Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional PCB boards experience warpage due to the large expansion and contraction coefficients of organic resin insulating layers, leading to deformation and peeling of conductive layers, which affects performance and requires additional heat dissipation structures, increasing costs.

Innovation Solution

A manufacturing method using a glass substrate with a silver paste wiring layer and non-transparent ink material layers, where the glass substrate's low expansion coefficient minimizes deformation and eliminates the need for additional heat dissipation structures, while the silver paste wiring ensures conductivity without using insulating resin.
