Off the topic of metal core boards and onto rigid and flex boards:
The IPC releases some information on the PCB industry for April 2011 compared to April 2010:
- Rigid PCB shipments are up just 0.8% (for the YTD, up ~5%)
- Flex PCB shipments are up a whopping 7.2%
This data just goes to show the huge increases in use for high technology boards over standard (soon to be called old technology) boards. Flex boards, rigid flex and metal core boards are becoming more and more commonplace in applications.

LED Circuit Boards
LED lights are primarily connected through the circuit board for display in many applications.
These boards can be custom done flex PCBs or standard FR4 rigid boards. Flex boards are often used to get the lights in the correct positioning as they can be adjusted during the bending and flexing process to fit virtually any design shape.
Modern LEDs, in general, are assembled to the board using surface mount technology, or SMT. The LEDs as well as all other SMT components are bonded directly to the pads so no holes are required in the circuit board.
