The future of flexible printed circuit boards
Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is a novel approach to electronic flexible printed circuit boards manufacturing that aims to combine the best of printed and conventional electronics. Conductive interconnects, and as many additional components as possible, are printed onto a flexible substrate, whereas the IC (integrated circuit) is produced separately using photolithography and then mounted (usually as a bare die, without packaging).
