What does FPC mean in LCD?

09.25.2023

FPC is Flexible Printed Circuit Board, or soft board for short. It is made of soft plastic backing, copper foil and adhesive lamination. It has flexibility and reliability.

LCD LCD FPC liner, FPC by function, can be divided into many kinds, such as FPC antenna, FPC touch screen, FPC capacitive screen, FPC liner is one of them, in layman's terms, FPC liner is the connection line.

The composition of the FPC line FPC line because it is a kind of FPC, therefore, its composition and the composition of the FPC is the same. FPC is generally long, the two ends are designed to be pluggable pin, can be directly connected to the connector or soldered to the product.

There are two ways to connect FPC using LCD products:

One is welding, which is more troublesome;

There is also a plug-in type, this is relatively simple, are widely used by LCD manufacturers, FPC cable used in the surface treatment process is generally sunken gold, strong adhesion, good binding properties, good ductility. Plug-in FPC requires the use of electroplating process, due to the electroplating process requires each copper skin on the FPC needs to be electroplated, so there can not be islands of copper; if indeed can not be avoided and the need to use the electroplating process, the last hole in the link line cut off; chemical gold: good adhesion, good uniformity, can not bind, easy to crack, no special requirements for the alignment.
