The issues like energy shortage and global warming have risen the environmental awareness of energy saving and carbon reduction. Governments around the world thus gradually stop the usage of incandescent light bulbs in order to reduce energy consumption and lower emissions of carbon dioxide. In Taiwan, such affair will be held in 2012.
 
LED (Light Emitting Diode) light source as a new type of green products, is the future trend and the replacement of traditional lighting. The key strengths of LED lights including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, and faster switching…etc. They are used increasingly in applications, especially for backlighting (i.e. a cellular phone requires 12-LED white lights; it is understood that the market is very sticky with LEDs).
 
In recent years, due to Europe's economic problems, the most effective suppliers of LED such as Everlight, Unity Opto, Lextar…etc. have serious negative impacts on business. To resolve this issue, the suppliers have concluded the continuity in developing LED products in any way for opening its economy- to pack LED using SMD handling. Such creation represents as a “secondary protection” for LED that leads to the success of Taiwan LED industry. You may see the result when different countries are seeking business corporations with LED suppliers in Taiwan, leading SMD LED development as a hot spot!
 
Taiwan’s most well-known SMD LED handling companies are Lite-on, Everlight, Ledtech, Harvatek, BrightLED, Unity Opto, Edision, AOT…etc. Among the above mentioned, Lite-on and Everlight are the top 2 companies in Taiwan for providing this packing service. They have also been nominated and fit into top 10 companies in the world.
 
JetPCB also provides the use of LED for copper foil PCB manufacturing services. For more information in regard to copper foil boards, please refer to our site. If you have a request or concerns that you would like to submit, you are free to contact our sales team for assistance.
 
The above mentioned are FYI, thank you.
