日本工业分析家宣称,在世界光电子元件市场上,日本已超过美国,成为头号国家。对光电子市场,不同观察家有不同的定义,因而对世界市场有不同的分析。例如 Laser-Focus 杂志关于激光、光学、探测器的年度综述所列的数据则较基于日本数据所作的大得多。尽管有些差异,本文仍列出日本光电子工业与技术发展协会最近发表的数据。包括在光电子元件类的有激光器、发光二极管、传感器、探测器、目光电池、光纤及其他光电子元件。据该协会统计,1981年,光电子元件市场 Japanese industrial analysts claim that in the world market of optoelectronic components, Japan has surpassed the United States to become the number one country. There are different definitions of the optoelectronic market and different observers, and thus different analyzes of the world market. For example, Laser-Focus magazine’s annual review of lasers, optics, and detectors lists much larger data than Japan-based data. Despite some differences, this article still lists the data recently published by the Japan Photoelectronics Industry and Technology Development Association. Included in the optoelectronic components are lasers, light-emitting diodes, sensors, detectors, eye cells, optical fibers and other optoelectronic components. According to the association statistics, in 1981, optoelectronic components market
