Detailed Description
As described in the background art, when different electronic products have different requirements on the copper exposed area of the flexible printed circuit board, the copper exposed area of the flexible printed circuit board needs to be designed differently, which results in higher cost of the flexible printed circuit board.
The inventor researches and discovers that the reason for causing the problem is mainly that the specifications of different electronic products are different, and as the electronic products gradually develop from standardization to customization, the positions of functional interfaces of the electronic products, such as grounding ends of the whole machine, also need to be customized, so that the functional interfaces of the flexible circuit board, such as a copper-exposed area, cannot be commonly used, and the flexible circuit board needs to be redesigned for each customized electronic product.
The redesigned flexible circuit board not only needs to adjust the functional interface such as the copper exposure area, but also needs to adjust the wiring and the like related to the functional interface such as the copper exposure area, thereby not only increasing the labor cost and causing the waste of human resources, but also increasing the development time of the electronic product and slowing down the development progress of the electronic product. In addition, adjusting the position of the functional interface such as the copper exposure area affects the performance of the electronic product, for example, if the position of the wiring and the like related to the functional interface such as the copper exposure area cannot be adjusted, the wiring and the like need to be redesigned, which leads to the fact that the crosstalk and the coupling between the signal lines cannot reach the optimal design, thereby leading to the fact that the performance of the flexible circuit board cannot reach the optimal, and further leading to the fact that the display effect of the electronic product cannot reach the optimal. Thirdly, the flexible circuit board is required to be opened again every time the flexible circuit board is redesigned, so that the design cost of the flexible circuit board and the electronic product is greatly increased.
Based on this, the invention provides a windowing transfer film, a flexible circuit board and a manufacturing method thereof, so as to overcome the problems in the prior art, wherein the windowing transfer film comprises:
a conductive adhesive layer;
the first conductive layer is positioned on the surface of the conductive adhesive layer;
the first insulating layer is positioned on the surface of the first conducting layer and provided with a first window, and the first window is exposed out of the first conducting layer.
After the windowing transfer film is fixed on the flexible circuit board, the first conducting layer is electrically connected with the copper exposing area of the flexible circuit board through the conducting adhesive layer, namely, the first conducting layer is electrically connected with the second conducting layer exposed by the second windowing of the flexible circuit board, the copper exposing area can be transferred onto the windowing transfer film, the first conducting layer exposed by the first windowing is electrically connected with the functional interface, for example, the first conducting layer is electrically connected with the grounding end of the whole machine, the flexible circuit board can be electrically connected with the functional interface, for example, the grounding end of the whole machine, so that the first windowing with different areas can be manufactured at different positions of the first insulating layer, the flexible circuit board does not need to be redesigned, and different requirements of different electronic products on the copper exposing area can be met. Moreover, the cost of the windowing transfer film is lower than the cost of redesigning the flexible circuit board, so that the flexible circuit board can meet different requirements of different electronic products on a copper exposure area at lower cost.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, so that the above is the core idea of the present invention, and the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a windowing transfer film, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic top view structure of the windowing transfer film provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of the windowing transfer film shown in fig. 1 along a cutting line AA', where the windowing transfer film includes a conductive adhesive layer 201, a first conductive layer 202, and a first insulating layer 203.
The first conductive layer 202 is located on the surface of the conductive adhesive layer 201. Optionally, the first conductive layer 202 is attached to the surface of the conductive adhesive layer 201, that is, after the whole first conductive layer 202 is manufactured, the first conductive layer 202 is attached to the surface of the conductive adhesive layer 201.
The first insulating layer 203 is located on the surface of the first conductive layer 202, and optionally, the first insulating layer 203 is pasted on the surface of the first conductive layer 202, that is, after the whole first insulating layer 203 is manufactured, the first insulating layer 203 is pasted on the surface of the first conductive layer 202. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the first insulating layer 203 may be formed directly on the surface of the first conductive layer 202, for example, by spraying a material directly on the surface of the first conductive layer 202 to form the first insulating layer 203.
