| Summary: | 技術採用生命週期（Technology Adoption Life Cycle）理論探討技術擴散過程中各階段消費者的行為，並進而使業者了解未來產業的發展趨勢與方向。本論文即嘗試透過結合技術採用生命週期理論，分析LED背光源應用所處之時空和市場，觀察LED產業商業模式的發展，從中尋找LED產業之智慧財產管理課題。LED產業於小型面板背光源的應用，如：手機、MP3、PDA、GPS、數位相機等，已然跨過技術採用生命週期所描述的龍捲風暴階段，進入康莊大道。另一方面，LED於中大型面板背光源的應用才正要刮起風暴，並期待著下一個殺手級應用—通用照明，引領極富綠色環保色彩的LED 產業繼續起飛。然而，因關鍵性專利始終握在國際大廠手上，限制了我國LED產業的發展，也阻礙了技術的擴散。幸而我國LED業者依舊在一片紅海中殺出重圍，成為LED產值世界第二大的基地，也成了國際大廠不得不倚重的對象。下一個風暴的成功，國際大廠仍需要透過授權或策略聯盟繼續壯大其勢力，這是我國LED業者的機會，亦可趁此持續發展技術，配合擅長的系統端整合應用，一舉取得逆轉勝門票。 === Technology Adoption Life Cycle theory discussed various behavior in different phases during the technology diffusion process to let industries learn the trend of future development. The thesis tries to analyze LED backlight application at this point of time and also tries to link up with Technology Adoption Life Cycle theory to find out intellectual property management issues in LED industry today. The LED backlight application on small LCD display, such as mobile phones, MP3, PDA, digital cameras, and GPS, had already passed through the tornado stage in the description of Technology Adoption Life Cycle theory, and it got into the main street stage for sure. On the other side, LED backlight application on medium/large LCD display is just blowing a storm now, and waiting for next killer application, general lighting, to lead the green energy industry a bright way as well. Nevertheless, the essential patents of LED are held by international firms all along. Our LED industry development is certainly limited and technology diffusion is restricted. Fortunately, LED firms in Taiwan still made a great breakthrough that Taiwan has become one of the top two LED product bases in the world. It made international LED firms have to rely on us in some degree. The next triumph to achieve may so far require licensing from big firms or to form a strategic alliance to foster it. It is our opportunity to keep improving our technology in system integration that we are good at, and cooperate with big firms to win the coming game in the foreseeable forture.
