Recent growth in LED technology and solid-state Lighting has provided the electronics manufacturing industry with viable solutions for its addition into today’s electronic devices. LEDs have become an alternative light source to conventional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. The electronics manufacturing industry sees the greatest benefits from the small size and lower power consumption of today’s LEDs.

There also is the recent trend to use “green technology” in consumer and commercial electronics. LED components offer high brightness and power efficiency, as well as lower carbon emissions than traditional lighting technologies. This aspect has made Led lighting popular with government organizations, which are now installing led lighting in public places and government offices worldwide.

When used for illumination purposes, LEDs are more cost-effective than traditional lighting sources. Thus, the global LED component market is witnessing an increasing demand. As a result, companies in the surface-mount technology (SMT) industry are expanding their manufacturing capabilities to meet this demand. High brightness LED components currently are experiencing high growth as the backlighting application in TVs is shifting from traditional CCFL technology to LEDs. The range of new and potential applications for LEDs in electronics is practically endless.
