Research On Spatial Distribution And Factors Of LED Industry In Shanghai

LED industry, as a new type of strategic industries of the 21st century, has become an important part of high-tech industry and the key breakthrough for sustainability of economic development in the future. Vigorously developing the LED industry, not only can improve the technological level of traditional lighting, but also promote the development of related industries. So the state departments, local governments and venture capitalists have paid highly attention to the development of LED industry, and surges to the LED industry development recently. Among them, Shanghai, has been attracting a large number of LED enterprises with its huge LED lighting products market and the superiority of the location, scientific research and human resources, but the LED industry didn't play due role in promoting related industries and economic development, which has generated huge interest of experts and scholars in Shanghai. Based on theoretical study of location theory, industry distribution and new economic geography, started with the point of spatial layout, the paper probed status and problems of Shanghai LED industry thoroughly, in order to find the solutions.Based on informative research data what the topic (The key Project of Shanghai Science and Technology Development Fund "Pattern of Cross-linkage Cluster-A Case of LED Industry")provided, this paper summarizes the basic characteristics of Shanghai LED industry, analyzes the spatial pattern and spatial agglomeration characters of Shanghai LED industry in the view of the spatial pattern. After that, the main part of the paper is to further explore the spatial type of Shanghai LED cluster and the behavioral factors which influence the location of LED industry during the process of spatial agglomeration. Finally, having learning the background of Shanghai's LED industry, this paper puts forward some specific proposals on how to enhance the competitive power of Shanghai's LED companies and promote the healthy development of LED industry in Shanghai.
