LED- and SMD-polyester film embedded in glass: History, current and future developments

Dr. Daniel Shavit, SUN-TEC Swiss United Technologies Co. Ltd.

The vacuum sputtering of transparent conductive materials on glass and polymers has open a wide window of applications using electronic small mounted devices (SMD) laminated in glass. LEDs and other electronic SMD may be mounted on transparent conductive films to produce flexible, and ready to laminate films. The big adventage of highly flexible film subtrates is the ability to be transportet by fast and low weight air mail in a simple cylindrical packaging paperboard with 16 cm diameter. Furthermore ready to laminate LED and SMD embedded films enable glass laminating companies to produce own new products without the need to invest in electronic pick & place machinery.
