What is the difference between semi-flex and rigid flex?

FAQ about printed circuit boardsFLEX/RIGID-FLEX

Semi flex is effectively a ‘standard’ multilayer PCB, built using specific types of FR4 that has been depth to a specific tolerance so that the resulting thinner area provides a flexible / bending section of the traditionally rigid FR4.
Semi flex is suitable for static applications (flex to install), or with very limited number of bends.
