Intelligent products expand the market space of FPC softboard

With the rapid development of electronic devices represented by smart phones towards miniaturization, FPC soft circuit boards have become increasingly popular in applications. The excellent characteristics have gradually expanded the application of FPC soft boards to new energy vehicles, GPS devices, LCD displays, radio devices, entertainment devices, smart watches, smart bracelets, VR helmets, sensors, and other devices. With the increasing application of sensor technology and the gradual penetration of new energy vehicles, the continuous innovation of highly intelligent wearable products has further expanded the market space of FPC softboard.



1. The innovation of smart phones has pushed the use and development of FPC soft boards to a new height. The arrival of the era of full-screen smart phones has driven the rearrangement and trend of the FPC industry chain. The wide range of applications of its flexible LED screens has greatly boosted the demand for FPC flexible circuit boards. In addition, the off-screen fingerprint identification scheme for smart phones has driven the development of FPC soft boards towards the direction of double-layer ultra-thin and ultra-narrow.



The development trend of automation, electrification, and networking for new energy vehicles is breeding new opportunities and development in the high-performance FPC soft board market. At the same time, the continuous increase in the proportion of automotive electronics costs not only promotes the development of specialized FPC manufacturers, but also brings new growth momentum to reputable FPC manufacturers, and also promotes a significant increase in their output value.



The continuous innovation of intelligent wearable products has led to the lightweight development of FPC soft boards. The high degree of compatibility between high-end FPC and wearable devices has further increased the demand and development of FPC soft boards. At present, a large number of FPC soft boards are used in smart watches and smart glasses, such as about 9 FPCs in PSVR. The rise of wearable markets, especially VR and AR technologies, will greatly stimulate the demand for lightweight FPCs.



It can be seen that whether it is a small smart phone, a large car, or a portable wearable device, its innovative terminal products today are driving the market scale of FPC soft boards to continuously expand. In the future, FPC soft boards will continue to develop towards miniaturization and lightweight consumer electronics, and the market scale will further expand.
