AIM LED/MiniLED & Display Solutions

The advent of ultra-miniature LED technology is revolutionizing component assembly, demanding a reimagining of traditional SMT techniques. AIM, at the forefront of this transformation, collaborates with industry partners to develop cutting-edge materials and practices for miniLED assembly. The key challenge lies in the scale, with tens of thousands of tiny components requiring precise placement and reflow on a single display panel at rapid production speeds.

Revolutionizing LED Assembly with AIM Innovation 

• AIM LUX line: Products specifically designed for LED assemblies
• NC259FPA No Clean Solder Paste: Engineered for ultra-fine pitch printing on high-density <100-micron components
• Lead-free alloys: Available in micromesh powder sizes (T6, T7)
• H10 Halogen-Free No Clean Solder Paste: Excellent SIR performance eliminating dendritic growth potential

Major competitors in the display market today fit into two categories: OLED and LCD. The main difference between OLED and LCD components is that OLED pixels illuminate independently while LCDs illuminate using a direct LED backlight. The backlight of LCDs causes the blackest blacks to still appear greyish, while OLED pixels shut off completely. AIM’s R&D understands the challenges faced in the field, which helps keep us on the cutting-edge of product development.

Elevating Displays: From OLED to Mini and Micro LEDs 

• Local Dimming Innovation: Achieving superior contrast in LCDs with Mini LED and local dimming zones
• Micro LED Advantages: Inorganic compounds, lower power consumption, and no burn-in risk
• AIM’s LUX Line: Cutting-edge products for LED assembly, establishing global leadership in T6 solder paste supply.

The automotive industry maintains some of the strictest reliability standards since their products are exposed to extreme temperature changes, humidity, sunlight, and vibration. AIM is an ideal partner in the high reliability and automotive lighting industry. Our products have been developed to perform in harsh environments and our technical support engineers are prepared to solve the challenges posed by LED, miniLED and microLED implementation in high reliability and automotive assemblies.
