Flexible electronics is a science and manufacturing technology of the emerging field and makes electronic equipment can carry in the adaptation of the plastics substrate. Flexible electronics industry in other large area or miniature electronic, organic electronic, plastic electronics, printing electronic similar, is the product of market demand, in order to meet global demand to be lighter, smaller, less power consumption of the electronic product requirements and intrade. Because these equipment more and more requirements in the impact resistance, cost effective make, can bend sex, integration and portability, so that combined with the fabric and packaging materials.
And flexible electronics market is still in its infancy, all sorts of new applications are by universities, research institutes and high-tech enterprise research. This technology is many fields looking for application, including military, the computer, aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer products, the application of various industry is more and more common. Flexible electronic major end use, including electronic display screen, photoelectricity, sensor, lighting and logical/storage application.
Flexible electronic products or electronic circuit can according to the requirements by drawing, bending, enabling users to expand the scope of application of rigid circuit, support more features. Through the appropriate process flow, electronic components cost will reduce, to realize efficient manufacturing, and integrated application of rigid parts of custom, industry is expected to further development.
The asia-pacific region is the largest and fastest growing flexible circuit board of the region, more flexible electronics new market research report, which accounts for a large share of the global market. The Asian market fast growth in countries with mainland China, Taiwan, India, South Korea and other market, predicts 2018 expanding into the compound annual growth rate of 38% or more above. According to the classification of products, electronic display screen in the world market of flexible circuit's biggest market, at present the main used for mobile phones and MP3, is expected to will soon be on the TV screen applications, replace CRT and liquid crystal displays. The pv-tech application targeted mainly at low cost and demand and have potential applications, including roof board and intelligent fabric.
