TAIPEI, TAIWAN – June could bring a drop in PCB notebook orders, reports DigiTimes.
 
Although Gold Circuit Electronics (GCE) and HannStar Board reported steady orders for April and May, visibility remains indefinite for June.
 
GCE expects a 36% increase in notebook shipments sequentially, says DigiTimes. The company forecast 7.5 million units shipped for the second quarter.
 
In May, GCE started producing low volumes of HDI boards for CULV notebooks. Depending on third-quarter results, it could expand capacity, according to DigiTimes.
 
HannStar forecast 15 million to 16 million units shipped in the second quarter, a 25% to 35% increase.
 
In August, the company plans to increase its HDI monthly capacity from 150,000 to 250,000, reports DigiTimes.
 
Both companies report that the outlook for the third quarter remains unclear.
