Custom FPC, FFC and Cable Assemblies for LCD, Touch Panel and Display System Integration

DisplayMan supplies custom FPC, FFC and cable assemblies for LCD modules, touch panels, OLED displays, controller boards, LED backlights and OEM display systems.

Standard cables often cannot directly match the connector position, pin definition, cable length, bending direction and mechanical structure of a custom display product.

Project-based support can include LCD panel cables, LVDS, eDP, MIPI, touch FPC, USB touch, backlight cables, adapter cables and complete wire harnesses.

An FPC / Cable Assembly Project Can Include

Custom FPC or FFC
LCD panel signal cable
LVDS, eDP, RGB or MIPI matching
Capacitive or resistive touch FPC
Controller-board cable set
Backlight wire and connector
Adapter cable or adapter-board review
Shielding, grounding and mechanical routing

Core Product Positioning

Choose a custom FPC or Cable Assembly when the display, touch panel, controller board, backlight or product mainboard needs matched electrical and mechanical interconnection.

FPC / Cable Assembly Product Directions

The correct cable depends on display type, interface, connector, pin definition, electrical rating, cable routing and enclosure structure.
