Board level vibration test method of components for automotive electronics: State-of-the-art approaches and challenges

Board level vibration testing is intended to assess prediction of the reliability of solder joint interconnects that are formed between electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCB). Frailties in the stress test experiment might lead to false board level reliability (BLR) evaluations. Therefore, it is essential to have a well...

Progress in Understanding Color Maintenance in Solid-State Lighting Systems

In this paper, progresses of color maintenance, also known as color shift, in solid-state lighting (SSL) systems are thoroughly reviewed. First, color shift is introduced and a few examples are given from different real-life industrial conditions. Different degradation mechanisms in different parts of the system are also explained. Different...
