Application of FPC in Medical Display Screen

With the digitalization and informatization of the medical industry, medical equipment places higher demands on display technology. Medical display screens must not only deliver high resolution and high contrast but also ensure long-term stable operation, reliable signal transmission, and a lightweight and slim design. HoYoGo, with advanced flexible circuit board manufacturing technology and strict quality control, provides high-reliability FPC products for medical display screens, strongly supporting the upgrade of medical display technology. The following will introduce the features, application advantages, and future development of FPC in medical display screens.

 

 

 

1. Features of FPC

FPC is a flexible circuit board made of base materials such as polyimide (PI) and polyester (PET). It offers advantages such as bendability, light weight, thin profile, and high wiring density. Compared with traditional rigid PCBs, FPC not only enables complex circuit designs within limited spaces but also withstands repeated bending and dynamic stretching, ensuring long-term reliability. These features perfectly meet the medical display screen’s need for high-performance connectors.

 

 

2. Special Requirements for Medical Display Screen Connections

Medical display screens are widely used in surgical displays, imaging diagnostics, patient monitoring, endoscopy, and portable ultrasound equipment. These devices have the following characteristics in terms of operating environment and functional requirements:

 

 

1) High Resolution and High Transmission Rate: Medical imaging often involves ultra-high-definition resolutions such as 4K and 8K, requiring extremely high data transfer speed and signal integrity.

 

 

2) Long-Term Stability: Medical equipment is frequently required to operate continuously for hours or longer, which means internal connectors must not loosen or fail easily.

 

 

3) Lightweight and Slim Design: Particularly for mobile surgical displays and portable devices, compact and lightweight designs are essential.

 

 

4) Safety and Reliability: As medical devices directly relate to patient safety, all internal components must offer exceptional reliability and durability.

 

 

3. Advantages of FPC in Medical Display Screens

1) High-Density Signal Transmission: FPC enables fine wiring and high-density interconnections, supporting high-speed, large-volume data transmission within confined spaces and ensuring crystal-clear high-resolution medical images.

 

 

2) Flexible Bending Design: The flexible routing of FPC makes it easier to achieve ultra-thin and lightweight designs, which is crucial for mobile display screens and handheld ultrasound devices.

 

 

3) High Reliability and Stability: High-quality FPCs made with advanced materials and technologies can resist electromagnetic interference and thermal expansion/contraction, ensuring stable performance even under heavy usage.

 

 

4) Easy Module Integration: FPC can be closely integrated with backlight units, touch modules, and driver circuits, enhancing the integration of medical display screens and simplifying the overall assembly process.

 

 

5) Strong Environmental Resistance: Medical environments may involve high humidity, exposure to disinfectants, or alternating high and low temperatures. FPCs possess excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and flame-retardant properties, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

 

 

4. Application Examples

1) Surgical Display Screens: In operating rooms, doctors need high-definition real-time images to guide procedures. FPCs handle high-speed signal transmission and backlight module connections, ensuring clear and delay-free imaging.

 

 

2) Portable Ultrasound Devices: As ultrasound equipment trends toward miniaturization, FPC helps reduce overall size and weight through flexible connections, making devices easier to carry.

 

 

3) Endoscopic Display Systems: Endoscopes require circuit layouts inside extremely narrow tubes, and the flexible properties of FPC make it an ideal choice.

 

 

5. Development Trends

In the future, as medical display screens evolve toward ultra-high resolution, 3D imaging, and flexible displays, FPC technology will continue to advance. Developments such as higher-layer multilayer FPCs, lower-loss high-speed materials, and deeper integration with chip-on-film (COF) and chip-on-glass (COG) packaging will further enhance the performance and reliability of medical display screens.

Why does PCB Pads Fall Off?

图片
       PCB pad  falling off   is a  relatively  common  bad   phenomenon in   the   PCBA processing process , that is, the phenomenon that the pads are separated from the PCB. As a necessary medium for welding and assembling electronic components and PCB boards, once the pads fall off, the PCBA products will fail to be used normally. So what are the reasons for the PCB pads to fall off?   PCB and soldering problems are the main cause of PCB pads falling off.     PCB problem:   The poor adaptability of the copper foil and the resin of the PCB substrate will lead to the mismatch between the copper foil and the resin system, causing the PCB pad to fall off.   In the PCB manufacturing process, excessive etching of the circuit leads to copper throwing or deformation of the pad due to the collision of the pad position during the processing process, which will also cause the PCB pad to fall off.     ...

What is the Effect of Humid Environment on PCBA

图片
      There is a lot of moisture in the air, when the humidity is too high, it will turn into water droplets and fall on the PCB board and electronic components. So what kind of effect does this humid environment have on PCBA?       In the process of PCBA processing, it is necessary to ensure the humidity balance in the workshop, so that the humidity value is within a suitable range. If the humidity is too low, the air will be too dry, which not only easy to generate static electricity, but also to accumulate dust. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to cause the PCBA to be damp and oxidiz ed or to burst.     Before PCBA processing, if the electronic components are damp, the pins of the electronic components will be oxidized, or there will be undesirable phenomena such as tin rejection and fried tin during the welding process. And if the PCB board is exposed to a high humidity environment for a long time, it will cause the board surface to be ...

The Difference between PCB and PWB

　　In our daily life, we often use electronic products. A lot of electronic components are used in each electronic product, so we often hear the words PCB and PWB. They are similar but different from the literal point of view, therefore many people are confused. They are not clear whether the PCB and the PWB are the same. Let's explain in detail. 　　The difference between PCB and PWB : 　　PCB: Based on insulating substrate, it means a kind of products on which the wires are connected and components are printed from point to point on a dielectric substrate in a predetermined design. It is the English abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board. 　　PWB:Based on insulating substrate, it means a kind of products on which the wires are connected from point to point on a dielectric substrate in a predetermined design. However, there is no printed component on it.PWBs are the early name of the British, because at that time there were only circuit diagrams on the circuit board, but no printe...
