In the blink of an eye, more than half of 2018 has passed. In this year, the LED industry has become more mature and the market has stabilized. The giant enterprises, Evergrande, use the advantages of capital and technology to continuously extend the industrial chain to consolidate their leading position; on the other hand, the emergence of new technologies also gives small enterprises the opportunity to grow bigger. So, what other "trends" in the LED industry are worth paying attention to next? Upgradable is an essential step for intelligent lighting. Recyclable economy is a key step in building a harmonious society of resource conservation and resource recycling. With the efficient use and recycling of resources as the core, under this big trend, the modularization, upgradability and interchangeability of intelligent lighting will be an essential step. Taking smart road lighting as an example, smart road lamps include smart road controllers, sensors, power supplies, and light sources. Their modularity can enable them to be repurposed. The standardization of connections and installation interfaces between them is a very important first step to support the circular economy. Modularization and interface standardization can make road lighting smart Ready, especially the standardized installation interface makes it easy to install or upgrade IoT control technology in road lamps now and in the future. It allows components to be modified and replaced on site without disassembling the lamps, and supports widely used dimming protocols such as DALI and 0/1-10V. The future of health lighting is bright. Scientific research on lighting continues to deepen, and the relationship between light and health is increasingly being discovered by humans. For example, lighting has expanded to the field of non-visual biological effects. Many studies have shown that the non-visual effects of light on the human eye can affect the release of melatonin, sleep, and biological rhythms at night. These all herald a bright future for the health industry. Today's lighting market, from the perspective of environmental protection and energy-saving products, the market has become saturated, but from the perspective of health, the market is a blue ocean. Nobel laureate Shuji Nakamura gave a speech at Fudan University, proposing that the first generation of LED products have blue light hazards, which can be serious and even lead to cancer. Most of the current popular products on the market have this problem, including government buildings, banks, and even hospitals, schools, and families. Therefore, with a health-oriented approach, the market will be reshuffled and reformed. LED packaging companies have entered the small-pitch display market. In recent years, with the rapid expansion of small-pitch display app stores, more and more LED packaging manufacturers have begun to enter this market. According to the "2017 Global Small Pitch Market Development Status and Future Trends" released by market survey machine QYResearch in June 2017, it is predicted that the small pitch LED market will reach 3600 million US dollars in 2022. For LED packaging companies, the increase in demand for the small pitch market is an opportunity, but as the size of the package device becomes smaller and smaller, the difficulty of packaging becomes larger and larger, which puts forward higher requirements for packaging manufacturers.
