LED driver / power market chaos 90% without patent protection

LED power is an important factor affecting the life of LED products. The quality of the power supply depends on the environment, materials, processes and maintenance of the power supply. According to industry insiders, at present, in the LED power supply market, the key to competing with each other is to improve the cost performance of the power supply. Winning by quality is the common goal of most enterprises.

At present, the patents of China's LED industry are mainly concentrated in the application fields of the middle and lower reaches. Due to the lack of upstream core technology, China's LED companies not only face patent risks in the international arena, but also spend a lot of money on patent litigation and applications every year, which seriously restricts the development of China's LED industry.

According to the Guangdong Provincial Patent Office, packaging is the main research and development and patent application field in China's LED industry, accounting for 38%. However, the current research hotspots in the field of LED packaging are substrates, phosphors, packages and heat dissipation.

According to LED power professionals, the current application of LED power supply is very repetitive. This is related to the chaos of the power supply market. Unless there is a special technology that requires patent protection, LED power supply generally does not require patent protection.
