Technology Institute
Background of the establishment of the research institute and responsible department and need for them
Existing (for family use) single-sided circuit boards have been losing price competitiveness in the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets. Flexible PCB for the dashboard as the company’s independent product has been used for all domestic automobiles, but Spain (Europe) has supplied their technology-intensive products for the entire quantity required for Kia Motors Corp’s OPTIMA. The company has needed to develop technology-intensive products in response to such shocking market encroachment.
Functions entrusted to the research institute and responsible department
- Acquisition of data of advanced technology-intensive products
- Characteristic analysis
- Sample-based experiment and production
- Identification of problems and development of finished products until our own process-based mass production
Specialized research field
- Silver Jump Screen printing (high density circuit printing: Refer to the photos of printed products)
- Dry film patterns are replaced with screen prints (dry film method-based printing requires much time and cost but the existing silk screen printing method that has been developed reduces time and cost.)
- Siver Through (Double-sided resin: cost reduction by using general single-sided materials as a substitute for double-sided materials without using existing double-sided materials)
- Identification of problems and development of finished products until our own process-based mass production