The first insulating layer 203 has a first window 2030, and the first window 2030 exposes the first conductive layer 202. Alternatively, the first insulating layer 203 may be cut to form the first window 2030 after the entire first insulating layer 203 is manufactured, or the first window 2030 may be formed by covering the first conductive layer 202 with a mask and spraying no insulating material in the window area when the first insulating layer 203 is manufactured on the surface of the first conductive layer 202.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the conductive adhesive layer 201 may be made of a conductive adhesive, and the conductive adhesive is an adhesive with a certain conductivity after being cured or dried, that is, the conductive adhesive layer 201 is an adhesive layer with conductivity. The Conductive Adhesive constituting the Conductive Adhesive layer 201 may be Isotropic Conductive Adhesive (ICAs) or Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive (ACAs), which is not described herein again. The material of the first conductive layer 202 includes a metal, such as copper or aluminum, which has good conductivity. The material of the first insulating layer 203 includes a thermoplastic polyester material such as PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any insulating material that can be easily formed and easily opened may be used in the present invention.
It should be noted that, when the windowing transfer film in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a device requiring a window to be transferred, such as a flexible printed circuit board, after the windowing transfer film is fixed on the flexible printed circuit board, the first conductive layer 202 is electrically connected with the exposed copper area of the flexible circuit board through the conductive adhesive layer 201, if the first conductive layer 202 is electrically connected to the second conductive layer exposed by the second window of the flexible circuit board, the copper-exposed areas can be transferred to the windowed transfer film by electrically connecting the exposed first conductive layer 202 of the first window 2030 to a functional interface, such as a ground terminal of the overall device, the electric connection between the flexible circuit board and the functional interface, such as the grounding end of the whole machine, therefore, different requirements of different electronic products on the copper exposure area can be met only by manufacturing the first windows 2030 with different areas at different positions of the first insulating layer 203 without redesigning the flexible circuit board. Moreover, the cost of the windowing transfer film is lower than the cost of redesigning the flexible circuit board, so that the flexible circuit board can meet different requirements of different electronic products on a copper exposure area with lower cost and convenience and rapidness.
In the embodiments of the present invention, only the shape of the windowing transfer film is a square, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the shape of the windowing transfer film may also be a circle, a polygon, or the like. Similarly, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the first opening 2030 is illustrated as a square, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the shape of the first opening 2030 may also be a circle or a polygon, and the opening transfer film and the first opening 2030 in the embodiment of the present invention may be cut or manufactured into any shape as needed to meet the needs of different flexible circuit boards or devices requiring opening transfer.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the windowing transfer film may only include one first conductive layer 202, or may include multiple first conductive layers 202, and an insulating layer may or may not be provided between adjacent first conductive layers 202, but if an insulating layer is provided between adjacent first conductive layers 202, the adjacent first conductive layers 202 need to be electrically connected through a via, etc. to achieve the purpose of windowing transfer.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a flexible printed circuit, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 is a schematic view of a top-view structure of the flexible printed circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of the flexible printed circuit shown in fig. 3 along a cutting line BB', where the flexible printed circuit includes a flexible printed circuit body 10 and a windowing transfer film 20 located on the flexible printed circuit body 10.
The flexible printed circuit board body 10 includes a flexible substrate 101, at least one second conductive layer 102 on a surface of the flexible substrate 101, and a second insulating layer 103 on a surface of the at least one second conductive layer 102, where the second insulating layer 103 has a second window 1030, and the second window 1030 exposes the second conductive layer 102.
The windowing transfer film 20 comprises a conductive adhesive layer 201, a first conductive layer 202 located on the surface of the conductive adhesive layer 201 and a first insulating layer 203 located on the surface of the first conductive layer 202, wherein the conductive adhesive layer 201 is adhered to the first insulating layer 203 and the surface of the second conductive layer 102 exposed by the second windowing 1030, the first conductive layer 202 is electrically connected with the second conductive layer 102 exposed by the second windowing 1030 through the conductive adhesive layer 201, the first insulating layer 203 is provided with a first windowing 2030, and the first conductive layer 202 is exposed by the first windowing 2030.
It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, the second conductive layer 102 is a copper foil layer, and the second window 1030 is a copper exposed area of the flexible circuit board body 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first conductive layer 202 is electrically connected to the second conductive layer 102 exposed by the second window 1030, i.e. the copper exposed area, through the conductive adhesive layer 201, that is, the copper exposed area of the flexible circuit board body 10 can be transferred to the windowing transfer film 20, and the first conductive layer 202 exposed by the first window 2030 is electrically connected to the ground end of the whole device, so that the flexible circuit board can be electrically connected to the ground end of the whole device, and thus, the first windows 2030 with different areas can be manufactured at different positions of the first insulating layer 203, and different requirements of different electronic products on the copper exposed area can be met without redesigning the flexible circuit board. And because the cost of the windowing transfer film is lower than the cost of redesigning the flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board can meet different requirements of different electronic products on a copper exposure area conveniently and quickly at lower cost.
