Laser Direct Imaging Equipment Classification and Development Trend

Principle of Laser Direct Imaging Equipment

The principle of laser direct imaging equipment belongs to a type of direct imaging, where the light is emitted by an ultraviolet laser, mainly used in the exposure process in PCB manufacturing. The imaging quality of laser direct imaging technology is clearer compared to traditional exposure technology and has obvious advantages in mid-to-high-end PCB manufacturing. With the rapid progress in PCB design demands requiring corresponding advanced technology in the PCB production process (to achieve thinner materials, more complex structures, and finer graphic requirements within the range of micro errors), traditional contact-based template exposure developing technology can no longer meet the requirements of high-level PCB applications.
