Apple is anticipated to utilise LCP (liquid crystal polymer)-based versatile PCBs for the mmWave antenna modules and different high-speed transmission functions on the upcoming 5G iPhones. There are speculations that this might considerably improve the demand for LCP FPCB Modules, a provide chain report by DigiTimes hints.

Earlier in November 2019, trade insider, Ming-Chi Kuo had forecasted about using LCP FPCB Modules. Kuo hinted that Apple’s subsequent technology of 5G iPhones would characteristic improved Liquid Crystal Polymer Versatile Printed Circuits.

Though Apple experimented with LCP FPCB Modules with iPhone X, Kuo predicted that on the entire, LCP FPC based mostly iPhones would finally make up roughly 70-75% of Apple’s iPhone shipments over the subsequent yr.

What’s LCP, or liquid crystal polymer? It’s a fairly new materials arising in the flex PCB manufacturing market that’s establishing a stable presence. This one-of-a-kind thermoplastic product may be very skinny (1, 2 in addition to four mil cores), versatile circuits, lightweight, in addition to has fairly diminished dampness absorption in addition to excessive chemical resistance.

As well as, LCP has very good electrical buildings together with diminished loss and likewise a safe dielectric fixed that makes it good for high-frequency PCB manufacturing and mm-wave form functions, particularly people who may achieve from the slim, lightweight cores.
