This article will provide a detailed introduction to the working principle, classification, and application fields of thin film switches, while also looking forward to their future development trends.
1、 The working principle of thin film switches
Thin film switch is a type of switch manufactured using thin film materials and electronic components. Its working principle is mainly based on electrostatic induction and the characteristics of insulation materials. When the voltage applied to the switch reaches a certain value, that is, when the distance between the two plates decreases to a certain distance, breakdown occurs between the two plates, forming a discharge channel, and the current begins to discharge. Therefore, a large corona power and corona current are generated on the electrode, causing the gas between the two poles of the switch to be broken down and arc discharge to occur. When the voltage applied to the two poles of the switch is lower than this value, due to insufficient energy, the distance between the two poles is further shortened, and there is no discharge channel between the two poles, that is, the switch is not broken down, and the switch is in the open state.
2、 Classification of thin film switches
Thin film switches can be classified into various types according to different classification methods. The following are several common classification methods:
Classified by production materials: Thin film switches can be divided into polyimide thin film switches, polyester thin film switches, poly (acyl chloride) thin film switches, etc.
According to usage requirements, membrane switches can be classified into waterproof, explosion-proof, and high-temperature resistant types.
Classified by structural characteristics: Thin film switches can be divided into single panel, double-sided board, multi-layer board, etc.
3、 The application of thin film switches
Thin film switches are widely used in various fields due to their unique performance, and the following are the main application areas:
Electronic devices: Thin film switches are widely used in electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, etc., as function buttons, navigation keys, etc.
Mechanical equipment: In mechanical equipment, membrane switches are mainly used to control various mechanical actions, such as automated production lines, robots, etc.
Aerospace: In the field of aerospace, thin film switches are mainly used to control various functional modules of aerospace vehicles, such as airplanes, rockets, etc.
4、 The Future Development of Thin Film Switches
With the continuous development of technology, the future development trend of thin film switches will become more apparent. Here are several possible aspects:
Market demand and development trends: With the popularization of electronic products and smart devices, the market demand for thin film switches will continue to increase. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of various application scenarios, high-performance thin film switches such as waterproof, dustproof, and high-temperature resistance will become the future development trend.
Technological progress and innovation capability: With the continuous development of materials science and manufacturing technology, the materials and manufacturing processes of thin film switches will be further optimized. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of various application scenarios, the design and functions of thin film switches will continue to innovate.
In summary, as an important member of electronic components, thin film switches have a wide range of working principles, classifications, and application fields. With the continuous progress of technology and the increase in market demand, the future development trend of thin film switches will be more obvious.
