In a research report on the global flexible circuit board (FPCB) industry from PR Newswire in 2013, Reportlinker.com pointed out that 2012 was an excellent year for FPCB makers as...
Flexible printed circuit (FPC) coverlays are meant to overlay and protect the fine circuits, giving them flexibility and sheltering them from damage by temperatures, humidity, pollutants...
The Apple iPhone has ignited consumer demand worldwide for 3G smartphones, but many consumers are unaware that Taiwan-based flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) makers have made...
San Jose Mercury News, an influential English-language newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area, was established in 1983 through the merger of San Jose Mercury (founded...
To accommodate the trend of thinner and lighter consumer electronics products, Ultrabook standards clearly define the specifications and requirements, such as short boot time, all-time...
LED heat dissipation is a much more serious issue than thermal conductivity to the extent that it remains a major bottleneck for systems so far. With in-house developed technology,...
Thermal management has always been of critical importance in the high tech industry, but it has taken on an even more critical value as energy savings has become more important due...
More Taiwan companies have entered the touch panel market where strong growth is expected to be generated by the upcoming Windows 7, according to industry sources. IC distributors...
Japan is still a more major market than Taiwan for raw materials for flexible PCB (FPCB), but Taiwan, with less than 10% self-sufficiency on ductile solder mask, has been striving...
