Fjelstad Joseph. Flexible Circuit Technology

3rd edition. — BR Publishing, 2006. — 226 p. — ISBN 0-9667075-0-8. — (Electrical engineering and electronics; 20)The flexible circuit has been at the head of a quiet revolution in the world of electronic packaging, a revolution that has gone largely unnoticed, lost in the excitement of continued advances in semiconductor technology.
Flexible circuits are now a key enabling technology for products ranging from simple consumer goods to spacecraft. They are critical elements in such diverse products as medical equipment, keyboards, hard disk drives, printers and cellular phones.
Indeed, with a technology that moves as rapidly as flex, the best one can hope to do is to write about the state of the technology up to the moment of publication, after which time the text begins to drift into technology history. Nevertheless, this book is believed to be properly comprehensive and it is hoped that it provides an engaging introduction to the world of flexible circuitry.Flexible Circuit Technology Overview
