FineX Transparent Conductive Film:
Panasonic Industry announces the release of FineX (“FineCross”), a next‑generation transparent conductive film engineered for high‑performance electromagnetic wave shielding in advanced or sensitive display, industrial, and wireless communication environments. FineX combines exceptionally high optical transmissivity, ultra‑low electrical resistance, and outstanding design flexibility—setting a new benchmark for transparent EMI shielding materials.
Built on Panasonic’s proprietary ultra‑fine copper metal‑mesh microfabrication technology, FineX contains precise, uniform wiring structures that achieve both low resistance and superb visibility. The film is supplied in roll format with pre‑applied OCA (Optical Clear Adhesive), enabling smooth, bubble‑free lamination and easy to handle.
Key Features:
- High Transmissivity: FineX achieves excellent transparency through ultra‑fine metal mesh wiring, enabling clear visibility for applications where optical performance is critical, such as high‑resolution displays, touch interfaces, and glass‑based HMI components.
- Low Resistance for High Performance: A high wiring aspect ratio ensures remarkably low electrical resistance supporting fast, uniform heating and stable current flow. This makes FineX ideal for devices requiring responsive thermal characteristics or highly conductive layers without compromising transparency. High performance of shielding can be secured without power supply or electric connection to the product.
- Diffraction less for increased Flexibility and Capability: By the design flexibility of cupper mesh patterning on the one hand and leveraging Panasonic’s extensive mass‑production experience on the other, Panasonic can incorporate complex mesh patterning tailored to various different design requirements for electromagnetic wave shielding and achieve diffraction less product.
- Bendability: Using thin film‑based materials and FineX’s ultra‑fine wiring, the product offers excellent bendability. This enables installation on curved, shaped, or many other non‑flat surfaces—making it a fit for a wide range of industrial applications requiring advanced form factors.
- Roll‑Type Film with Pre‑Applied OCA: FineX arrives ready for lamination with a clean and consistent OCA layer, reducing process steps, minimizing contamination risks, and improving overall productivity in manufacturing workflows.
Applications and Target Markets:
Noise Shielding (EMI/EMC Applications)
- Displays / Monitors – Transparent EMI shielding for touch screens, industrial HMIs, and large‑format displays
- Industrial Machinery – Shielding functional windows, control panels, and sensor interfaces against high‑frequency noise
Radio Wave Environment Control
- RFID – Localized restriction of radio wave zones to improve detection accuracy
- Wi‑Fi & Wireless Systems – Anti‑interference solutions for optimizing wireless performance in complex environments
These capabilities position FineX as an essential material for industries where clarity, conductivity, and precise electromagnetic control must coexist.
“As devices grow more integrated and wireless coexistence becomes increasingly challenging, FineX empowers manufacturers to build products that are clearer, more efficient, and easier to assemble,” remarks Panasonic’s FineX product manager Yoshitaka Takeyama, “Our proprietary metal‑mesh technology and OCA‑integrated design bring new freedom to engineers developing next‑generation electronic systems.”
