ST. LOUIS, MO - Laird Technologies has reportedly developed the T-lamT SS LLD as a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) laminate for LED applications. The claimed environmentally friendly laminate is designed to keep LED light engines burning brighter, longer and more uniformly, according to the company. The product features a copper circuit layer and aluminum base plate bonded together with the company's own dielectric.

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.
