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.
