LED industry policy subsidies need to return to rational

LED manufacturers in Taiwan stated that the two-year LED subsidy policy in Mainland China caused excessive LED capacity across the Taiwan Strait, which indirectly made the price fall. If the Chinese government’s policy changes in the future, it will help the entire LED industry order, while Taiwan’s core competitiveness Companies with good operating capabilities will win.

Various local governments in China have resorted to a variety of subsidies, especially the purchase of LED epitaxy machine subsidy of RMB 10 million (approximately NT$48 million), but due to the lack of experience in the production, management, and management of LED, LED, and LED products. , Many LED epitaxial plant idle machines, waste resources, but the equipment factory in Europe and America.

The head of the LED epitaxial plant said that there were once visits by Chinese banks. When referring to LED-related companies in mainland China, there were 3,000 cases waiting for financing. There were as many as 70 and 80 upstream in China, but there were only three companies in the real scale. , BDO Runda, the downstream packaging plant is also hundreds of Taiwanese businessmen in China's LED factory had cooking staff, left to open a LED packaging plant, China's flood subsidies, so that the industrial order chaos, Indirect endangers Taiwanese companies.

Wu Qinghui, chairman of Dongbei Optoelectronics, stated that if the government of the Chinese mainland cancels the subsidies for machinery and equipment, it will instead use surface subsidies. This is a good sign.

Zhang Shixian, general manager of Epistar’s optoelectronics division, stated that the new direction of the mainland is that the two sides work together to formulate standards. After a credible agency test, companies with good quality and cost competitiveness receive subsidies. This is for LED companies and their consumption. And a kind of subsidy policy that is good for the country.

Zhang Shixian took the example of a very successful energy-saving TV subsidy program launched in China last year. Originally 32- to 40-inch LEDs were highly price-sensitive, so it was difficult for LEDs to replace CCFLs. However, last year the government began to provide subsidies for people to purchase energy-saving TVs. As a result, 90% of new TVs currently use LED backlights. This kind of policy is very helpful to the industry.
