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.
FineX features ultra fine metal mesh wiring that provides high transmissivity, allowing excellent transparency for applications where optical performance is critical, including high resolution displays, touch interfaces, and glass-based HMI components. Its high wiring aspect ratio results in very low electrical resistance, which supports fast and uniform heating, stable current flow, and strong electromagnetic shielding without requiring a power supply or electrical connection to the product.
The copper mesh pattern can be flexibly designed and manufactured using Panasonic’s extensive mass production experience, enabling complex electromagnetic shielding structures, while avoiding diffraction effects. The use of thin film-based materials and ultra fine wiring also gives the product excellent bendability, allowing installation on curved, shaped, or other non-flat surfaces in a wide range of industrial applications.
