Lu Ming Technology Group Xiao Zhiguo: Hunter of Light

With its own patents and a bought "core", Lu Ming Group, led by Xiao Zhiguo, has seized the golden opportunity of the global semiconductor lighting industry. "The 20th century is the era of microelectronics. The 21st century will be the era of optoelectronics. I have my place in this era." Standing in the light museum on the first floor of Dalian Luming Technology Building, it is light yellow, pink, blue and white..., colorful The light shrouded Xiao Zhiguo in the center. His confidence comes from a small chip in his hand. In this size less than two square inches "little guy" can form 15000 light spots, coated with Lumin's own development of luminescent materials enough to illuminate a 30 square meter room, the power consumption is only 1/10 of ordinary incandescent lamps One, the life is 100 times its life. This represents the most important application in the optoelectronic era: semiconductor lighting technology, a solid-state lighting based on a new light source of a semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED). Xiao Zhiguo has a more common explanation for this: traditional lighting converts electricity into heat and then into light, while semiconductor lighting converts electricity directly into light.

This is a bought core. In September 2003, Luming Technology Group Co., Ltd. acquired the Optoelectronics Division of the American Crystal Technology Group (AXT) and established Dalian Lumei Chip Technology Co., Ltd. This less than $10 million transaction is insignificant in the global business landscape. But it caused a sensation in the LED industry.

The semiconductor lighting industry has three main links: luminescent epitaxial wafer growth, chip and package. The technology in the domestic low-end packaging field is relatively mature. It is almost uncompetitive in high-quality epitaxial wafers and chips as key links, far behind The United States, Japan, South Korea, and even Taiwan. The original AXT Optoelectronics Division's epitaxial wafer growth and chip design technology level is second in the United States and the fourth in the world. Xiao Zhiguo acknowledges that this acquisition has allowed Lu Ming to shorten the technical climb time by at least 10 years. "It is a very very A cost-effective transaction."
After "9.11"

Xiao Zhiguo, 42, has always been a very good hunter of light. In 1992, he commercialized the results of his postgraduate studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, making it the world's first generation of rare earth light-storing materials. This material absorbs light for 10 minutes and can self-illuminate in the dark for 12 hours, and does not contain any radioactive elements. Its high efficiency of light storage comes from the microscopic crystal structure inside the material. This structure is like a trap. After the photoelectron falls in, it climbs out. It will glow again during the process. At that time, there was no similar product in the world. He added a new industry to the world - the self-luminous industry. Ten years later, Lu Ming Technology, which he founded, already has the world's largest research and development center for light-storing materials and products. Its seven core companies and 16 cooperative companies account for 70% of the global light storage materials market. Tiananmen Square Reconstruction, Great Hall of the People, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Jinmao Tower, and Frankfurt, Germany, and the French Paris Metro, and even the Norwegian Classification Society approved the use of Luming's evacuation diversion and fire safety signs.

On September 12, 2001, Xiao Zhiguo, who is participating in technical exchange activities in Russia, received news of the collapse of the US World Trade Center. In shock, he thought of the glowing stripes on the stairs and handrails in the building. Because the underground garage of the World Trade Center exploded in 1993, the building was dark and the evacuation work lasted for 6 hours. So the United States considered introducing a technology that can quickly solve the emergency evacuation. In 1994, when the World Trade Center was repaired, it was invented by Xiao Zhiguo. Light storage material.

Soon, the US Business Weekly reported in detail how the light-storing sign of the World Trade Center in the "9-11" incident led to the process of using 1 hour and a half to escape in the case of power outages and smoke. Xiao Zhiguo, who was sullen and rich, was famous for his great reputation. During the renovation of the Pentagon, the first project was equipped with Lumen’s guidance system on its 28-kilometer corridor and aisle. However, Xiao Zhiguo, who fame and fortune, unexpectedly discovered that the “9-11” incident also accelerated the market maturity of this product.

In 2001, more than 200 companies producing light-storing materials suddenly appeared in China. Many of them were copying Luming's products. The water discharged from Luming's factory even became a baby. People often stole it for chemical analysis. The instructor and many of my classmates were invited to work as technical consultants. At the same time, several international giants have also been eyeing Lu Ming. For example, the German Hearst Company, one of the world's top ten chemical companies, has been unsatisfied with the right to obtain Luming products, but hopes to further acquire complete monopoly technology. In the face of this kind of researcher with more than 800 competitors, Lu Ming's pressure can be imagined.

Xiao Zhiguo and his team often negotiated with foreign businessmen during the day. The other party asked for an indicator. Xiao Zhiguo should take the next step and work overtime at night. Keeping a close eye on market-oriented research and development, it is the key to Luming's ability to continuously open competitors. By 2001, Lu Ming's light-emitting luminescent materials had been introduced to the ninth generation, but the era of profiteering that sold for nearly 5,000 yuan per kilogram of material was over. Although the position of the industry boss is still stable, Xiao Zhiguo feels the crisis, when the LED light began to flash in front of his eyes.

Just around 2000, there was a small climax in the semiconductor lighting market. "The characteristic of the semiconductor lighting market is that there will be several new application areas for every 10 lm/W increase in luminous efficiency." Wu Ling, secretary-general of the National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering R&D and Industry Alliance, said that after the breakthrough in the technology for generating high-brightness white LEDs in 1997, the luminous efficiency has made a qualitative leap. In the past, LEDs were only able to illuminate very close products, and they were used in electrical indicators and outdoor displays. Before and after 2000, they were gradually applied to small-size LCD backlights, mobile phone backlights, landscape decoration and other fields. “Especially in the mobile phone backlight market, from 1998 to 2000, there were hundreds of downstream packaging companies in China, and most of them were profitable. It can be said that the prosperity of the mobile phone market has made them.”

In order to catch up in the new field, Xiao Zhiguo entered the second stage of innovation: integrated innovation. That is to buy more mature resources, combined with Luming's accumulated advantages in luminescent materials, shortening the development time.
