I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

08/14/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
Another week has flown by, and it’s time for the must-read articles and news highlights. This week, I’m putting a spotlight on FUJI PCB and FS Quality, through an interview by Dan Beaulieu with President Tianming Liu, and “the rest of the story” from the EIPC Summer Conference technical sessions. I’m also focusing on a new marketing book by Brittany Martin, and there’s rarely a week when we don’t talk about AI, so I also chose Sean Patterson’s most recent practical advice for PCB fabricators. Though the U.S. has placed a “stay” on CMMC Level 2 certification, it’s still coming for you and your business. If you work in the Mil/Aero space in the U.S., check out what Omega EMS has done to accelerate its compliance. Their wisdom may be worth your time.

From studying and working in Japan for more than a decade to transforming a struggling PCB factory into a profitable operation before launching FUJI PCB, he has shown vision, determination, and continuous innovation.

For Kristin Moyer, designing display electronics is all about scale. As displays shrink in size and grow in resolution, every engineering decision becomes more demanding. In this interview, the Global Electronics Association design instructor explains the strengths and limitations of today’s dominant display technologies—LCD and LED—as well as the emerging role of AR/VR displays. Kristin also explores the PCB design, manufacturability, and reliability challenges that accompany each.
