Electronics in Film (EIF) are conductive printed or die-cut structures on thin and flexible film substrates that can conduct low current flows. EIF performs many functions of traditional electronic applications but offers a crucial advantage compared with conventional technology: low height of less than a millimeter combined with minimal weight, as well as high flexibility and bendability. For instance, this enables the integration of EIF behind exquisitely designed curved surfaces or into tight assembly spaces.
Fields of Application:
Printed electronics for the pharmaceutical industry
Capacitive sensors (e.g. touchscreens)
Sensor systems (e.g. electrically readable humidity sensors)
Heating (e.g. sensor heating)
Miscellaneous: measurement current
Benefits:
Flat and flexible film structure (approx. 50 - 300µ) with minimal weight
Flexible choice of materials according to specific customer requirements and adjusted to the respective application: conductive paste printing, die-cut parts from conductive films, e.g. copper- or aluminum-based
Transparent film substrates for functions involving transmitted light
Easy integration into the customer’s product due to self-adhesive coating of the film
Easy bonding with customer electronics by plug connections, crimping or conductive gluing possible
