Mini LED Packaging Substrate: The Core of Next‑Generation Display Technology
Mini LED packaging substrate is the critical carrier for micro‑pitch LED display technology. It not only provides physical support for LED chips but also ensures precise electrical signal transmission, efficient heat dissipation, and stable optical performance. As display technology rapidly advances toward pixel pitches below P1.0, the requirements for circuit precision, gestione termica, and reliability of packaging substrates have become extremely stringent. Leveraging deep industry expertise, UGPCB introduces its Mini LED packaging substrate—engineered to meet the demand for ultimate performance in high‑end direct‑view displays and backlight modules.
This substrate adopts a 4‑layer high‑density interconnect (ISU) struttura, with an overall thickness of only 0.5 mm and a unit size of 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm. Designed for advanced packaging processes such as chip‑level packaging (per esempio., MIP technology) and Chip‑on‑Board (PANNOCCHIA), it addresses core challenges in micro‑pitch displays—including soldering reliability, gestione termica, e l'integrità del segnale. It is the ideal foundation for seamless, high‑contrast, and highly reliable LED displays.

Core Design Principles & Operating Mechanism
Successful Mini LED Produzione PCBA starts with a superior substrate. UGPCB focuses on three critical design principles:
-
High‑Precision Patterning & Allineamento: IL 30 μm line width and 80 μm spacing represent a technological threshold. We employ modified Semi‑Additive Process (MSAP) E Imaging diretto laser (LDI) to accurately etch insulation channels between tiny pads, effectively preventing micro‑short circuits or metal migration—foundational for high‑yield PCB production.
-
Exceptional Thermal Management: Mini LED chips exhibit high power density; heat accumulation accelerates luminous decay and reduces lifespan. Our high‑thermal‑conductivity substrate material, combined with optimized power‑layer design, creates an efficient heat‑conduction path, rapidly transferring heat from the chips to the system heatsink, ensuring long‑term display stability.
-
Reliable Solder & Packaging Interface: The ENIG surface finish offers excellent solderability, and its flat plating surface is ideal for mass chip transfer and eutectic bonding. This provides a solid foundation for subsequent SMT or die‑bonding processes, significantly improving overall assemblaggio PCBA yield and reliability.
Operating Principle: Through its internal high-precision copper traces, the substrate accurately distributes current and control signals from the driver IC to each Mini LED chip. Contemporaneamente, it acts as a robust mechanical platform and thermal hub, supporting and protecting the fragile chips while dissipating operational heat—ensuring each pixel operates durably, stably, and efficiently.
Applicazioni primarie & Classifications
Based on end‑use and technical approaches, UGPCB’s Mini LED packaging substrate serves two main fields:
-
Mini LED Direct‑View Display
The forefront of display technology, targeting seamless tiling for TVs and commercial large‑screen displays. Our substrate is ideal for:-
MIP Packaging: The substrate serves as a carrier unit for individual or multiple chips before being mounted onto the display driver board. This demands extremely high dimensional accuracy and pad consistency.
-
COB Packaging: LED chips are directly bonded onto the substrate before overall encapsulation. This requires outstanding heat resistance and adhesion to encapsulants—perfectly addressed by our material selection and surface treatment.
-
-
Mini LED Backlight Modules
Used primarily in high‑end TVs, gaming monitors, ecc. Qui, the substrate carries thousands to tens of thousands of Mini LED chips as the backlight source, emphasizing uniform light distribution, wiring for local dimming zones, and reliability under prolonged high‑temperature operation. Our substrate ensures independent control of each backlight zone via high‑precision circuitry, enabling stunning picture quality with million‑to‑one contrast ratios.
Competitive Advantages
In a competitive market, UGPCB’s Mini LED packaging substrate builds a solid barrier through several core processes:
-
Finer Processing: Compared to traditional LED substrates or standard HDI PCBs, our 30 μm/80 μm line/space capability supports smaller chips and finer pixel pitches, enabling customers to achieve more detailed display quality.
-
More Robust Packaging Solution: Special dielectric filling and a process that embeds front‑side circuits address the industry challenge of ultra‑fine lines peeling or damaging during handling and use. This structure “locks” circuits firmly within the substrate, greatly enhancing mechanical strength and reliability.
-
Superior Thermal & Optical Performance: The high‑reflectance white solder mask (PSR‑4000 AUS308) maximizes light reflection from the chips, boosting screen brightness and contrast. Optimized layer‑up and material selection provide excellent thermal pathways, ensuring product longevity from the source.
Rigorous Production Process
We adopt advanced Substrate‑Like PCB (SLP) manufacturing flow to ensure every substrate meets design limits. Key steps include:
-
Preparazione del materiale & Modellazione: Select coreless material; form precise front‑side circuits via lamination, esposizione, sviluppo, and plating.
-
Image suggestion: LDI or plating line in cleanroom.

-
-
Buildup & Perforazione laser: Brown‑oxidation of circuits, followed by lamination of dielectric and copper foil. High‑precision laser drilling creates micro‑vias of 40–100 μm diameter.
-
Via Metallization & Backside Patterning: Electroless copper deposition makes blind vias conductive, followed by via‑filling plating. Back‑side circuit patterning is then completed.
-
Carrier Removal & Maschera di saldatura: Temporary carrier removal; fast‑etch technology embeds front‑side circuits into the dielectric and forms back‑side pads. High‑reflectance white solder mask is printed, followed by ENIG surface finish.
-
Ispezione finale & Confezione: After rigorous Ispezione ottica automatizzata (AOI), electrical testing, ecc., qualified products are vacuum‑packed in a Class‑1000 cleanroom, ready for delivery to customers for chip packaging and PCBA assembly.
