AU Optronics plans to begin mass production of solar cell modules

Taiwan’s AU Optronics (AUO) display at the end of 2009, mass production of polycrystalline silicon solar Pavilion ZV5000 Battery modules in the “PVEXPO2010 the Third International Solar Exhibition” . Although so far the company has been sourcing solar cell from the outside, but “are being involved in solar cell business of seeking partners” (AUO SeniorAssociateVicePresident, SolarPhotovoltaicBusinessUnit, Jian-Bin Chen). Jian-Bin Chen said that the productive capacity of the module “There is still relatively low, plans in 2010 increased to 250MW”.

AUO has been the amount of the conversion efficiency of mass production and 13.2% of the poly-silicon solar Pavilion DV1000 Batteryl modules.

Jian-Bin Chen also said that the current “In addition to manufacturing cell, the already independent from upstream to downstream in the solar cell business.” In the polysilicon and wafer, the AU Optronics Corp. to M. SETEK funded and has achieved more than half of its shares. In the system integration, the AU participated in the European solar power projects. Jian-Bin Chen said, “Since in solar latitude d830 battery business, it is necessary unit operations involved. Currently we are considering self-produced units, but at least in the initial phase of cooperative enterprises still need help.”

AUO has begun mass production of the module conversion efficiency of 13.2%, maximum output power is 220W. In addition, the company also is developing a conversion efficiency is 14.66% of polycrystalline silicon solar cell modules and conversion efficiency is 14.7 ~ 15.05% of the single crystal silicon solar cell modules. The modules currently are manufactured in Taiwan, AUO is interested in setting up the module manufacturing base in mainland China. In addition, AUO also plans to begin volume production in 2011 thin-film silicon solar xps m1530 akku and xps m1330 batterymodules.

laptop li-ion battery separator be more efficient

As international oil prices high,adapter for laptop more and more car drivers to take into account in determining the fuel economy, which directly led to a worldwide market share of hybrid vehicles rose. Expected that by 2012, U.S. sales of hybrid cars will be increased to 100 million. In order to meet the demanding needs of hybrid cars, laptop battery is key components – membranes must be improved, improve energy efficiency, thus providing more power for this vehicle, the courage to deal with the challenges of the world’s energy shortages.

The important role of the diaphragm is small

Due to the high energy density lithium batteries(xps m1330 battery,latitude d830 battery), long cycle life, light weight, small size and other characteristics, but also has a safe, reliable and can quickly charge and discharge, etc., to become the new power technology in recent years, the research hotspot in the field of high-energy and high-power reserved popular. In the lithium battery structure, the inner membrane is a key component of the. Diaphragm made of plastic film is able to isolate the battery positive and negative, in order to prevent short circuit; also be in the battery overheating, through closed-cell function to block cell in the current conduction.

Chemical’s chief polymer scientist said Bai Peide, lithium battery separator battery costs account for the cost of a / 3. Membrane determines the performance of the batteries(gd761,kd476) interface structure, resistance and so on, a direct impact on the battery capacity, cycle performance, and security features such as, high-performance membrane in improving overall performance of the battery has an important role. At present 60% to 70% of the membrane market, mainly in wet bi-oriented process, because the wet, bi-lateral vertical stretch more evenly balanced. It is mainly used for high-end diaphragm wet, dry method has been applied in the low-end products.

A huge global market volume

Global Li-ion battery production in the past 15 to 17 years has maintained an average of 10% to 20% growth rate from 2001 onwards, the average annual growth rate was as high as 40%. Rapidly growing lithium battery market, in addition to watches, and other one-time button-type batteries,inspiron b120 battery and inspiron b130 battery, as well as secondary rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In addition to the current lithium ion batteries are widely used in daily well-known mobile phones, notebook computers and MP3 and other digital electronic products, in electric cars, electric bicycles and some other high-power batteries have also been started.

At present, countries are scrambling to develop electric cars, hybrid cars will need batteries to provide power, as a pure electric vehicles matching power supply, lithium-ion power supply for its outstanding performance, is becoming the core of the power type. As the hybrid line with today’s national energy development needs of a large environmental protection, consumption growth must be greater than 20%. Reason to believe that lithium batteries will eventually occupy the dominant position of secondary battery market, as its key components, the lithium battery separator huge market capacity.

