Abstract:
An edge plated printed circuit board (PCB) improves radiated emission performance by enhancing ground shielding on the PCB and improving the physical and electrical connection between the PCB and external EMI suppression components including an EMI chassis and gaskets. Inner ground layers within a multi-layer PCB are configured to physically extend to an edge of the PCB, which is plated using copper electroplating, so that copper ground strips disposed at the top and bottom surfaces of the PCB and the inner ground layers are all electrically coupled to the plated edge. In some embodiments, the ground strips can be made thinner compared to conventional arrangements, or be eliminated altogether as a result of the direct connection between the edge plated PCB and external EMI shields.
Abstract:
A panel unit that reduces the influence of static electricity applied to a panel member forming a display surface without increasing the size of an electronic apparatus. The panel unit has a touch panel and an FPC including connection sections which are electrically connected to interconnection sections of the touch panel, and is provided with signal lines and a ground interconnection. The FPC includes conductor-exposed portions each provided between the connection sections connected to the interconnection sections and an outer part of the touch panel. The conductor-exposed portions are configured to be prevented from being electrically conducted to the signal lines, and be electrically conducted to the ground interconnection.
