Li Xinghua, Party Secretary and Director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, delivered a speech at the 8th China International Semiconductor Lighting Exhibition and Forum. Ren Xiaoxi photo [/size] LED industry is one of the three major breakthroughs in the development of strategic emerging industries in Guangdong. In the past two years, according to the deployment and requirements of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology has focused on independent innovation, exploring new mechanisms and new models for collaborative innovation, and accelerating the promotion of core technology research and market application demonstrations. , to achieve sustained and rapid development of the LED industry. In 2010, the province's LED industry achieved a total industrial output value of 85.3 billion yuan, doubling year-on-year; it is expected that the LED industry scale will once again double this year. In practice, we deeply feel that the LED industry's independent innovation road is an open and holistic innovation, which is a collaborative innovation of close contact, coordination and cooperation among various innovation elements. [b]Developing the LED industry[/b] [b] Must rely on collaborative innovation[/b] To develop the LED industry, we are faced with two prominent problems. First, core technologies and key equipment are subject to people, and second, market promotion is more difficult. To break through these two bottlenecks as soon as possible, we need to establish the concept of collaborative innovation and form a mechanism for collaborative innovation. The so-called collaborative innovation is to focus on the goal of innovation, to achieve multi-agent, multi-factors to assist, complement each other, and cooperate with innovative behavior. This mechanism of synergy is one of the basic laws of the objective world. If there is a lack of synergy in independent innovation, and if this rule is not followed, then the level and efficiency of innovation will be greatly reduced. In the process of developing LED industry in Guangdong these years, collaborative innovation has played a key role. First of all, collaborative innovation effectively integrates scientific and technological resources to jointly capture LED core technologies and develop key equipment. From the perspective of the laws governing the development of science and technology in the world, the main body of innovation in technology is becoming more diverse, leading to the distribution of innovation resources among different innovation entities. To complete a technological innovation and application of results, it often requires the cooperation of multi-agency, multi-sector, multi-enterprise and so on. LED is a frontier technology field with multidisciplinary intersections, involving lighting, mechanical equipment, electronic information and other industries. To achieve breakthroughs in the core technologies of the LED industry, we need cooperation and interaction between enterprises, universities, research institutes, government departments, and science and technology service organizations to achieve our goals. In order to break through the core technology of LED, we have built a successful model of the semiconductor lighting industry in Guangdong Province by drawing on the successful model of “Improving top-notch enterprises with high-end results”, and attracting innovative resources of the LED industry with an open organizational structure. System integration of advantageous resources. This collaborative and innovative approach to open cooperation has greatly accelerated the pace of independent innovation in the LED industry. For example, the domestic MOCVD industrialization project has made a major breakthrough, and the first prototype has entered the production commissioning phase and is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of the year. The solid micro-area laser stripping equipment, the new multi-chip HVPE equipment, metal-based vertical structure high-power LED chip and other core technologies have made progress in stages, and it is expected to fill the gap in the high-end link of the LED industry. Secondly, collaborative innovation has led to multi-party linkage, joint implementation of LED product demonstration projects, and rapid expansion of market size. The success or failure of independent innovation depends not only on the development of new technologies and new products, but also on whether these new technologies and new products can be used in large-scale markets. As an emerging green lighting technology, the LED industry still has problems such as high product prices, low recognition, and large resistance to the original interest chain. If these problems are not solved, the LED industry will not be able to form a sustainable innovation and development mechanism. To solve these problems, the power of LED companies or individual government departments alone is not enough. To this end, Guangdong actively promoted the establishment of a joint conference system in the province. The Provincial Science and Technology Department and the Provincial Construction Department, China Southern Power Grid, Quality Supervision Bureau, and Intellectual Property Office communicated and coordinated to jointly develop the acceptance criteria for highway LED tunnel lighting projects. LED product quality standard system construction, LED patent situation analysis and other work, forming a departmental linkage, complementary advantages, and a concerted work pattern, with the "big chorus" played the main theme of the development of the LED industry. [b]Highly focused and efficient [/b] [b]Promoting collaborative innovation in the LED industry[/b] According to the development of collaborative innovation, Guangdong has focused on LED core technology research and marketing applications, highlighting key points, and innovating models. Significant results. The first is to formulate and implement an industrial technology roadmap and scientifically plan a collaborative innovation path. To improve the technological innovation capability and level of the LED industry, it is necessary to promote the synergy between the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and integrate the innovation chain into the industrial chain to avoid the phenomenon that technology and industry are out of touch. This depends on the scientific planning and guidance of the industrial technology roadmap. In the past two years, we have organized experts from universities, research institutes, LED companies and industry associations to brainstorm and systematically plan and draw a technical roadmap for the LED industry in Guangdong Province, so that the government and industry can more clearly grasp the mainstream products of the LED industry. Industry goals and core technology research and development directions provide a guide to action for industrial development. Based on the industrial technology roadmap, LED companies have jointly developed key research projects with joint research institutes and universities, making technological innovation more targeted and efficient. The total number of patent applications in the LED field of the province reached 9,121, and the number of patents granted by LED was 1,270, ranking both first in the country. Among them, the number of patent applications in the field of LED chip preparation technology in the province reached 1,693, maintaining a growth rate of more than 30% for three consecutive years, leading the industry to gradually extend to high-end links. The second is to promote close cooperation between industry, academia and research, and integrate superior