Personality development to improve energy efficiency

Battery separator is mainly the development of lithium-ion batteries(inspiron e1705 battery,inspiron e1505 battery) with the evolving needs and continue to develop, from the volume point of view, lithium-ion batteries are moving in the small and large two distinct direction. In some, such as mobile phones, digital cameras and other electronic products, in order to meet the beautiful, easy to carry the demand on the battery batteries battery factory has been very small. In pursuit of high energy density, in the small size of the electrode can accommodate more material, the battery manufacturers want to divide the thickness of the thinner the better. Smaller diaphragm is a challenge because of the need to do a thin membrane, but to be able to maintain the original battery capacity, cycle performance, and security features, and greater power, the design easier.

By contrast, in electric bicycles, electric vehicles and electric tools used by power batteries, in order to obtain high-capacity, high-power, usually a battery need to use dozens or even hundreds of batteries to concatenation. Because lithium batteries have the potential explosion hazard, the safety diaphragm is important. Due to become bigger and bigger, technically demanding more efficient and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, power stronger.

Bai Peide convinced, lithium battery separator according to the different needs of different customers to develop targeted products, which divide the future trends. Although the divide is mainly single-market products, but Exxon Mobil has been able to put different materials on different membrane layers, each layer with different formulations vgp-bps2c battery of solvents and raw materials to multi-layer co-extruded to produce hot-melt thickness and diameter of hair, similar to divide and thus produce different properties of products, Bai Peide predict the future trend of multi-layer membrane is also obvious.

Still need to speed up the development of China

According to the Irish market research firm recently issued a lithium battery market forecasts show that China’s current production of lithium batteries as the world’s largest. In the global lithium battery production, the Chinese mainland accounted for 16.9%, China Taiwan region accounted for 6.9%. According to China’s Power Industry Association of Chemistry and Physics, Statistics, 2007 China Li-ion rechargeable battery production reached 1 billion.Affected by China’s lithium-ion battery separator market-oriented development has also begun to take shape, now showing a very good momentum of development. In accordance with the battery output of 1 billion is estimated that consumption of each diaphragm 300 million ~ 500 million square meters between the market value of 10 billion to 1.5 billion.

However, China’s research and development of lithium-ion battery separator got a late start, lithium-ion thinkpad t60 battery separator still mainly rely on imports, leading to the market price remains high. At present, only Japan, the United States and a few countries have a lithium battery separator production technology and the corresponding large-scale industry. China’s domestic market, over 80% of diaphragm were the United States, Japan and the occupation of imported products, domestic divide is mainly in the middle and low-end markets.

The future, China needs to strengthen the industry, academia, research inputs, to develop research achievements with independent intellectual property rights, breaking the Japanes and American enterprises in the membrane industry, technological monopoly; the other hand, enterprises and research institutes should strengthen cooperation, speed up the results The industrialization process of transformation.

China lithium batteries lose a fight to defend a patent bureau

China lithium batteries lose a fight to defend a patent bureau

In the first half of this year, this newspaper since 3114, the four successive interest of the University of Texas and its commercial mandate Hydro Quebec, Canada, Phostech alleges that the U.S. battery maker A123 (GEM), Inc., Vaillant (Valence) Company Infringement lithium ion phosphate patent dispute. This series of reports have caused widespread concern outside the industry. Today, lithium ion phosphate laptop batteries on the topic of the patent once again affects the electric car industry’s nerves, but the protagonist of the incident replaced by China.

On lithium ion phosphate in North America, playing a flurry of patent lawsuits when a lithium ion phosphate battery patents to defend the war broke out in China. DVD patent pool

To avoid recurrence of this tragedy, our country more than the battery(GD761, KD476 ) companies and research institutions are positive actions, to collect evidence to prove that Hydro Quebec and the French research center in China last year, the application of phosphorus acid, lithium ion-layering carbon technology patents (now an exclusive license to the Canadian Phostech company) is invalid. However, the present situation, the Chinese side want to win, extremely difficult.
The success of foreign companies in China apply for patents

layering of carbon this year, China’s electric cars and motive power batteries forum is particularly high. In almost every forum, can see the shadow of Canada Phostech company representatives.

Not long ago, the fourth South China Lithium Power (International) high-level Technical Forum held in Shenzhen. Made a special trip from Canada came to participate in the forum Phostech Rice, CEO? Toston smiling. After the introduction of products and technology, Toston answered live audience on the patent question. He said: “In the United States, the Tribunal intends to recess for some time to continue to hear from companies such as our A123 lithium ion phosphate battery patent dispute. Last December, the European Patent Office rejected the Phostech the company’s lithium ion phosphate battery patent application(Dell inspiron E1505 battery ,inspiron 1501 battery) . We intend to continue to apply for patents, is expected to be approved in 2010. In addition, in Japan, we are also actively apply for a patent. ”

