The company states that the product is ideal for LED backlight units used in TVs and monitors, as well as light engines for streetlights, safety and other general lighting applications. The MCPCB will reportedly last longer than competitive materials, and the dielectric's microstructure will allow the assembly to withstand thousands of thermal cycles due to CTE mismatch.
“The LED BLU for LCD TVs and street light production will more than triple in 2008, and Laird Technologies has partnered with Iteq to provide high volume laminate production for these explosive markets,” said Robert Kranz, Global Product Director.
