Description

Flexible PCB
[technical field]
The present invention is a kind of flexible PCB, particularly a kind of flexible PCB with buffering area.
[prior art]
Because global Information And Communication product is flourish, also drives printed circuit board (PCB) (Printing Circuit Board, market PCB), and flexible printed circuit board (Flexible Print Circuit; FPC) now be the application mainstream of many electronic products.
Flexible PCB is widely used on the small-sized portable system that needs compact substrate, as clamshell phone, mobile computer, wrist-watch and hearing aids, and application such as electron medical treatment product.In addition, recent flexible electronic more expanded application (Radio Frequency Identification is RFID) on label and the photoelectric subassembly to radio frequency identification.
Yet, when using flexible PCB, the restriction in some designs is arranged, as: the size of flexible PCB will go up some with the area of copper backing greatly than rigid printed circuit board (PCB); Secondly, must make special weld tabs storehouse, otherwise copper may break away from dielectric layer; Moreover, in the edge of flexible PCB, if the insufficient space of being reserved then will cause peeling off thereby impacting between layer and the layer.In addition, when flexible PCB was subjected to bending, it was damaged because of stress deformation can cause circuit, with the LCD MODULE display abnormality that makes its application.Therefore, developing the technology that addresses the above problem is the direction that industrial circle is desired most ardently development.
[summary of the invention]
In view of this, the present invention proposes a kind of flexible PCB, comprises: main part, dispose electronic building brick; The junction surface is connected in connector; Connecting portion, its two end connects aforementioned body portion and junction surface respectively, and above-mentioned connecting portion comprises buffering area and area of stress concentration.Wherein, above-mentioned buffering area is between area of stress concentration and junction surface, and area of stress concentration is then between buffering area and main part.
Flexible PCB of the present invention, its buffering area are the individual layer plate body.Because when flexible PCB is connected to connector, phenomenon easily arches upward at the place of joining of flexible PCB and connector, if the buffering area of a lamina body structure is set in the place of joining, make the place of joining become soft zone, produce the problem that arches upward in the time of then avoiding flexible PCB to be connected to connector.
In addition, flexible PCB provided by the present invention, the area of stress concentration that it has a multilayer plate body utilizes the intensity of multi-layer sheet body structure, and then strengthens the intensity of bearing strain.When flexible PCB is connected to connector, the connecting portion of above-mentioned flexible PCB suffers external force and produces stress, make the turnover of connecting portion, thereby be easy to generate strain and impaired, therefore, one area of stress concentration is set so that increase the intensity of turnover in connecting portion, moreover, because connecting portion has a buffering area in the place of joining of flexible PCB and connector, therefore will make the position of bearing maximum stress betide buffering area, so can reduce the stress that above-mentioned turnover may suffer, and then avoid turnover to damage, and when making the junction surface be connected to circuit control panel, can reach the function that signal transmits, can normal operation in order to circuit board.
Below in execution mode, be described in detail detailed features of the present invention and advantage, its content is enough to make any related art techniques person of being familiar with to understand technology contents of the present invention and implements according to this, and according to the disclosed content of this specification, claim and graphic, any related art techniques person of haveing the knack of can understand purpose and the advantage that the present invention is correlated with easily.
