Anisotropic conductive films (ACF) are type of adhesive films that are used as interconnect systems in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), that is lead-free and environmental friendly. These adhesive films help to create stable and more reliable connections and thus prevent short circuits in the electronic devices. Apart from films, this material is also available as anisotropic conductive paste (ACP) and anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACA). ACF has a wide range of applications in different electrical gadgets such as mobile phones, cameras and others. It is also used in several other end-user industries including automobile, healthcare, aerospace, and others. ACF technology is mostly used in chip-on-glass, flex-on-glass, flex-on-board, flex-on-flex, chip-on-flex, chip-on-board, and also has applications for higher signal densities. The rise in demand for ACF can be favored because of its advantages such as lead-free, recyclable, and low production cost.
