'''LED film''', also called '''LED-embedded light film'''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/01/0128_material/19.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081228042820/http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/01/0128_material/19.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 28, 2008|title=Businessweek - Bloomberg|publisher=}}</ref> is a new technology of [[Surface-mount technology|surface-mount]] [[light-emitting diode]]s (LEDs) on flexible [[transparent conducting film|transparent conductive polymer films]]. This technology is based on the use of a cold curing pick-and-place process on transparent conductive plastics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sun-tec.ch/downloads/gpd2009shavit.pdf|title=  Download Article: D.

==Applications==
Products such as LED-embedded glass and LED headliner are possible with this technology. Companies like Glassdecor realized projects with LED films for LED glass tables and big LED logos containing more than 600 LEDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glassdecor.fr/fr/led/table-avec-insertion-de-leds_14.htm|title=Miroiterie d'art, Fabrication Pose Vitrage Garde-corps feuilleté Sablage, Gravure sur verre|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121201015317/http://www.glassdecor.fr/fr/led/table-avec-insertion-de-leds_14.htm|archive-date=2012-12-01}}</ref> The LED film technology is usually used for glass products that have to be laminated for safety reasons, like laminated LED glass tables and LED glass logo doors.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUWuBt6IIbA|title=Verre feuilleté avec incorporation de leds lumineuses - Miroiterie Righetti|last=Miroiterievideo|date=19 December 2011|publisher=|via=YouTube}}</ref>
A similar technology uses conductive coating on glass, ''e.g.'', powerglass®.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glas-platz.de/powerglass/en/technologie.html|title=powerglass - technology|publisher=}}</ref> Glass with embedded LEDs is even also used for media façades.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baunetzwissen.de/standardartikel/Fassade-Medienfassade-mit-intergrierten-Leuchtdioden_1516613.html|title=Artikel of Baunetzwissen about realised Media Facade of Subaru Building|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120811053826/http://www.baunetzwissen.de/standardartikel/Fassade-Medienfassade-mit-intergrierten-Leuchtdioden_1516613.html|archive-date=2012-08-11}}</ref> [[Baluster|Balustrades]] have been realized in the airport of [[Dubai]] with powerglass.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.archello.com/en/project/powerglass%C2%AE-balustrades-dubai-airport|title=Peter Platz Spezialglas GmbH - Project - powerglass® balustrades / Dubai Airport|publisher=}}</ref>
