All-round infiltration of LED applications into the automotive industry to create unlimited business opportunities

While the application field of LED lighting is expanding, the use of LED in the automotive industry has gradually entered the field of vision. Although its size is not as large as the market size of general lighting, it still has a large market attractiveness. The application of the automotive industry not only brings unlimited business opportunities to LED manufacturers, but also brings some bright spots to the automotive industry.

He Zaihua, a senior researcher at China Investment Advisors, pointed out that although high-brightness LED applications in the automotive industry are relatively novel, the business opportunities offered by their superior features are indeed more striking. As high-brightness LEDs have the advantages of shock and vibration resistance, thermal cycling and long life, which greatly improve the performance of automotive lighting, it will gradually emerge in the automotive industry.

Although the use of high-brightness LEDs in the automotive industry can produce powerful results, there are still many problems in the current application. Reliability and service life are the first issues to be considered, followed by efficiency issues. Once again, its response speed is in the brake lights. And the use of direction indicators also need to withstand inspection. Of course, its directionality is a key consideration because its surface light emission characteristics may not be suitable for all lighting areas inside and outside the car.

According to the "2010-2015 China Semiconductor Lighting (LED) Industry Investment Analysis and Prospect Forecast Report released by the China Investment Advisor, the use of automotive lighting LED has many complex standards, for example, regardless of the voltage is 40 volts, 60 volts, 80 V, or 100-volt LED drive circuit must meet the strict requirements of the automotive EMC specifications, for the LED driven by high-efficiency, inductive switching regulators, meet the above requirements have a certain degree of difficulty, will increase the cost.

Zhang Zhenlin, research director of China Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. pointed out that due to the limited scale of mass production of automobiles, there is far from the scale-up effect in the field of general lighting. Therefore, exploring the available range of LEDs in the automotive industry will become the next goal of LED utilization in the automotive field. The use of external functions, including lighting in the car, pedal lighting, etc., are all worthy of use. In addition, the use of entertainment in the car is also a major point of view, the use of flat panel display will further increase the LED The scale of application in the automotive field.
