CREE Tang Guoqing: Dialectical Analysis of LED Lighting Market


Who is Tang Guoqing?

——CREE (Cui Rui) company general manager of China market expansion, LED lighting experts.



Who is CREE?

-- A listed company that is rated to lead the world in green lighting, LED lighting leader brand.



Regarding Tang Guoqing, regarding the US CREE, in the LED industry in China, not many people have never heard of this person, this company, they all have a strong voice in the LED field.



Then, regarding whether China's LED lighting industry is currently over-hyped, whether it is flooding, whether LED can become mainstream lighting and other issues, Tang Guoqing is standing on the perspective of senior experts and the US CREE China marketing department. How is it objectively evaluated?



Create the first three people in China LED



Tang Guoqing can be regarded as a senior expert in domestic semiconductor lighting. He is now in charge of CREE China market expansion, and is mainly responsible for CREE's overall brand development and market planning in China. He started to contact LEDs more than 20 years ago when he was working at Shanghai Semiconductor Devices. At that time, China's earliest LED factory was born in Shanghai, namely Shanghai Semiconductor Device Sixth Factory (formerly a subsidiary of Shanghai Semiconductor Devices Co., Ltd.). After that, he held senior positions in Jinqiao Export Development Zone, Japan Mitsui (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Jinqiao Dachen Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. and Huagang Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. He is also the executive vice chairman of the Shanghai Optoelectronics Industry Association and the director of the Semiconductor Lighting Committee of the China Lighting Association.



During his relationship with LED, what made him most proud was that in terms of LED, China's three firsts were related to him. First, he planned and edited the first book on semiconductor lighting, which is the most happy thing for him. The second is to launch the first international LED lighting exhibition, and has been running for five sessions; the third is to participate in the organization of the first international LED Forum (already held six sessions).



How to treat the LED status quo?

● LEDs cannot be viewed unilaterally or extremely;

● The perception of LEDs is not completely clear;

● China's LED industry lacks high-end talent;

● LEDs are by no means a tribute to the lighting industry.



At present, LED is a hot topic in China. There are two main viewpoints in the industry: one thinks that LED can replace ordinary lighting immediately; one has certain skepticism about LED.



Tang Guoqing believes that the reason for the above two views is that the LEDs are not clearly understood and there is no good positioning. In fact, exaggeration is unscientific, and depreciation is unscientific. To objectively enter the market, LEDs need accurate guidance from public opinion and support and support from enterprises and associations.



At present, the development of LED in China is mainly the development of epitaxial materials and chips. As far as domestic well-known IT companies are concerned, they have done a lot, and the real core technology is provided by foreign manufacturers. Therefore, looking at things, we must see the side of success and the side of deficiency. China's LEDs have experienced a rapid development stage from scratch, from low to medium levels, but to go to the direction of energy-efficient lighting, there must be a power chip, which is the core part. At present, there are still considerable distances between domestic epitaxial materials and chip manufacturing levels compared with international standards. Secondly, the packaging technology is also very important, because even with the chip, the level of packaging can not be raised. In addition, China's LED industry has a big shortcoming, that is, the lack of high-end top talent.



In Tang Guoqing's view, China's LED has just begun to rise. In the lighting industry, it is a flower that has just bloomed, but she is by no means a icing on the cake. You go to the Red Square in Moscow to see if the landscape lights of the most famous department stores are all incandescent, it keeps this old thing unchanged. But overall, LED will become the mainstream, although it has to go a long way. But from the light source currently known, LED is the most promising. Because it meets the real market needs and conforms to the general trend of industry development, this is a fact that no one can change. Have you been to Weifang? It is already the world of LED street lights. 16,000 LED street lights have quietly opened the door of green lighting in Shandong. Have you been to Dongguan? In several towns, hundreds of kilometers of LED street lights have stood up.



LED love, or should it be afraid?

● In the face of love and fear, it is slightly impetuous;

● Everyone must be able to withstand loneliness, do their own things well, and the whole industry will get up;

● It is a very serious matter to do LEDs, and it is responsible for the government, industry and enterprises.



Nowadays, in the lighting industry or the LED industry, many people are afraid of LED and they are afraid of losing money. For example, the original lighting person thinks that it is simple to do LED lights, and then to do LED lights; the original LED people think that lighting is simple, they will do lighting. "All kinds of phenomena show that it is still a bit impetuous. In fact, as long as you do your own field well, it is very important to be able to withstand loneliness. If everyone does their own part, the whole industry will develop. Now, I want to grab the LED to make some money. This is understandable. But first of all, LED lighting should be regarded as a very serious matter. It is responsible to the government, responsible to the industry, responsible to the enterprise, and using LED light source. The owner is responsible. If the various technologies of LED lights do not meet the requirements, regardless of the brand and quality, they are eager to promote the application in the market, and have a quality problem. What do people think about LED lights?! This is worthy of seriousness. Thinking about the problem." Tang Guoqing said.



How to develop industry standards?

● LED lighting needs to have relevant technical standards to regulate;

● LED lighting standards need to be considered in all aspects, not overheated;

● It is recommended to develop LED standard specifications by referring to the original traditional lighting standards.



In recent years, LED technology and industry have developed very rapidly, especially in the field of semiconductor lighting. As market demand grows, it is necessary to speed up the development of semiconductor lighting technology standards. At present, relevant organizations at home and abroad are actively organizing and formulating semiconductor lighting technology standards, and they are also experiencing overheating problems. Now the lighting industry is actively developing standards for LED lamps. However, it is rare to be absorbed by the LED industry. This is at least biased and fair. "Interlacing is still separated by mountains"! Tang Guoqing personally believes: "LED itself is a brand new thing, and semiconductor lighting, more need to be deeply researched and discussed, can not be rushed. Now the LED testing standards set by international big companies, each The standards of the company are inconsistent. The International Lighting Association has been established for so many years, and there is no system to establish an LED standard. What does this mean? Explain that the development of LED standards is not a problem that can be solved by any enterprise, nor is it an association or a national authority. The problem that the department can solve. But I think that the more realistic approach can be based on the original traditional lighting standards to develop an industry-oriented norm about LED. It needs to stand the test of history, can not be rushed to release, and eager to achieve."

CREE's world status

a company that can change the world



Last year, Fortune magazine selected 15 companies that will change the world. They believe that these companies have changed the rules of the game in their respective fields, which may subvert existing industries and bring new opportunities. Among them, the US CREE (Core) company is on the list.



CREE, the leader of the LED chip brand, is a world-famous manufacturer and innovation leader in semiconductors and devices. Its products have greatly promoted the quality and performance of solid-state lighting, energy and communication products, and occupy a pivotal position in the market. It is worth mentioning that CREE's raw material technology of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) and LED chip packaging make the heat production far lower than other existing technologies, materials and products. Technical advantages.



In 2007, CREE acquired Huagang Optoelectronic Parts Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the LED packaging division of Huagang Optoelectronics (Group) Co., Ltd., which accelerated the development of CREE in China.



According to Tang Guoqing, with the current technical strength of Cree, it has been able to achieve 100 lumens/watt of luminous efficiency. But there is no doubt that this is already the industry leader.



Cree can produce LED chips for lighting, whether it is high power or low power, which is the technical basis for producing LED lighting lamps. This is the next step of Cree.



In short, CREE is leading the world in green lighting through its own technical strength and forward-looking.
