually implement energy conservation policies, and a large number of procurement-related energy-saving products, is expected to Shanghai in 2010 World Expo should continue after the Olympics, setting off another wave of LED peak demand. November 5, 2008 the State Council executive meeting to determine the current ten further measures to promote economic growth and financial strength to pry 4 trillion of domestic demand. Huge infrastructure projects to the LED lighting companies have aimed at the development of this rare opportunity. November 25, 2008, the Ministry of Transport Planning, Li Xinghua, deputy director of the Ministry of Transport in the regular press conference that the Ministry of Transport 2009, the transport infrastructure investment will strive to reach 1 trillion. Direction of investment include not only highway, national and provincial trunk and rural roads, will also include the coastal ports, inland waterway and transport hub port ancillary infrastructure. 1 trillion of investment in the total estimated investment in the expressway will reach 400 000 000 000 -5,000 billion, will reach 200 billion yuan of rural roads, investment in the Ministry of Transport, led, LED lighting enterprises are facing good opportunities for development.
