Flex circuit: FPC

In my previous article, there is detailed information about FPC’s application for wearable devices, so how about other applications? Let’s see them today.

With the expansion of smart phone, laptop, LED TV, ultra-thin laptop, consumer electronics tends to be smaller, more accurate and wearable, which makes flexible circuits gain more attention in electronics industry.

Now we focus on Flex PCB application:

For civil use:

①mobile phones:

②laptops:

③sensors:

People pay more attentions to health, more and more flexible circuits are applied in wearable devices with medical function;

For industry use:

①medical devices

The demands for FPC in medical devices will increase but still cover small proportion, cause this kind of flexible pcb board should be more reliable like polyimide pcbs in new monitoring instrument, diagnostic apparatus, cameras and so on.

②Automotive electronics and instruments

Flexible printed circuit is widely used in automotive GPS devices, sensor system and ECU, and it will increase more rapidly with the development of car market.

③Military and aviation

In these application, FPC circuits should be super reliable to satisfy the definite requirements. There is no doubt, if a flex pcb manufacturer can fabricate some products like these, the capability is acceptable for most other clients.

In a word, we are very optimistic about the development and future of flexible circuit, at same time, we should pay more attention to improving the level of capability. FPC can create a different electronic world in the near future!
