Abstract:
A method is for making an electronic device including forming a multilayer circuit board having a non-planar three-dimensional shape defining a membrane switch recess therein, the multilayer circuit board including at least one liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layer, and at least one electrically conductive pattern layer thereon defining at least one membrane switch electrode adjacent the membrane switch recess to define a membrane switch. The method also includes filling the membrane switch recess with a compressible dielectric material, and positioning at least one biasing member in the membrane switch recess.
Abstract:
A device comprising a laminate (2) comprising at least two layers (31, 32, 33, 34, 35) and a plurality of electronic components (5, 6, 7, 8) disposed between two layers. At least one of the layers (31, 34) supports conductive tracks (10, 11) arranged to connect electronic components.
Abstract:
A substrate for mounting an electronic component includes a base material including insulating resin, a first conductor layer formed on first surface of the material, a second conductor layer formed on second surface of the material, and a metal block inserted into a hole penetrating through the first conductor, material and second conductor such that the metal block is fitted in the hole. The material has a bent portion in contact with the metal block in the hole such that the bent portion is bending toward the second conductor, the metal block has surface on first conductor side such that the surface has an outer peripheral portion having a curved-surface shape, and the hole has a first fitting inlet on the first conductor layer side and a second fitting inlet on second conductor side and that the metal block is positioned in contact with the second fitting inlet.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating packaging for a product comprises forming a plurality of conductive tracks on a sheet of material and forming a physical barrier, such as a hole, for impeding fluid flow between adjacent conductive tracks. The method may further comprise depositing first and second regions conductive fluid onto adjacent first and second conductive tracks either side of the physical barrier and mounting an electronic device having first and second terminals such that the electronic device forms a bridge over the physical barrier and the first ands second terminals contact the first and second conductive adjacent tracks.

Abstract:
A lighting arrangement is disclosed with a light module (2) that has at least one first group (22, 22′) of light sources (221, 222, 223) and one second group (22, 22″) of light sources that are arranged spaced apart from each other on a flexible circuit board (21), and with a carrier (1) on which the light module is mounted, and a buffer zone (12) that laterally overlaps with the light module between the first and the second group of light sources. Furthermore, a backlighting device and a display device are disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for making an electric interconnection between two conducting layers, separated by at least one insulation or semi-conducting layer, which includes forming a stud extending between at least the lower conducting layer and the upper conducting layer, where the nature and/or the shape of the stud impart non-wettability properties relative to the material used for the separating layer.
Abstract:
A thin film circuit board device includes a multi-layered circuit unit having an upper circuit layer formed with an upper circuit having at least one first contact part, a lower circuit layer formed with a lower circuit having at least one second contact part disposed beneath the first contact part, and an insulating layer disposed between the upper and lower circuit layers and having at least one through hole. One of the upper and lower circuit layers has at least one preformed protruding portion that protrudes into the through hole toward the other one of the upper and lower circuit layers. One of the first and second contact parts is disposed on the preformed protruding portion so as to be in constant contact with the other one of the first and second contact parts.
