Flexible PCB for Mobile Phone Camera
Product Description
Flexible PCB for Mobile Phone Camera, Camera Flexible PCB Board
The development of the consumer electronics and communication industry is the basis of the demand growth of the FPC flexible circuit board. Demand for lightweight products such as mobile phones and tablets has led to an increase in FPC market space. FPC is a flexible printed circuit board. In the evolution of intelligent and lightweight mobile electronic products, FPC has been widely used because of its advantages of high density, lightweight, thin thickness, bending resistance, flexible structure and high-temperature resistance. The application structure of PCB products has changed accordingly. The proportion of flexible circuit boards, HDI PCB and packaging substrates with high technology content is gradually increasing.
The printed circuit board is the basic component of the smartphone. Taking FPC as an example, it can be used in various parts of mobile phones, such as display driver, touch screen, vibrator, camera, etc. The average use of FPC for a single smartphone can reach 10-15 pieces. In recent years, with the popularity of smartphones, the demand for FPC has steadily increased. At the same time, the demand for functional integration of smartphones is growing. More functional modules make the average number of FPC required by a single smartphone increasing.
Flexible PCB is widely used in mobile phones, especially smartphones. It can be divided into FPC for camera, FPC for module, FPC for battery, FPC for capacitive screen, FPC for keypad, FPC for antenna, etc.
As Apple continues to introduce new models of mobile phones, the use of FPC on a single machine is also increasing. The increase in FPC usage in Apple products can not only directly provide a large number of orders to FPC suppliers, but also stimulate the input of Android manufacturers. With the increasingly powerful functions of smartphones, their innovative points are decreasing and shipments are also decreasing. Foldability will be one of the important elements to generate new demand for mobile phones in the future. At present, Huawei, Samsung, and other manufacturers are actively developing foldable mobile phones. However, it is not enough to fold a mobile phone only with a foldable screen, and foldable internal components are also one of the necessary conditions, of which the foldable printed circuit board is the most important. FPC flexible circuit board as the core component will usher in new development opportunities. In the future, we are expected to see more and more FPCs appearing in various brands of intelligent terminals, thus driving the growth of the entire FPC industry chain.
Characteristics of Flexible Circuit Board
1. Shorten assembly time
2. Less volume than Rigid PCB
It can effectively reduce the volume of the product and make it more convenient to carry.
3. Weight lighter than Rigid PCB
It can reduce the weight of the final product.
4. Thickness is thinner than rigid PCB
It can improve the assembly ability in limited space.
Advantages of Flexible Circuit Board
Flexible printed circuit boards are printed circuits made of flexible insulating substrates, which have many advantages that Rigid printed circuit boards do not have.
1. Free bending, winding and folding, arbitrary arrangement according to space layout requirements, and arbitrary movement and expansion in three-dimensional space, so as to achieve the integration of component assembly and wire connection;
2. The volume and weight of electronic products can be greatly reduced by using FPC, which is suitable for the development of electronic products in the direction of high density, miniaturization, and high reliability. Therefore, FPC has been widely used in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptop computers, computer peripherals, PDA, digital cameras and other fields or products.
3. FPC also has the advantages of good heat dissipation and weldability, easy assembly and low comprehensive cost. The design of soft-hard combination also makes up for the slight deficiency of flexible substrates in component bearing capacity to a certain extent.
Main raw materials of FPC
Its main raw materials are right: 1, base material, 2, covering film, 3, reinforcing, 4, other auxiliary materials.
1. Substrate
1.1 Rubber Substrate
There are three main parts of adhesive base material: copper foil, glue, and PI. There are two kinds of single-sided base material and double-sided base material. Only one side of copper foil is single-sided base material, and two sides of copper foil are double-sided base material.
1.2 Rubber-free Substrate
The non-glue base material is the base material without the glue layer. Compared with ordinary glue base material, it has less middle glue layer, only copper foil, and PI. It has thinner, better dimensional stability, higher heat resistance, higher bending resistance, better chemical resistance, and other advantages than glue base material. Now it has been widely used.
Copper foil: At present, the thickness of common copper foil has the following specifications: 1OZ, 1/2OZ, 1/3OZ. Now, the thinner copper foil with 1/4OZ thickness is introduced. But at present, this kind of material has been used in our country and is being used in the ultra-fine line (line width and line spacing are below 0.05MM). With the increasing requirements of customers, this kind of material will be widely used in the future.
2. Covering film
There are three main parts: release paper, glue, and PI, which are only glue and PI in the final product. The release paper will be torn off in the production process and will no longer be used (there is foreign body on its protective glue).
3, reinforce
For the specific use of FPC materials, use in a specific part of the product to increase the support strength, make up for the FPC more "soft" characteristics.
At present, there are several kinds of commonly used reinforcing materials as follows:
1) FR4 reinforcing: The main components are glass fiber cloth and epoxy resin, which are the same as FR4 used in PCB.
2) Reinforcement of steel sheet: Composition of steel, with strong hardness and support strength;
3) PI reinforcing: The same as the covering film, there are three parts of PI and glued paper, but the PI layer is thicker, which can be produced proportionally from 2MIL to 9MIL.
4.Other auxiliary materials
1) Pure glue: This adhesive film is a kind of heat-curable acrylate adhesive film, which consists of protective paper/release film and a layer of glue. It is mainly used for laminating board, soft-hard bonding board and FR-4/steel sheet reinforcing board.
2) Electromagnetic protective film: paste on the surface of the board to shield.
3) Pure copper foil: only copper foil, mainly used for hollow board production.
Type of FPC
There are six types of FPC:
A. Single-sided Flexible Circuit Board: Only one side has a circuit.
B. Double-sided flexible PCB: There are circuits on both sides.
C. Hollow-out Flexible PCB board: also known as window board.
D. Layered Flexible PCB board: two-sided circuits (separate).
E. Multilayer Flexible PCB board: two or more layers.
F. Rigid-Flexible PCB: Products Combining Flexible PCB with Rigid PCB.
