What is LED PCB?
LED PCB (Light Emitting Diode Printed Circuit Board) is a specialized type of metal core PCB (MCPCB) designed specifically for LED applications. Unlike standard FR-4 PCBs, LED PCBs use a metal base substrate — typically aluminum or copper — to efficiently dissipate heat generated by high-power LEDs. The structure consists of three main layers:
- Circuit layer (copper foil with LED circuits)
- Thermal conductive dielectric layer (insulating but thermally conductive material)
- Metal base layer (aluminum or copper for heat spreading).
In 2026, with the explosive growth of automotive LED lighting, smart city LED street lights, horticultural LED grow lights, and Mini/Micro LED displays, LED PCB technology has advanced to support thermal conductivity up to 8.0 W/m·K and multi-layer hybrid designs combining FR-4 + metal core for complex LED driver circuit
