Eliminate the incandescent lamp before one, 2012

The news on April 28 of 2009, EU Committee will pass a regulation in Brussels, stipulate that eliminates incandescent lamp and other highly energy-consuming lighting equipments used as family, industrial sector and public place from market progressively from 2009 to 2012, and done the requirement in respects such as the energy consumption, function, esthetic, hygiene,etc. to lighting equipments such as halide lamp, compact fluorescent lamp, LED lighting lamp,etc.. EU Committee points out, the reason why eliminate highly energy-consuming lighting equipments such as the incandescent lamp,etc. progressively in 4 years, it is for letting manufacturers adjust their production structures progressively, in order to meet consumers' requirement. The analysis according to this, European Union will become European residents' main lighting lamp instead of the incandescent lamp with electricity-saving lamp, halogen lamp and LED lamp.

Second, " rainbow plan " Popularize LED

European Union " The rainbow plan " Started in July of 2000, trusted 6 major companies, 2 universities, popularized the application of the luminescent diode of white light by subsidy of European Union. Hope through employing the semi-conductive illumination to realize high-efficient, energy-conservation, photic goal naturally of material, simulation not using the hostile environment.

Changed the cable lamp of day by force three, 2011 years ago

Europe implemented the automotive day cable lamp by force 2011 years ago, LED applied the more extensively one to the car. In order to increase the safety of road, EU Committee determines various new-type automotives disposed the cable lamp of specialized day 2011 years ago. It is specialized cable lamp of day for every one can lamps and lanternses specials opens automatic, it will improvement to a great extent road more user's visibility to the automotive, compare with low beam light used extraordinary energy-conservation at present, consumption ordinary 25-30% of car light, if use LED technology, the consumption is only 10% of the ordinary car light.

Four, " OLED100.eu" Plan

The news on October 23, 2008, group of an expert organized by industry tap and institute and made up carries on a comprehensive research project ---" OLED100.eu" ,The goal of this project is to develop the organic luminescent diode (OLED) in Europe with higher speed Technology, form the high-efficient OLED applied scientific and technological foundation in the field of common illumination as soon as possible. European Union the seventh chassis agreement offered 12,500,000 euro to this research project ' Nearly equal to 16,500,000 dollars) Reasearch funds.

" OLED100.eu" The project began in 2004, finished at the beginning of this year, succeeded in carrying on OLED research in the illumination was employed, make white light OLED luminescent efficiency up to 50.7 lm/W in the original intensity 1000 cd/m2, (look over the blow-by-blow of our station) The life-span exceeds 10,000 hours at the same time, thus set up the organic foundation that lights.

" OLED100.eu" After the project, European Union still continues investing money in developing the essential norms of organic lighting engineering and common illumination, and five major goals of paying close attention:

1. Gao GuangXiao --100 lm/W;

2. Long life- 100,000 hours

3. Large-area --100x100 cm2

4. Low cost- 100 euro / m2

5. Standard of measurement / applied research