Toston Phostech talked about companies in the United States, Japan and Europe application for a patent case, but did not mention China, and I wonder if the wish to avoid. According to report, in 1999, the French scientific research center, Professor Michael? Oman and Germany invented the carbon-layering technology, solves the conductivity of lithium ion phosphate materials, poor problem. Subsequently, from Hydro Quebec and the French Scientific Research Center have applied for the patent. In 2008, the two institutions in the Chinese patent application is approved, the patent has been the exclusive right to use license to the Canadian Phostech company. Seize the high ground in the patent

after, Phostech actively explore the Chinese market. Currently, the company has opened an office in Shanghai. At the same time, its high-level frequent appearances in China, and actively promote the company’s lithium ion phosphate batteries and materials.

two patents can not by pass

Chinese Academy of Engineering, Li-Quan Chen told reporters, in the lithium ion phosphate batteries,dell battery inspiron e1505 and material field, there are two core technology patents can not be bypass, one of which is the layering of carbon technology patents, and the other is the carbon-thermal reduction technology patents. The former has applications in China, the Canadian company has the exclusive right to use Phostech; the latter owned by the United States Viagra can be company, has yet to apply for a patent in China. However, Viagra can be company has set up two companies in Suzhou — Vaillant Technology Co., Ltd., Takeyasu Energy Limited, are responsible for the production of lithium ion phosphate materials, and battery production(dell GD761, KD476). In order to seize the Chinese market, Viagra can be company does not rule out the patent on the trivial.

Academician Li-Quan Chen also told this reporter in a surprising thing: It turned out that Viagra can be company owned by the carbon thermal reduction technology patents, is entirely his students — Dong masterpiece.

2000, the Dong switched from a Canadian company to enter the United States Vaillant, serving as a senior research fellow. Prior to that, he has been the French National Research Center for Condensed Matter Physics Institute of Chemistry of Bordeaux and received a doctorate and post-doctoral study in the United States. In Vaillant’s work, Dong fully demonstrated the Chinese people industrious, intelligent character in just six years, he helped Vaillant companies in 28 countries around the world applied for the patent materials, lithium ion phosphate (Dong is the inventor , the property Vaillant companies).

However, things are unpredictable Dong was perhaps never imagined that today, these patents would become the Chinese battery (dell xps m1330 battery,xps m1730 battery)enterprises to enter the field of lithium ion phosphate battery barrier.

“At that time, I can think of their own materials, lithium ion phosphate formulations and preparation methods are written out and apply for a patent. Some of the patent, Viagra can be company already has a corresponding time technology, and others are under development, there are simply not begun to study. This series of patents is very tight, almost covering the manufacturing aspects of lithium ion phosphate battery is indeed hard to break. “talking about past events, Dong so right , told reporters.

want the patent is invalid, the Chinese side little chance of toppling

“in the lithium ion phosphate batteries and materials, China has absolutely can not be called art. There are few enterprises that Patent no problem, it is nonsense, and there are many complex issues to be resolved. If we say that, for the University of Texas and the A123 between other organizations such as lithium ion phosphate patent dispute case, we are somewhat indifferent manner of taste, then this a company in China with access to packet Phostech deposited carbon technology patents, as well as companies such as Viagra can seize the Chinese market to accelerate the pace of the patent problem has become very realistic placed in front of us, not be evaded. “a company official said the battery.

Is aware of this, these batteries(dell inspiron b120 battery,inspiron b130 battery) before businesses and relevant research institutions together to gather evidence, look forward to tear down barriers to multinational patents.

State Intellectual Property Office a staff surnamed Wang told reporters, “Patent Law” Article 22 clearly provides that a patent application at least have novelty, creativity and practicality, and no other substantive issues, in order to be authorized. By the same token, if you want the patent invalid, the State Intellectual Property Office shall review committee to pursue the invalid request has been authorized by the patent to prove there is no novelty, inventiveness or usefulness. If rejected, you need to bring an action through the legal channels to resolve.

The staff member also said that the best means of proof is to find a one or more previously public documents, and to compare the patent claims, xps m1330 battery,if the overlap, you can prove that the patent the lack of novelty. Corporate sources, and now they have found an open literature, but the arguments are not particularly strong. Once the proceedings, the odds are not great.

Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Physics, doctoral tutor Huang Xue-Jie said, after the U.S. Japan’s NTT paid 30 million yuan (equivalent to RMB) settlement, the only solution of the lithium ion phosphate material patent disputes. Many enterprises in Taiwan is to spend money to buy other companies to Phostech the right to use the patent. “If in the end, China and Japan, companies have to embark on the road to spend money on patent licensing, which is China’s ion phosphate lithium battery manufacturers would be a bad news, but also a sad thing.”