It should be noted that fig. 4 only illustrates the flexible printed circuit board 10 having one second conductive layer 102, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the flexible printed circuit board 10 may have two, three, four, or even more second conductive layers 102, however, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a flexible printed circuit board according to another embodiment of the present invention, and an insulating layer 104 is required between adjacent second conductive layers 102.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in a direction Y perpendicular to the flexible printed circuit board, a projection of the first window 2030 and a projection of the second window 1030 are at least partially not overlapped, so that when a position of the second window 1030, i.e. a copper exposure area, on the flexible printed circuit board body 10 cannot be changed, a position of the first window 2030 is adjusted to transfer the copper exposure area to the first window 2030, so that the position of the copper exposure area meets requirements of different electronic products.
As shown in fig. 4, the projection of the first window 2030 does not overlap the projection of the second window 1030 at all. Because the first window 2030 can expose the first conductive layer 202, the exposed first conductive layer 202 is easily corroded in a warm and humid environment, and water, oxygen and the like are easily corroded into the flexible printed circuit board through the exposed first conductive layer 202, therefore, the projections of the first window 2030 and the second window 1030 are not overlapped at all, on one hand, the distance between the first window 2030 and the second window 1030 can be increased, the corrosion path is extended, and the corrosion process is delayed, on the other hand, when the windowing transfer film 20 is attached to the surface of the flexible printed circuit board, a step difference is formed at the second window 1030, that is, when the conductive adhesive layer 201 is attached to the surface of the flexible printed circuit board, a warped portion is generated, when the first window 2030 is partially located at the warped portion, if the side wall of the first window 2030 is located at the side face of the warped portion, the stress from the warped portion on the side wall of the first window 2030 can be decomposed into two directional component forces, the component force in one direction is a force perpendicular to the plane of the flexible circuit board, and the component force in the other direction is a force parallel to the plane of the flexible circuit board, wherein the force parallel to the plane of the flexible circuit board easily enables the first insulating layer 203 at the edge of the first window 2030 to peel off the surface of the first conductive layer 202, so that a defect or a notch is generated, and water vapor and oxygen invade along the defect or the notch.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of a flexible printed circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention, a projection of the first window 2030 does not overlap a projection of the second window 1030, that is, the projection of the first window 2030 overlaps a projection of the second window 1030. Since the first insulating layer 203 and the second insulating layer 103 are generally made of plastic and have low thermal conductivity, the area of heat exchange between the first conductive layer 202 and the second conductive layer 102 can be increased by overlapping the projection of the first window 2030 and the projection of the second window 1030, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
In some embodiments of the present invention, in the direction Y perpendicular to the flexible circuit board, the projection area of the first open window 2030 is larger than the projection area of the second open window 1030. As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic top view structure diagram of a flexible circuit board according to another embodiment of the present invention, taking the projection shapes of the first window 2030 and the second window 1030 as an example of a circle, a radius R1 of the first window 2030 is greater than a radius R2 of the second window 1030, and a projection area of the first window 2030 is greater than a projection area of the second window 1030, so that the area of the second window 1030, i.e., a copper-exposed area, is smaller and cannot meet the requirement of an electronic product, and when there are too many traces on the flexible circuit board body 10 and the area of the copper-exposed area cannot be further increased, the area of the copper-exposed area can be increased by the window transfer film 20.
Although the area of the first window 2030 cannot be increased to reduce the resistance under the condition that the opening area of the second window 1030 and the contact resistance between the conductive adhesive layer 201 and the second conductive layer 102 are determined, the inventor researches and discovers that the transmission resistance of the functional interface can be reduced by increasing the area of the first window 2030, so that the loss of signals transmitted by the functional interface on the first conductive layer 202 due to the internal resistance and the potential difference of the first conductive layer 202 can be compensated to a certain extent, and the transmission performance between the flexible printed circuit board and the functional interface can be enhanced.
