FPC flip phones become indispensable components

Release date:2022-02-14

Direction of folding mobile phone has been regarded as an industry, this year as manufacturers such as huawei, huawei, samsung, soft woo has been officially released the folding screens, millet, OPPO and vivo manufacturer also took out a folding screen mobile phone related prototype. Folding phones first year has been open. The FPC with light weight and thin thickness, good bending etc, flip phones become indispensable components. The FPC application in the smart phone also faces many technical difficulties, it will become the focus of the current vendors need to conquer.

FPC has a thin, flexible, winding, folding, wiring the characteristics of high density, perfectly fit the development of lightweight, miniaturization, melody, in recent years become a PCB (printed circuit board) segmenting the industry leader. Experts say now in terms of FPC, it's not difficult to realize the flexible screen, mainly lies in the display screen and PCB board and this, to achieve the fold-down PCB will also need a long development process, there is a big challenge to electronic material.

FPC is mainly used in mobile terminals, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial control, medical, aerospace, military, etc. One of the biggest mobile terminals such as FPC application field, especially smart phones, also the most demanding field, FPC technology ability will also lead the FPC technology development direction in the future. Will lead to the development trend of miniaturization, intelligent flexible mobile phone become a trend in the future.

Folding, cohesion and use multiple folding screen for FPC, the experts also puts forward the solutions. In flexible screen mobile phone, the need to use many times and a lot of folding, accordingly to the requirement of mobile phone inside the flexible circuit board will be higher, the corresponding use area will further increase. But FPC manufacture process, by the intermittent method usually be restrictions on the size of production equipment, in order to solve this problem, experts say can be extended through intermediate outlet, FPC pull gold finger for reinforcement.

Currently on soft plate and the linkage between the board and main board, the process and technology are making soft hard couple, about the size problem, now in the industry or the hard and soft soft board combined with plate are using 250 mm wide material, at the same time also began to try to use 500 mm width of the material.

FPC used in mobile phones increase will be established trends, it also makes the FPC market trend is good. But FPC still faces a manufacturing problems, such as the application of the folding screen mobile phone in a big size, have the corresponding solution of these problems, of course, but these solutions are inevitably brings the increase of cost. And how to better control the FPC cost, can only rely on production or upgrade technology to solve.
