TAIPEI – Advence Printed Circuit Board forecasts revenue growth of 30% year-over-year in 2010 at its Taiwan and China plants, as a result of PCBs for notebooks, says DigiTimes.

The firm’s orders remain relatively flat with fourth-quarter 2009 levels.

PCB demand is said to be stable for the notebook webcam, light bar, touch panel and mini PCB segments, according to the publication.

Monthly revenues of touch panel boards were NT$8 million to $10 million last year, compared to the more than NT$20 million contributed by this segment in January 2010 alone.

Also, LED and CMOS packaging boards, as well as DRAM module broads are expected to grow this year.

The firm expects revenues to reach NT$500 million this month and NT$1.4 billion in the first quarter.
