Development of Industry’s First flexible Electronic Paper by Bridgestone
The new manufacturing technology can literally give the same flexibility to the E-paper as regular paper. Well, may be not yet but Bridgestone’s newly developed flexible E-paper take this idea few step closer to reality. The size of the device is 10.7 inch with a thickness of only 5.8mm. All parts of this super thin all flexible electronic paper device such as electronic paper, touch panel, circuit board are flexible. Read more
Industry’s first ultra thin, ultra long Flexible Printed Circuit
FPC is used to enable the thin wiring possessing to its thin, light, highly flexible and highly dense characteristics. But due to unavailability of thin FPCs, thin cables have been used instead as a wiring material for narrow and long places. The conventional thin wire has inherent issues namely that the thinner the cable the more complex harness-making process becomes which increases the chances for incorrect wiring. Based on this OKI Electric Cable has announced the development of an ultra thin, ultra long flexible printed circuit (FPC). The new FPC has achieved a narrow width of 2mm and a length of up to 3 meter which was so far difficult to make. Read more
