Rui Hing quick introduction to the industry chain analysis of /fpc related features

Flexible circuit board, also known as "soft plate", that is, FPC board, is a printed circuit made of flexible insulating substrate. In recent years, the soft circuit structure is obviously important. Compared with the hard circuit structure, the soft structure has many advantages:

1) flexible circuits provide excellent electrical performance to meet the needs of smaller and higher density installation, which can greatly reduce the volume and weight of electronic products, and apply electronic products to the needs of high density, miniaturization and high reliability. Therefore, FPC board has been widely used in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptop computers, computer peripherals, PDA, digital cameras and other fields or products.

2) soft printed circuit boards can be distributed in three degrees space, and the limitations of the outer space can be changed so as to achieve the integration of component assembly and wire connection.

3) in the case of high production capacity, soft circuit combined with the improvement of manufacturing process efficiency can reduce production costs. Unlike the PCB industry chain, the upstream of the FPC industry chain includes FCCL manufacturers and PI/PET film, calendering copper foil and other raw materials suppliers, not affected by the price fluctuation of electrolytic copper foil. At present, FPC is mainly used in mobile intelligent devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
