Flexible printed circuit (FPC), also known as flexible circuit board and flexible circuit board, is a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film. It has a unique place with high density of wiring, light weight, thin thickness and free bending and folding, which is popular. We have previously introduced several typical applications of FPC at the initial stage. Interested readers can go over and read it:


FPC flexible board occupies an important position in the direction of transportation electronics, consumer electronics, intelligent wear and so on because of its unique and special properties. In addition, what other areas can FPC be applied to? Today, let's carefully understand its application in PC products, medical devices, industrial control facilities and electronic tools.


1. PCB products

According to the figures of authoritative institutions, the annual sales volume of PCs around the world has been rising continuously, and has basically stabilized in recent years, reaching more than 160 million units.

There are many types of FPC involved in PC, as shown in the following figure. For example, the camera module, capacitor screen connection part, button part, optical drive induction head, receiving antenna and other parts of PC have the shadow of FPC circuit board.

2. Medical products

According to the foresight Industry Research Institute, the world medical device market reached 425 billion US dollars in 2018 and nearly 446.3 billion US dollars in 2019.

The traditional products of gastroscope circuit board are limited by the unique experience and rigidity of circuit board bending. The catheter can not be used for the operation of the person who holds the post of medical affairs. However, the gastroscope with FPC flexible board is considered suitable for its better bending and flexure performance, and has passed the application verification for years.

The transfer line on the medical facilities screen and medical facilities screen is mostly FPC flexible board, not only on medical facilities, but most of the transfer lines on the screen are considered suitable and FPC flexible board is used. This is a great affirmation of the special nature of flexure of the flexible board.

The application of medical facilities button and FPC flexible board on the button is also large-scale board type. The medical buttons and other buttons have a great test on the product sensitivity.

The research on logo electricity of rhythm debugger and FPC flexible board is very close. In the modern era with the development of medical standards, the junction of electronic devices and human body is more and more widespread, such as heart bridge, electronic so on.

B-ultrasonic head circuit board, B-ultrasonic is to penetrate the human body with super strong signal flow to carry out a perspective on the human body. FPC flexible board with electronic components can correctly carry out signal transmission, and can adjust the signal frequency to the level that one person wants to achieve, so the transmission of signal and video files can be successfully realized.

The medical hearing aid, the product has been exposed earlier, but the traditional hearing aids, except for the difference between the volume number of the hearing and the opening, still have some deficiencies in the transmission of the telex channel, and often there will be noise in the inside. The hearing aids which are considered suitable and use FPC flexible board are especially good in the ear fitting, and are flex and not easy to use.

With the convenience of medical diagnosis, FPC flexible board can achieve the flexion and small scale successfully, which is convenient for this product.

3. Industrial control facilities

According to the industrial control market value in 2018 announced by CCID Consulting, the scale of China's industrial control market reached 179.7 billion yuan in 2018, an increase of 8.5% year-on-year. It is estimated that the average growth rate in the next three years will be 12% and 100%, and the market scale is expected to reach 260 billion yuan in 2021.

The application of FPC in industrial control facilities reveals the screen, intelligent buttons, bendable mechanical devices and other parts everywhere.


4. Electronic tool products

FPC is widely used in tool products as well as new electronic tools. The new portable electronic tools are quite different from traditional tools and have more functions such as roughly similar display, button, touch and modification. Among these tools with electronic functions, FPC is widely used because of its special properties of supporting miniaturization, playing and flexion.

Of course, the application of FPC continues far from stopping. In the contemporary era of rapid progress in science and technology, it has been spread in almost all aspects of our survival, and more FPC products will be exposed in our survival in the future. The products derived from industries such as smart home, Internet, intelligent medical treatment and artificial intelligence will be widely considered appropriate, and FPC flexible board will be used as its central component to lead the market of miniaturized, playful and flexible products.

The industrial level flexible electronic printing service launched by dreamink enterprise can provide a new solution for FPC mass production and production, and satisfy the needs of "high speed, low cost, super flexibility, pollution free" and other aspects. FPC cost produced by this process has super bending resistance. When R angle is less than 5mm, the number of bends can be achieved successfully up to 50000 to 100000 times, far beyond the market level so far.

As a flexible circuit board, a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film. It has a unique place with high density of wiring, light weight, thin thickness and free bending and folding, which is favored by insiders.

FPC flexible board occupies a leading position in vehicle electronics, consumer electronics, intelligent wear and other directions because of its unique and special properties. In addition, what other areas can FPC be applied to? In addition to being applied to PC products, medical devices, industrial control facilities and electronic tools, is it possible to be applied to other emerging industries?
