For the mobile market, some PCB assemblies have been converted to flex circuit assemblies, in part because flex circuit assemblies can be twisted or bent to meet the needs of the application.

Flexible PCBs have become increasingly common in both commercial devices and DIY projects, but Panasonic’s new stretchable, clear substrate for electrical circuits called Beyolex takes things a step ...

Stratos Optical Technologies now offers increased packaging density as a custom manufacturing option for its optical flex circuit products (see figure). The new optical flex circuit design is called ...

Researchers have overcome a major obstacle in producing transistors from networks of carbon nanotubes, a technology that could make it possible to print circuits on plastic sheets for applications ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

The world of electronics is full of clever designs and ICs, but they are mostly non-flexible and rigid implementations of the engineer’s circuit idea. This is typically not very conducive to many of ...

With the introduction of Pyralux High Temperature (HT) flexible circuit material systems, flexible circuits will make their debut in high-temperature applications. It could lead to major changes for ...
