Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) technology is an emerging technology that utilizes a laser beam to directly transfer image or text information from a computer to photosensitive materials such as photoresists or photosensitive polymers. It can achieve highly flexible and automated manufacturing processes. LDI technology has the advantages of high precision, high resolution, high efficiency, and high reliability, making it widely used in semiconductor manufacturing and electronic equipment manufacturing.

Laser direct imaging equipment (hereinafter referred to as "LDI equipment") mainly consists of lasers, scanning systems, and computer control systems. The laser generates a high-energy and high-precision laser beam, and the scanning system moves the laser beam to the desired position as required. The computer control system is responsible for controlling the switch and movement of the laser beam, as well as the entire imaging process. LDI equipment is typically used to manufacture high-precision, high-resolution electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, etc.

Due to the continuous popularization of LDI technology and the expansion of downstream application fields, the global LDI equipment market has steadily grown. According to our research data, the total revenue of the global LDI equipment market is expected to reach $327.65 million in 2023. From the perspective of downstream application patterns, the field of multilayer PCB is the largest downstream application market for LDI equipment. Data shows that the application revenue of LDI equipment in the field of multilayer PCB is estimated to reach $123.31 million in 2023, and the market share is expected to reach 37.63%.
