Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are making a profound impact on electronic design, ushering in smaller, lighter, and increasingly functional devices that would otherwise be difficult, if not ...

Flex circuits do all of this well, but first you need a technology that allows you to manufacture circuits that are as long as a wing.

What does flexible circuit actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

Flexible printed circuit manufacturing process is a complicated one. Multilayer flex refers to flexible circuits with three or even more layers of conductors. These circuits are difficult to make ...

Flexible printed circuits change shape to squeeze in where ordinary boards can't. Smaller electronic footprints are the rule today. Cellular phones and personal entertainment players are perhaps ...

Space savings, greater reliability, low mass, and high ductility are some of the advantages offered by flexible PCBs, but designers must also prepare for their complexity. Flexible printed circuit ...

Flexible circuits have been around longer than you might expect, although they only recently rounded the bend and bounced into the hobbyist’s toolbox. When Boldport fanatic [Laura Lindzey] found ...

In the last ten years, the technology for manufacturing lightweight, flexible PCBs has made huge progress. Lightweight flex circuits are usually associated with materials like Kapton. The use of those ...

Researchers from China have come up with a way to print high-conductivity graphene traces: an attractive component in flexible circuits.
