Abstract:
Unwanted radiation is reduced in a high-frequency signal transmission line that includes a ground conductor provided with an opening that overlaps a signal line. A dielectric element assembly has a relative dielectric constant ∈1 and has a first principal surface and a second principal surface. A signal line is provided in the dielectric element assembly. A ground conductor is provided in the dielectric element assembly and on the first principal surface side with respect to the signal line, faces the signal line, and is provided with an opening that overlaps the signal line. A high dielectric constant layer has a relative dielectric constant ∈2 higher than the relative dielectric constant ∈1 and is provided on the first principal surface so as to overlap the opening.

The flexible printed circuit (100) is individually punched out to be separated in a condition where the wiring pattern (2) is disposed on the base film (1), and the wiring pattern (2) has a narrowed portion (2c) near the edge of the base film (1).
Abstract:
A power supply control IC is mounted on a surface of a multilayer body that defines a power supply control circuit module. A first inner-layer electrode connecting an inductor element and a switching regulator element for the power supply control IC, another first inner-layer electrode connecting the inductor element and a capacitor element, and still another first inner-layer electrode connecting the switching regulator element and the capacitor element are located on upper layer regions of the multilayer body and are routed in between a mounting area of the power supply control IC and a peripheral wall of the multilayer body. The first inner-layer electrodes have widths that are wider than those of second inner-layer electrodes which are located near a center region of the multilayer body and transmit control signals.
Abstract:
A method for formation of a line pattern using a multiple nozzle head includes forming a cell region in which display cells with a height corresponding to a multiple of a line gap of nozzles provided to the multiple nozzle head are repeated in two dimensions; and forming different kinds of first and second line patterns alternatively repeated on the cell region by ink-jet printing using the multiple nozzle head. When the multiple nozzle head scans once, the first and second line patterns are formed at the same time under the condition that the height of the display cells and a gap between two associative line patterns are a multiple of the line gap of nozzles. This method may improve productivity by reducing the number of scans of the multiple nozzle head, and also decrease the possibility of open circuit occurring when forming a line pattern by ink jetting.
Abstract:
A first interconnect substrate includes a first conductor pattern. A second interconnect substrate includes a second conductor pattern. At least a portion of the second conductor pattern is formed in a region opposite the first conductor pattern. At least either the first conductor pattern or the second conductor pattern has a repeated structure. The first conductor pattern and the second conductor pattern constitute at least a portion of an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure.
Abstract:
A low pass filter circuit includes an inductor and a capacitor. A first terminal of the inductor functions as an input to receive direct current voltage, and a second terminal of the inductor is connected to a first terminal of the capacitor through first and second conductor traces connected in series. A second terminal of the capacitor is grounded. Widths of the first and second conductor traces both range from about 2 mils to about 5 mils. A node between the first and second conductor traces outputs the direct current.
Abstract:
An electronic control device includes a substrate, a plurality of component-mounted wires, a plurality of electronic components, a common wire, an interrupt wire and a protective layer. The component-mounted wires and the common wire are disposed on the substrate. The electronic components are mounted on the respective component-mounted wires and are coupled with the common wire. The interrupt wire is coupled between one component-mounted wire and the common wire, and is configured to melt in accordance with heat generated by an overcurrent to interrupt a coupling between the component-mounted wire and the common wire. The protective layer covers a surface of the substrate including the interrupt wire and defines an opening portion so that at least a portion of the interrupt wire is exposed.

A methodology for connecting device components with circuitry located at different levels and orientations relative to one another is described. First circuitry can be located on a multi-plane rigid circuit board where the multi-plane rigid circuit board can include at least one flexible member sharing a common substrate with the multi-plane rigid circuit board that extends from a body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board. The flexible member can include traces used to convey power and/or data and an interface coupled to the power and/or data traces. The flexible member can be deflected or twisted to connect first circuitry on the body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board to second circuitry associated with another device component.