It should be noted that, when the projection shapes of the first window 2030 and the second window 1030 are both circular, compared with the projection shapes of both the first window and the second window which are both square, the curvature of the circular window is equal at all positions, and the curvature does not suddenly change, so that the stress concentration generated by the flexible circuit board during bending can be avoided, and further the situations such as warping and deformation at the window position can be avoided.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second conductive layer 102 may be electrically connected to the ground terminal of the complete machine through the first conductive layer 202, and may also be electrically connected to a device bound to the flexible circuit board through the ground connection terminal. As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic top view of a flexible printed circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention, the flexible printed circuit body 10 includes a plurality of connection terminals 104, at least one of the connection terminals 104 is a ground connection terminal, and the second conductive layer 102 is electrically connected to the ground connection terminal. And the grounding connection terminal is electrically connected with a binding device of the flexible circuit board, such as a display panel, namely the binding device, such as the display panel, can be electrically connected with the grounding end of the whole machine through the grounding connection terminal, the second conductive layer 102, the conductive adhesive layer 201 and the first conductive layer 202, so as to realize the grounding of the device, such as the display panel.
It should be noted that, in general, the ground connection terminal is located on the surface of the flexible printed circuit board body 10, i.e. the second insulation layer 103, so as to be electrically connected to the bonding device, e.g. the display panel, and therefore, the second conductive layer 102 and the ground connection terminal need to be electrically connected through the trace inside the flexible printed circuit board and the via hole penetrating through the second insulation layer 103.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first windows 2030 on the first insulating layer 203 may be one, or two or more, so that the exposed second conductive layer 102 on the flexible printed circuit board, i.e. the exposed copper region, is electrically connected to different functional interfaces according to the requirement of practical application. As shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic top view of a flexible printed circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention, when an electronic product has two overall ground terminals, the flexible printed circuit can be electrically connected to the two overall ground terminals through the first conductive layers 202 at the two first windows 2030, respectively.
Therefore, when the electronic product falls to cause the first conductive layer 202 at one first window 2030 to be separated from the ground terminal of the whole machine, the first conductive layer 202 at the other first window 2030 and the ground terminal of the whole machine can be ensured, thereby improving the reliability of the electronic product. The electronic product can be applied to the fields of military industry three prevention, outdoor exploration and the like. In addition, the flexible printed circuit board is electrically connected to a plurality of functional interfaces, such as a grounding terminal of the whole machine, through the first conductive layers 202 at the plurality of first windows 2030, so that the transmission resistance of signals can be reduced, and the transmission strength of signals can be improved.
In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second insulating layer 103 may have one second window 1030, or may have two or more second windows 1030, where different second windows 1030 expose different areas of the second conductive layer 102, or different second windows 1030 expose different film layers of the second conductive layer 102, such as one second window 1030 exposing the first second conductive layer 102 and another second window 1030 exposing the second conductive layer 102. Based on this, the number of the first windows 2030 of the first insulating layer 203 needs to correspond to the number of the second windows 1030 of the second insulating layer 103, so as to electrically connect different functional interfaces with different second windows 1030 through the first windows 2030.
It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the windowing transfer film 20 may cover the entire surface of the flexible circuit board body 10 to ensure the flatness of the surface of the flexible circuit board, but some surfaces are excluded from areas having electronic devices (such as capacitors, resistors, etc.) or connection terminals (ground connection terminals), that is, as shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic top view structure diagram of the flexible circuit board according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the windowing transfer film 20 further includes at least two hollow areas B1 and B2, in a direction Y perpendicular to the flexible circuit board, projections of the hollow areas B1 and B2 overlap projections of the electronic devices or the connection terminals on the flexible circuit board.
As shown in fig. 10, the projections of the hollow areas B1 and B2 overlap with the projection of the connection terminals on the flexible printed circuit board, that is, the windowing transfer film 20 exposes the connection terminals on the flexible printed circuit board, and based on this, the windowing transfer film 20 does not affect the binding electrical connection between the connection terminals on the flexible printed circuit board and the connection terminals on the display panel. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the windowing transfer film 20 may also be attached to the surface of the connection terminal, the first conductive layer 202 is electrically connected to the connection terminal through the conductive adhesive layer 201, but the first window 2030 needs to expose all the connection terminals in the area where the connection terminal is located to ensure the flatness of the surface of each connection terminal so as not to affect the flatness of the bonding area between the connection terminal and the display panel, and the first conductive layer 202 electrically connected to each connection terminal is disconnected or insulated so as not to short-circuit between the connection terminals.
