Flexible Membrane Switches
In flexible electronics, flexible membrane switches consist of a flexible substrate that houses all the functional components, and a graphic overlay that interacts directly with users. Together, they allow for the customization of control panels, meeting both aesthetic and functional requirements.
Common substrates like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are particularly effective in human machine interface (HMI) applications, including dishwashers, washing machines, hospital beds, and treadmills. Recent advances in material science have introduced more eco-friendly materials, leading us towards a more sustainable future.
