Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Porotech Leads the 'One-Stop AR Solution Alliance' Joining Forces with Foxconn and Industry Partners
May 12, 2025 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At SID Display Week 2025, the world's premier display industry event, Porotech proudly leads the "One-Stop AR Solution Alliance" alongside key partners Foxconn, Rayprus, GIS, and Jorjin with a grand showcase at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.
This joint exhibition will present a comprehensive, one-stop AR solution spanning materials, optical engines, optical modules, AR glasses full system assembly, and mass production—propelling AR technologies from innovation to commercial reality.
Porotech Leads the Charge to Build the World's Most Complete AR Supply Chain
As the alliance's core technology leader, Porotech has pioneered the industry's first 8-inch platform designed specifically for MicroLED applications. It achieved a breakthrough pixel pitch of just 1.25μm, demonstrating the boundless potential of GaN-on-Si MicroLED technology.
As part of its drive toward commercialization, Porotech has announced the launch of its latest red LED innovation — SpectraCore™. Not only offering 5 times the brightness of any other conventional red emitters, SpectraCore™ also features an ultra-narrow emission spectrum and exceptional color purity. More excitingly, the wavelength remains remarkably stable under all driving conditions, showcasing superior thermal stability and long-term reliability.
With this achievement, Porotech has overcome one of the biggest barriers to full-color MicroLED displays: the performance and stability of red emitters. By leveraging its proprietary 8-inch wafer platform to ensure scalable mass production, Porotech is laying the essential groundwork for full-color near-eye displays and marking a critical step forward in the commercialization of MicroLED technology.
InGaN Red addresses longstanding challenges in microdisplay technologies. Traditional AlInGaP-based red LEDs have faced issues with low efficiency and poor reliability, hindering their adoption in consumer electronics.
Porotech, the first company to commercialize InGaN-based red LEDs in 2021, shattered this technological barrier. InGaN red LEDs deliver superior efficiency and reliability, with optoelectronic properties closely aligned with InGaN blue and green materials — enabling seamless platform integration.
However, technical challenges like wavelength drift, broad emission linewidth, and limited color purity have persisted.
With SpectraCore, Porotech once again leads the industry by launching an InGaN red LED that excels in brightness, efficiency, and color purity. This LED injects new momentum into AR microdisplay applications and advances full-color microled realization.
At SID Display Week 2025, Porotech will demonstrate its comprehensive vertical integration capabilities across the MicroLED ecosystem—from material innovation, wafer processing, Chip-on-Carrier (COC), Chip-on-Wafer (COW), LED chip fabrication, and final panel applications—solidifying its critical role as a catalyst for MicroLED commercialization.
Together with its alliance partners, Porotech will unveil the blueprint for next-generation AR display technologies, setting a new global benchmark.
