What Is Flexible Electronics
Mounting electronic components on flexible plastic substrates, such as polyimide, PEEK, or transparent conductive polyester film, is the method used in the technology known as flexible electronics, which is also known as flex circuits. This method is used to assemble electronic circuits. In addition to this method, silver circuits may be screen printed on polyester to create flex circuits. It is possible to build flexible electronic assemblies using the same components that are used to produce rigid printed circuit boards. This gives the board the ability to adapt to any desired shape and to bend while it is in use.