In addition, the projection of the hollow area needs to overlap with the projection of the electronic device on the flexible circuit board, for example, the windowing transfer film 20 needs to expose the electronic device such as a capacitor or a resistor welded on the flexible circuit board, so as to prevent the first insulating layer 203 in the windowing transfer film 20 from affecting the heat dissipation of the electronic device such as the capacitor or the resistor.
Of course, the invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the windowing transfer film 20 may only cover a part of the surface of the flexible circuit board body 10, that is, only the purpose of transferring the exposed copper region is achieved, so as to reduce the cost and the occupied space of the windowing transfer film 20.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional structure view of a flexible printed circuit board according to another embodiment of the present invention, and a sidewall of the second insulating layer 103 at the second window 1030 is an inclined sidewall. If the sidewall of the second insulating layer 103 at the second window 1030 is a vertical sidewall, the vertical sidewall cannot be completely attached to the conductive adhesive layer 201 during the process of attaching the conductive adhesive layer 201 to the second insulating layer 103, although the vertical sidewall can be attached to the conductive adhesive layer 201 by pressing the conductive adhesive layer 201 into the second window 1030, as shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of the flexible printed circuit board according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the pressing force is insufficient, air in the gap between the vertical corner of the vertical sidewall and the conductive adhesive layer 201 may not be completely discharged during the attaching process, as shown in the dashed-line frame in fig. 12, there may still exist bubbles between the vertical sidewall and the conductive adhesive layer 201, which may cause the vertical sidewall and the conductive adhesive layer 201 that are not completely attached to be easily torn when the flexible printed circuit board is bent, causing the windowed transfer film 20 to fall off, affecting the application of the flexible circuit board.
And the side wall of the second insulating layer 103 at the second windowing portion 1030 is an inclined side wall, so that the inclination angle of the side wall can be increased, air between the inclined side wall and the conductive adhesive layer 201 can be completely discharged, the inclined side wall and the conductive adhesive layer 201 can be completely attached, the inclined side wall and the conductive adhesive layer 201 are not easy to tear, the windowing transfer film 20 cannot easily fall off, and the reliability of the flexible circuit board is enhanced. Moreover, the side wall of the second insulating layer 103 at the second window 1030 is an inclined side wall, so that the adhering area of the conductive adhesive layer 102 and the flexible circuit board body 10 can be increased, and the conductive adhesive layer 102 and the flexible circuit board body 10 are adhered more firmly. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a flexible printed circuit board according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the adhesion force between the conductive adhesive layer 102 and the flexible printed circuit board body 10 can be increased by coating the conductive adhesive 30 in the second window 1030.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible circuit board may be a circuit board that does not need to be bent, but in other embodiments, the flexible circuit board disposed in the electronic device is a circuit board that needs to be bent, as shown in fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic view of a top view structure of a flexible circuit board provided in another embodiment of the present invention, and the flexible circuit board has a bending region a1 and a first non-bending region a2 and a second non-bending region A3 located at two opposite sides of the bending region a 1. In some embodiments, the windowed transfer film 20 is located in the first non-bending zone a2 or the second non-bending zone A3.
Of course, the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, for example, the flexible printed circuit board may be bent along the bending region a1 when being mounted, but after being mounted, the windowing transfer film 20 may be located at the bending region a1 when the flexible printed circuit board is not bent along the bending region a 1. Alternatively, the windowing transfer film 20 located in the bending region a1 may be designed to resist bending, for example, the windowing transfer film 20 in the bending region a1 may have a plurality of discontinuous grooves, so that when the flexible circuit board is bent, the tensile stress of the windowing transfer film 20 can be reduced by stretching the plurality of grooves, and the bending resistance of the windowing transfer film 20 can be further improved. Of course, in other embodiments, other ways to improve the bending resistance of the windowing transfer film 20 may be adopted, and are not described herein again.
It should be noted that, in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, only one shape of the flexible circuit board is taken as an example for illustration, and not limited thereto, in practical applications, the shapes of the flexible circuit boards may be different for different electronic products, and the shapes of the windowing transfer film 20 may also be different, and are not described in detail herein.
