Kyodo Giken Chemical's Liquid Crystal Polymer Film

Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) film is expected to see a sharp increase in demand for 5th generation communication (5G) devices. LCP film is considered promising as a base material for flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) due to its features such as low noise, low power consumption, and ultra miniaturization. Kyodo Giken Chemical (Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture) is a small and medium-sized company that has started mass production. In the military industry, this is a matter of life and death. Because of this, Kyodo Giken began to receive a flood of inquiries about LCP, mainly from overseas companies. This is not the only strength of Kyodo Giken. LCP film is susceptible to lateral force and tears easily. This further suppresses noise, and the thickness of the copper foil can be reduced to 5 micrometers, making it possible to create ultra-fine circuit patterns.
