The electronics industry is experiencing an increase in the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The lower power consumption, smaller size and longer life make LEDs an attractive alternative to standard light sources. However, discrete LED arrays used in signs and displays pose significant challenges for PCB manufacturing. The inherent variations in brightness levels and color temperatures become noticeable when many LEDs are mounted together in close proximity in an array. As result surrounding circuitry must be adjusted, often on a PCB by PCB basis, to ensure uniform performance.
This 7-page white paper demonstrates how to solve this problem through a software solution by automating and optimizing the materials operation, ensuring correct material selection and supply to the SMD machine.
