Why is the demand for FPC soft boards increasing?

Due to the hardness of traditional hard board materials, it cannot adapt to the development of miniaturization, high-density, and lightweight electronic products, and is also an important material for connecting three-dimensional circuit structures. Therefore, it is highly favored in the design of electronic products.



In consumer electronics, smart phones have a large demand for FPC software boards, and batteries, screens, camera modules and other hardware need to use FPC software boards.



The FPC soft board mainly has the following advantages:



1. It has a high degree of flexibility and can reduce the volume of the product, changing its shape according to space limitations;



2. Capable of three-dimensional wiring and foldable winding, which is beneficial for product design and can reduce assembly time and errors;



3. Stable chemical performance, can improve the product's service life, prevent static interference, and be safe and reliable;



4. It has the characteristics of high and low temperature resistance, flame resistance, good heat dissipation performance, multiple functions, and low cost;



5. It can achieve miniaturization, thinness, and lightweight, in line with the development characteristics of electronic products, and can achieve the integration of component devices and wire connections.



In the era of full screen smartphones, the application of display panels mainly featuring LCD/OLED and AMOLED screens, as well as the use of virtual buttons instead of physical buttons, and the application of off screen fingerprint recognition solutions, have greatly increased the usage of FPC software boards in mobile phones.



The FPC soft board has to some extent saved the internal space of smartphones, making the assembly and processing inside the phones more flexible. With the release of foldable screen phones, the usage and value of FPC soft boards are also increasing with the expansion of foldable screen screens. The usage and value of FPC soft boards in a single phone are constantly increasing.



The newly emerging intelligent wearable devices, such as smart bracelets, smartwatches, and smart glasses, also require the use of FPC soft boards. The application of FPC soft boards in VR glasses has reached as many as nine. The small and flexible nature of FPC soft boards is highly compatible with intelligent wearable devices.



The development of wearable products will also significantly drive the demand for FPC soft boards, resulting in a faster growth rate of FPC soft boards.



FPC soft board has excellent characteristics and broad market development space. For the quality, material, and performance of FPC soft board, it is beneficial to improve the manufacturing technology of FPC soft board and reduce material loss and environmental pollution.
