[Text / "High-tech LED - Technology and Applications" September issue]
The trend of future replacement of traditional LED products with traditional lighting is certain, but the future LED lighting products will enter in what form, but it is worthy of consideration for all LED lighting products manufacturers. Perhaps it is still the continuation of traditional lighting, perhaps a product with more LED-specific features. No matter what form of expression, it is certain that high-efficiency, low-cost, easy-to-maintain lighting products will be the mainstream form in the future. Therefore, the most suitable products for LED products in the future are only in the form of optical components, which include components such as light source components, power components, housing components, and connector components. The market characteristics can be expressed as follows:
First of all, the process assembly is more convenient and convenient for automated scale production; secondly, improving the yield rate can reduce the manufacturing cost; third, the ordinary consumer can also change the light-emitting characteristics of the light source without repurchasing the lamp housing; In other words, the optical component is an LED lighting product that can reduce the price of the LED product, reflect the LED characteristics, and realize marketization.
No one knows what kind of appearance LED lighting products will look like in the future. Therefore, as a possible mainstream product, optical components, the appearance can also be diverse, but no matter how the shape changes, under the market requirements. Must have their own standards:
(1) Minimum light efficiency standard
At present, LED products can achieve 90-110Lm/W in actual use, but to reflect the LED energy-saving effect, in actual use, the light efficiency must reach 240Lm/W or more. Of course, the higher the light efficiency, the better. Increase, indicating that the higher the conversion rate of electro-optical light, the less heat is generated, the smaller the dependence of the product on the radiator, not only can reduce the amount of radiator used, reduce the energy consumption in the manufacturing process, but also make it easier to design. The appearance of the SSL product features;
(2) Unified illumination standard
Whether it meets the human body's standard for light demand, illuminance is the key measure of the product, and the product with high light efficiency, if the illuminance of the product can not meet the daily use standards of consumers, the light emitted by it is useless.
The lighting standard depends on the following points: 0.4 for general indoors.
1. Illumination distribution of lamps 2. Lamp efficiency 3. Relative position of lamps in the irradiation area 4. Reflected light in the enclosed area using coefficient method = (source light flux) × (CU) × (MF) ÷ area of ​​illumination, maintenance The coefficient MF = (LLD) X (LDD), generally takes 0.7 to 0.8.
(3) Uniform positioning point size
When consumers purchase L ED lighting products in the existing market, they usually need to purchase the entire luminaire. However, if the light source is damaged, the color is not satisfactory, or the brand of the light source needs to be replaced, the entire luminaire needs to be purchased again. It is a wasteful choice for consumers. The light source part of the optical component adopts the form of components, which obviously avoids waste of resources when replacing the light source. However, due to the difference between the manufacturer and the product, if there is no uniform standard, the homogenous product will not be matched. Phenomenon, therefore, only the establishment of the standard positioning point standard of the light source product components, including the position standard, the aperture size, etc., can achieve the alternative of the light source (as shown in Figure 1).

High density interconnect (HDI) PCBs represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the Printed Circuit Board market. Because of its higher circuitry density, the HDI PCB design can incorporate finer lines and spaces, smaller vias and capture pads, and higher connection pad densities. A high-density PCB features blind and buried vias and often contains microvias that are .006 in diameter or even less.
Regarding the electrical needs of high-speed signal, the board should have various features i.e. high-frequency transmission capability, impedance control, decreases redundant radiation, etc. The board should be enhanced in the density because of the miniaturization and arrays of the electronic parts. In addition, to the result of the assembling techniques of leadless, fine pitch package and direct chip bonding, the board is even featured with exceptional high-density.
There were a lot of different names for the PCB with such structures. For example, it was called SBU (Sequence Build up the Process) in European and American industry as the program production is in the constructive mode of sequence. It was called MVP (Microvia Process) in Japanese industry because the hole of such products is much smaller than the previous one. It was also called BUM (Build up Multilayer PCB Board ) because the traditional multilayer is known as MLB (Multilayer PCB Board).In order to avoid confusion, IPC Printed Circuit Association proposed to call it HDI (High Density Interconnection Technology) as the common name, but it can not reflect the characteristics of the circuit board. So the majority in the PCB industry define such products as HDI PCB.
Innumerable benefits are associated with HDI PCB, like high speed, small size and high frequency. It is the primary part of portable computers, personal computers, and mobile phones. Currently, HDI PCB is extensively used in other end user products i.e. as MP3 players and game consoles, etc.
HDI PCBs take advantage of the most recent technologies existing to amplify the functionality of circuit boards by means of the similar or little amounts of area. This development in board technology is motivated by the tininess of parts and semiconductor packages that assist superior characteristics in innovative new products like touch screen tabs.
HDI PCBs are described by high-density features comprising of laser micro-vias, high performance thin materials and fine lines. The better density allows extra functions per unit area. These types of multifaceted structures give the required routing resolution for large pin-count chips which are used in mobile devices and other high technology products.
The placement of the parts on the circuit board needs extra precision than conservative board design due to miniature pads and fine pitch of the circuitry on the circuit board. Leadless chips require special soldering methods and additional steps in the assembly and repair process.
The lesser weight and size of the HDI circuitry means the PCBs fit into the little spaces and have a smaller amount of mass than conservative PCB designs. The smaller weight and size even signifies that there is lesser chance of harm from mechanical shocks.
The via-in-pad process supports more technology on fewer layers, proving that bigger is not always better. Since the late 1980's we have seen video cameras using cartridges the size of a novel, shrink to fit in the palm of your hand. Mobile computing and working from home pushed technology further to make computers faster and lighter, allowing the consumer to work remotely from anywhere.
HDI Technology is the leading reason for these transformations. Products do more, weigh less and are physically smaller. Specialty equipment, mini-components and thinner materials have allowed for electronics to shrink in size while expanding technology, quality and speed.
According to layer up different, currently DHI board is divided into three basic types:

HDI Printed Circuit Boards - High Density Interconnect PCB Technology
With the development of society, the progress of technology comes from people's constant pursuit of life and their yearning for higher quality of life. Personal consumer electronic products such as notebook computers, personal computers and mobile phones require lighter weight and smaller volume, while smaller volume requires smaller design accuracy and higher density. At the same time, the quality and speed of interconnection technology should be better. This requires designers who make these products to design better components to improve electrical performance, such as circuit boards and so on.
In order to manufacture PCB products of this kind, PCB manufacturers need more advanced manufacturing technology. Of course, from the point of view of product cost, it needs lower cost. This seems contradictory, but HDI PCB can solve this problem very well. HDI PCB has numerous advantages, such as high speed, small size and high frequency.
HDI PCB is the better option for high-layer count and costly laminated boards.
