Powerful engine to promote industrial development

In the development of the LED industry, Changzhi has both industry focus and top-level government design. Through the aggregation and operation of scientific research institutions, park carriers, enterprises and capital, a highly concentrated LED industry ecology has been formed. It has gathered key enterprises in the LED industry chain such as Hi-tech Huaye and Zhongke Lu'an to build a complete industrial chain integrating materials, epitaxial chips, equipment manufacturing, packaging, and application. at present, The LED industry in Changzhi is divided into LED (mainly used in lighting displays), ultraviolet LED (mainly used in the field of methamphetamine disinfection and purification), and remote fluorescent LED (mainly used in underwater lighting such as landscape lighting and underwater equipment lighting) according to application direction and production technology.
As the largest production base in the LED display industry in the northern region, Hi-Tech Group has obvious manufacturing advantages. SMD traditional LED packaging projects and display product shipments have always been at the forefront of the industry. It is the second largest enterprise in packaging RGB diodes in China, with an annual output of 250 billion LED lamp beads; an annual output of 20 million LED displays, ranking among the top three in the industry. With its leading technology and stable quality, Hi-Tech Group has been ranked among the "Top Ten LED Display Brands" in the country for three consecutive years. Its products are sold in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country and in more than 50 countries around the world.
Zhongke Lu'an UV Optoelectronics mainly engages in the production and sales of UV LED chips, MOCVD equipment, and UV sterilization equipment. It is recognized as a third-generation semiconductor UV optoelectronics engineering research center and high-tech enterprise in Shanxi Province. Zhongke Lu'an is currently focusing on controlling core materials in the industrial chain. It focuses on the four key links of materials, ultraviolet chips, equipment manufacturing, and packaging devices.