resources to jointly tackle problems. More than 10 universities and research institutes across the country and more than 20 LED backbone enterprises in Guangdong jointly initiated the establishment of the Guangdong Provincial Semiconductor Lighting Industry, Industry, Research and Innovation Alliance, and jointly built a major innovation platform for the LED lighting industry to jointly overcome the common technology of industry development and promote The scientific and technological achievements of universities and research institutes across the country have been transformed and industrialized in Guangdong. In August of this year, the Science and Technology Department of Guangdong Province took the lead in organizing 21 scientific research institutions and leading enterprises to jointly establish the “Guangdong Province Semiconductor Industry Lighting Industry Joint Innovation Center”. With the joint innovation center as the link, the upstream chain or technology-complementary enterprises, related universities and scientific research institutions in the industry chain will be formed into alliances, and a number of LED core technologies will be jointly tackled. For example, the patented sapphire substrate laser stripping technology developed by Nanhai Xurui Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. can greatly reduce the cost of high-power LED chips. Guangzhou Jingke Co., Ltd. is the first high-power flip-chip LED integrated chip based on silicon VLSI technology. The technical route is to reduce the cost of light sources by 30%-50% for downstream enterprises. The third is to establish a departmental joint and provincial and municipal linkage mechanism to implement the demonstration project for promotion and application. In 2009, the Guangdong Provincial Government established the provincial LED lighting technology and product promotion consisting of the Provincial Science and Technology Department, the Development and Reform Commission, the Economic and Information Committee, the Finance Department, the Construction Department, the Southern Power Grid, the Quality Supervision Bureau, the Intellectual Property Office, and the Financial Office. The application of the joint conference system is responsible for coordinating, coordinating and promoting the development of the LED lighting industry, and specifically guiding the local promotion and application of LED lighting products. Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Heyuan, Zhaoqing and other cities have taken active actions to jointly organize special forums and undertake major scientific and technological projects, and have cooperated with the provincial science and technology department and other departments to establish a provincial and municipal linkage mechanism. Under the framework of departmental joint and provincial and municipal linkages, Guangdong has successively organized and implemented the “Thousand Miles of 100,000” high-power LED street lamp industrialization demonstration and promotion project and the green lighting demonstration city special action. This year, the LED lighting demonstration project for new expressways such as Guang (Zhou) Le (Chang) and Bo (Luo) Shen (Shenzhen) was launched. As of September 2011, the province installed more than 260,000 LED street lights and more than 2,500 kilometers of demonstration roads. The scale and progress ranked first in the country. It is expected that the annual “Green Lighting Demonstration City” demonstration application scale will exceed 400,000 baht, helping the Pearl River Delta to create a world-class LED lighting application comprehensive demonstration zone. The fourth is to innovate business models and accelerate market promotion and application. On the basis of the “enterprise + user + bank” model, Guangdong explored the business model of “EMC + Supply Chain Management + Finance”, effectively synergizing the service chain, capital chain and industrial chain to ensure production, consumption and finance. Maximize the interests of the three parties and coordinately solve the problem of difficult promotion of innovative products. Recently, we have strengthened cooperation with large enterprises such as China Southern Power Grid and Guangyu Group, and actively explored new business models such as “EMC+Grid+Finance” to accelerate the promotion and application of LED lighting products. [b]Improve the promotion of LED industry[/b] [b]Collaborative innovation policy environment[/b] In recent years, Guangdong has focused on the development of LED industry, on the one hand, it has used the country to promote independent innovation and foster preferential policies for emerging industries. On the other hand, it actively introduced new policies to support the development of the LED industry. The first is to set up a special fund for the development of the LED industry. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, Guangdong Province invested 450 million yuan each year to set up a special LED industry development project, focusing on breakthroughs in core technologies, application demonstration, construction of innovation platforms and introduction of innovative talents. At the same time, give full play to the guiding role of financial funds, and attract a large amount of social capital to support the development of the LED industry. The second is to implement LED innovation product procurement and tax incentives. We will fully implement the preferential policies of the state and the province to promote independent innovation of enterprises, and focus on supporting the innovation and development of LED enterprises. In recent years, a large number of LED high-tech enterprises and independent innovation products have been identified, and the pre-tax deduction policy for enterprise R&D expenditure has been implemented. LED companies and products have been given support in government procurement and demonstration projects to further promote the province's LEDs. Product application and industrial development. The third is to introduce a high-end talent introduction policy. Focusing on the development needs of the LED industry, we will vigorously introduce first-class innovative research teams and technology leaders at home and abroad. For example, last year, a provincial-level innovative research team of wide-bandgap semiconductor research led by Academician Gan Zikai was introduced to develop LED upstream technology and equipment with independent intellectual property rights. The first professional in China was established in Dongguan Zhongjia Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. The production line of GaN substrate, and the industrialization of laser stripping equipment, and the independent research and development of new products, making Guangdong gradually become the research and development production base of semiconductor upstream materials. At the same time, the use of the "dumbbell type" international technology cooperation new model, strengthen the docking cooperation with LED international institutions, formed an international research team. The fourth is to implement the technical standards guiding policy. The Science and Technology Department of Guangdong Province organized the cooperation of universities and testing organizations to launch the benchmark evaluation system for LED street lamps in the country, and obtained the benchmark index representing the level of product innovation in the industry through “smashing the platform”, which evaluated and graded the product quality and effectively broke through. LED product standards lag behind industry bottlenecks in technology and industry development.
