What is a printed circuit board (PCB)? PCB is a fundamental component in electronics. It serves a crucial role in supplying and distributing power to electronic components. PCBs are essential for packaging semiconductors, which are the top exports of South Korea. They are widely used in various products, including smartphones, displays, household appliances, and automobile electronic components, making them a vital part of the electronics industry.</p>
<p><br />
<strong>Dry film</strong> is a photosensitive polymer used as a photoresist in the PCB manufacturing process. This material is essential for forming PCB circuits. Once the dry film is applied onto the copper plate, the desired pattern on the film is "printed" through exposure. It is then developed, etched, and removed, revealing the complete circuit. The use of dry film varies based on its thickness and properties. For semiconductor packaging substrates, high-resolution and high-performance dry films are utilized to maximize the integration density of PCBs.</p>

Composite materials are crucial in the mobile & display industry. The rise of foldable and rollable displays has recently sparked a trend toward using <strong>Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP)</strong> instead of traditional material, metal. This shift has significantly increased the demand for composite materials.</p>
<p><br />
Composite materials can be used in structural components, such as smartphone bodies, and in materials that allow for the flexibility and durability of foldable and rollable displays. These materials not only provide a combination of lightweight strength but also enhance the quality and durability of products that people interact with every day. Due to these properties, CFRPs enable the creation of precise designs and durable display panels required in electronic devices.</p>
