Doosan Co., Ltd. announced on the 11th that it is moving to secure new customers in the European market, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators and high-performance copper-clad laminates (CCL) for optical modules.
Doosan is participating in 'Electronica 2026,' Europe's largest electronic components and systems exhibition, held from the 10th to the 13th in Munich, Germany, showcasing electronic materials and components used in AI data centers, semiconductor packaging, and automotive electronics. Approximately 3,500 companies from about 60 countries are participating in this year's exhibition.
The flagship products highlighted by Doosan are high-performance CCLs used in AI accelerators and optical modules. CCL is a core material for printed circuit boards (PCBs), which constitute the circuits of electronic devices, and affects data transmission speed and signal stability.
CCLs for AI accelerators and optical modules feature low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss characteristics that reduce signal loss during high-speed data transmission. Optical modules are components that exchange data between servers using light signals and are used for high-speed communication in AI data centers. As the data processing speed of AI servers increases, it becomes necessary to minimize signal loss generated in the circuits, thereby increasing the technical importance of high-performance copper-clad laminates.
Doosan is also introducing patterned flat cables (PFC) applied to electric vehicle battery systems. A PFC is a component made by coating a flexible copper-clad laminate (FCCL), on which circuits are formed, with an insulating film. The company explained that this can reduce weight and volume by more than 80% compared to conventional copper wire methods, contributing to vehicle lightweighting and cost reduction. Doosan has also secured technology to produce PFCs of 2.5 meters in length by applying the Roll-to-Roll process. It is also exhibiting a 5G antenna module that applies beamforming technology, which focuses signals in a specific direction for transmission and reception.
A Doosan official said, "We will reflect market trends and customer requirements identified on-site into product development and continue discussions to secure new customers."
