LED technology and products continue to emerge as lighting demands rise and costs drop. The wave of EMCs, with advantages in Cost/ Performance (C/P), and new flip-chip trends anticipated to continue into 2014. LED package manufacturer Everlight began actively developing EMC products in 2013 and plans to expand production capacity in 2014. The company has also jumped onto the flip-chip technology bandwagon and is currently strategizing a flip-chip supply chain.
Everlight began to develop EMC products in 2013, including in-house developed EMC lead frames. The company also supplies backlight and lighting applications, and plans to introduce EMC products to new backlight clients this year. The company will continue expansion plans in 2014, with monthly production target for EMC products from 6000 PCS last year to 100 million in 2014, according to the company.
Besides strengthening EMC products, Everlight has also begun to strategize new products for recently popular flip-chips. In the past, the company was on the fence about flip-chip production as a production line would require high precision and there would be a need for additional machinery for manufacturing. However, with flip-chip products gradually being integrated into backlight and lighting applications, Everlight decided to take advantage of the current opportunity. In addition, with room for growth in phosphor coating applications, Everlight has decided to establish a flip-chip production line and is currently in talks with clients over new orders.
