Zhang Xiaoyuan and his Delegate from Department of Resource Allocation and Management of Ministry of Science and Technology visited NCU

         On the afternoon of July 9, Zhang Xiaoyuan, Director of the Department of Resource Allocation and Management of the Ministry of Science and Technology, together with his delegate visited NCU to investigate the progress of the “High-quality, full-spectrum inorganic semiconductor lighting materials, devices, and industrial manufacturing technologies for lamps”, which is a national key R&D project. Zhao Jincheng, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Liu Chunxiao, deputy director of the Provincial Intellectual Property Office, Yu Xiaoshe, secretary of the school party committee, and vice president Jiang Fengyi and Deng Xiaohua accompanied the investigation.

         At the National Silicon-base LED Engineering Technology Research Center, Liu Junlin, the project leader, reported to Zhang Xiaoyuan on the project background, expected results, process management, and medium-term progress. Zhang Xiaoyuan said that the ability and level of collaborative scientific research among participant units serve as an important basis for the effectiveness of research projects. He hoped that Nanchang University will continue to work hard to achieve more and better results.

         "High-quality, full-spectrum inorganic semiconductor lighting materials, devices, and lighting industrial manufacturing technology" project is one of the key projects of the "strategic advanced electronic materials", which is a national key research and development program. The program is led by the National Silicon-base LED Engineering Technology Research Center together with 25 influential universities, research institutes and enterprises in the LED industry to jointly tackle the problem of color rendering index, color temperature, light efficiency and coordinating problems faced by current LED lighting. The first thing is to solve the problem of “green light gap” by breaking through the structural design, material growth and key scientific and technical issues in chip manufacturing of high-efficiency five-primary LED chips (blue, cyan, green, yellow and red) for high-quality full-spectrum LED light source without phosphors. The goal is to take the lead in breaking through the next generation of semiconductor lighting core technology, namely, LED lighting technology without phosphors, and promote the performance of yellow, green and cyan LED to lead the international market and realize the leap-forward development of semiconductor lighting technology in China.
