With the continuous upgrading of downstream consumer electronics products, the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) industry has maintained rapid development in recent years. FPC continues most of the design elements of rigid printed circuit boards, and on this basis, there are many advantages that hard printed circuit boards do not have. It has the advantages of high wiring density, thin thickness, light weight, less wiring space limitation, foldability, flexibility, etc., and can be moved and retracted freely in three-dimensional space to achieve the integration of component assembly and wire connection. It is widely used Small space, portable, collapsible electronic information products of various types, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, digital cameras and hard disk, optical drives, mobile storage and other PC accessories market. Because of the structural adjustment brought about by the upgrading of these product technologies and consumption upgrades, the growth trend will continue to be maintained in the future, which will also drive the development of the FPC market.

1. Application of flexible printed circuit board (FPC) in computers: 

Laptops are a major growth driver in the FPC market. At present, each laptop needs approximately 8 FPCs, such as a CD-ROM connection motherboard, a LCD screen hinge connection motherboard, a hard disk connection motherboard, a floppy disk connection motherboard, and a switch connection. Motherboard and keyboard are connected to the motherboard.

2. Application of Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPC) in Mobile Phones: 

With the development of the Internet, mobile phones have become a necessity in our daily lives, and flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are an integral part of mobile phones. In general, each cell phone requires about six cells. FPC, such as the motherboard connected to the display, like the head to connect the motherboard, clamshell phone flip part of the connection to the motherboard, rotary phone rotating parts to connect the motherboard, LED light source, press the keyboard, etc., the most recent mobile phone replacement, visible FPC in the phone The market for applications is very broad.

3. Application of flexible printed circuit board (FPC) in displays: 

LCD TVs and high growth products in the consumer electronics market. The amount of FPC required is also very large, from the FPC amount of view, the current FPC usage of a liquid crystal display is about 2 to 4, mainly for liquid crystal panels and liquid crystal modules. Plasma displays have a greater use of FPCs. At present, each plasma display requires about 20 FPCs.

In addition, PC accessories such as digital cameras, hard drives, optical drives, and mobile storage are the main growth drivers for the FPC market; the application and development of LED lamps will also drive the development of FPC. At present, each digital camera needs to use about 2 to 4 FPCs, and both digital cameras using CMOS or CCD imaging technology need to use FPC, so the digital camera will be a trend that will greatly replace traditional cameras in the future. One of the important downstream applications for FPC products. PC accessories such as hard drives, optical drives, and removable storage (such as U-disks) all rely on FPC's high flexibility and ultra-thin characteristics to complete rapid data selection. The steady growth of the PC accessory market in the future will drive the demand for FPCs.

It can be seen that the market prospects for flexible printed circuit board (FPC) development are very broad.
