In the past two years, the LED packaging industry "incremental increase does not increase profits" is no longer a secret, the traditional packaging business is also difficult to obtain profits from the Red Sea competition.
In the face of no profit dilemma, many packaging manufacturers have shifted their attention and created a new market. With the concept of “de-powering†being hot, the light engine market is gradually heating up and it has become a sought-after “object†for some packaging companies.
As early as 2010, the light engine concept has been proposed in the LED industry.
It is understood that initially only a research and production production in Ningbo Meiya. As everyone's voice on the light engine is getting higher and higher, many domestic packaging companies have begun to enter the field of light engines.
"For the packaging enterprise, the transformation of the photoelectric engine is actually a bright road under the meager profit space. The packaging manufacturer has the technical advantage, which can effectively shorten the development time and increase its own profit and market share." Peking University Shanghai Yan Chongguang, a part-time professor at the Institute of Microelectronics, said.
Today, domestic companies that do light engines include Xinli Light Source, Jingke Electronics, Hongli Optoelectronics, Zhonghao Optoelectronics, Smect, Meiya Optoelectronics, Optoelectronics, and Liyang Optoelectronics.
Xiao Guowei, chairman of Jingke Electronics, said that the light engine can promote the assembly of LED light sources and lamps at the low end of the value chain, reducing costs and saving design space. The LED industry should form a supplier such as a light engine.
Since its inception, Zhonghao Optoelectronics has been committed to the development of high-quality COB products. Based on the continuous innovation of products, Zhonghao will focus on the field of COB light engines in the future. "It is expected that the light engine will occupy 20% of the company's overall products in 2016 - 30%, and may even be even higher." Wang Mengyuan, general manager of Zhonghao Optoelectronics said.
In fact, the light engine market in 2015 was not particularly smooth. Wang Mengyuan told Gaogong LED, “Since last year, Zhonghao Optoelectronics has been continuously optimizing product performance and laying a solid foundation for improving product market competitiveness. At the end of the first quarter, sales of light engines have doubled 2-3 times compared with last year. I believe that sales will continue to increase in the next three quarters."
In addition, some insiders said that the light engine penetration rate is not high for the entire domestic lighting market.
Because the ordinary light engine can not fully meet the safety specifications and meet the electrical performance requirements, most enterprises use multi-section voltage distribution to control the cost, which results in the performance and price advantage of the light engine is not large.
Zhao Chunbo, director of Ming Microelectronics' market, also believes that from the current level of technology, the optoelectronic engine that encapsulates the IC onto the light source board has not reached a fully mature stage, and there is no real mass production, and even it is still in the early stage of marketization. But it is undeniable that the light engine will be a new development direction in the field of segmentation.
In fact, the light engine and CSP have similarities. Although the process is bumpy, the light engine will become a future trend.
"The domestic LED lighting market has a lot of space, and the light engine will not have a disruptive impact on the industry. Due to the high cost of traditional power supplies, the light engine will be replaced in the future," said Yang Dong, general manager of Deming Micro.
