The Performance-enhancing Benefits of Flexible Circuit Technology
02/05/2026 | Joe Fjelstad, Verdant ElectronicsFlexible circuits have been around much longer than most folks realize. My friend, Dr. Ken Gilleo, unquestionably a technology forensics genius, unearthed a British patent issued to Albert Hansen of Germany just after the turn of the last century (Figure 1), which we can easily recognize today as an ancestral flexible circuit. We owe his creativity a great deal of credit for laying the foundation for countless electronic products in use today that employ flex circuits.
