Technology - Laser Direct Imaging
LDI systems “imprint” the printed circuit board (PCB) pattern directly on blank panels, without the use of a photo tool, thus bypassing the image-related stages associated with traditional contact printing, while providing an superior imaging method.
LDI Advantages
- Fine Line Spacing Capability
- Improve dimensional stability, and high positional accuracy of the circuit platform
- Improve Production Yield
- Short Production Cycle
