Market of IR LED
The infrared emitting tube power more than visible light LED, is often used in communication and sensor field. Remote control demand growth has a significant decreasing trend, the infrared transmitting tube transferred to the wireless communication field development, communication with the LED will be widely used, especially in the field of data transmission of computer products. Therefore, the formulation of the wireless data transmission module in the United States Association of infrared data transmission (IrDA) protocol, IrDA is fast, safe and reliable, interference small advantage, make the IrDA become a computer tool for short distance wireless data transmission. In the vigorous development of wireless data transmission of the trend, IrDA and Bluetooth as much at, although IrDA has alignment angle is small, can not have obstacles and other shortcomings, but its reliability and safety, small interference characteristics is expected to be complementary with Bluetooth wireless data transmission technology co existing, very is conducive to the use of computer peripheral product device. The future of the LED industry is a big business.Because of the power of The infrared emission tube is greater, but also be used to replace the use of laser in optical fiber communication and the printer, wherein LED is used for buildings in short distance optical communication emitting and receiving applications, because of not to and no significant market for a printer, and the infrared transmitting tube is the focus of attention, but the LED light source printer in the pursuit of high resolution they still need a considerable amount of time development. Despite the high power infrared emitting tube is still in the development stage, the future is in “fiber to the home” and the infrared emission tube printer resolution increasing trend, a big business is still the LED industry.People usually think that the infrared transmitting tube is a small market, 500 large LED manufacturers in China area only 20% in the production of infrared transmitting tube, and the majority of manufacturers in the infrared emission tube yield only the total yield of 10-20%. But in fact, from China Optics and optoelectronics industry association data show that in 2012 the overall yield, the infrared transmitting tube is estimated to be about 5310000000, grow 18% than 2004. Because the electronic and industrial field demand remains strong, the industry generally expected the infrared emission tube industry will continue to develop steadily, the industry association is expected the yield will rise 18% in this year, reached 6260000000, the number of manufacturers will also increase to 120.
