The end of 2014 is upon us and organizations are getting ready to unveil their product lines for the next year. Consumers are anxiously waiting to see the new technology that will debut and how companies are improving upon their existing offerings in order to create something different. What can be expected of a printed circuit board, and what do engineers need to focus on as we prepare to lift the curtain on 2015? Some exciting trends to watch in the industry include:
Portable Devices with Extended Capabilities – Tablets and smartphones will continue to earn market share due to their ability to replace household items that consumers use. Look for new tablets on the market to be sold as personal televisions that people can take anywhere. With more storage space and faster processing and components, tablets truly help people cut the cord and do what they want when they want.
Even Smaller Applications for PCBs – Not only will devices get smarter can deliver more content for consumers, organizations that rely on electronic equipment will see a size reduction without a loss of quality. Medical offices, manufacturing plants and research labs will all benefit from smaller machines that work to improve productivity and accuracy.
PCBs Get More Complex – As devices get smaller and faster, their PCBs must adapt. Engineers and circuit board manufacturers will develop new ways to effectively design and produce PCBs that power more components and work as needed in high-stress environments.

Get Started on Your Printed Circuit Board

The first thing that engineers, students and hobbyists must do to stay ahead of the curve is work to develop and improve the printed circuit board they rely on to advance their own projects. This starts with the design phase and continues through material selection, testing and implementation. Contact an expert at Advanced Circuits today for more information.

PCB and Tech Trends for 2014 /blog/pcb-and-tech-trends-for-2014/ /blog/pcb-and-tech-trends-for-2014/#respond Wed, 26 Feb 2014 18:05:23 +0000 http://dev.4pcb.com/blog/?p=314 Continue reading ]]> printed circuit boards trendsWith the New Year finally here it is time to take a look at the tech industry as a whole and start to project what the biggest trends will be in 2014. As we saw at the end of 2013, consumer electronics will undoubtedly continue to grow in terms of power and functionality. As such, printed circuit boards and PCB manufacturers are expanding their capabilities to give the world technology it has never seen before. Consumers in 2014 can expect larger tablets to be announced and higher resolutions coming to all of their devices, televisions included. Both the Winter Olympics and the FIFA World Cup will be filmed in 4K, the Ultra HD resolution that is already in trial stages in South Korea. Wearable technology will also get more sophisticated this year as watches, glasses and other items gain the ability to monitor and track vital information that is important to us. Whether it is with new devices hitting the market or technologies and processes that allow us to get the most out of our lives, 2014 appears to be another giant step forward for the industry.

Role of the PCB in Future Smartphones

In addition to helping smartphones incorporate all of the features that consumers want, printed circuit boards are also helping usher in all of the design changes in the field. As the PCB continues to pack more power in a smaller space, smartphones will likely get smaller in size. Industry experts predict that smartphones will be strictly composed of PCBs bonded together as a plastic block in order to make the device thinner, lighter, flexible and connector-less. At any rate, it is safe to say that circuit board designers and manufacturers hold the key to the future of smartphone design and capability.
