SMTA and CALCE Seeking Abstracts for LED Symposium
April 13, 2016 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SMTA and CALCE are pleased to announce the LED Assembly, Reliability, and Test (A.R.T.) Symposium will take place from November 29 to December 1, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia.
The LED Assembly, Reliability & Testing (A.R.T.) Symposium will provide attendees with information to bridge the gap between the semiconductor physics and the architectural design level issues in LED supply chain. The design, manufacturing, reliability assessment, testing and inspection of LEDs and LED lighting products are not at the same level of development and interest. The LED A.R.T. Symposium is the forum for the industry to explore the problems faced and offer solutions.
The topics of interest include but not limited to:
- LED Assembly
- LED Failure Mechanisms
- LED Packaging
- Applications
- Reliability and Testing
- Package and Board Cleaning
- Architectural/Smart Lighting
- UV and IR LEDs
- Wearable Sensors-LEDS
- LED Driver System
