Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、光ピックアップ用高周波重畳が搭載されたフレキシブル配線基板の処理装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
光ピックアップによるDVDの書き込み及び再生時に、半導体レーザー素子に、高周波電流を供給して駆動する高周波重畳法が用いられている方法がよく知られている。この高周波重畳モジュールを構成する発振回路部は、IC内にトランジスタ等の能動素子と、外付け部品として、インダクタ(L)、コンデンサ(C)及び抵抗(R)等とを組み合わせて構成され、高周波重畳回路より不要輻射として発信されるノイズが制御回路に混入することにより光ピックアップの動作に影響を与えることがあった。
【0003】
図3は従来に使用されたフレキシブル配線回路の一例を示すブロック図であり、1は記憶媒体に書き込み、または読み取り動作を行うためのレーザービームを放射する半導体レーザー素子であり、レーザー端子1a、1b、1c、1dの四本の端子が設けられている。2は300MHz〜450MHzの高周波を発信させるための重畳IC、3は前記重畳IC2の発信回路に伴う外付けインダクタ(L)、抵抗(R)及びコンデンサ(C)が組み込まれている外付けLRCである。
【0004】
4および5は前記半導体レーザー素子1と前記重畳IC間に接続されるLCフイルタ、6、7、8、9、10は不要な周波数を減衰させるEMIフイルタ、11は各種電気部品が搭載されるフレキシブル配線基板、11a、11b、11c、11dは前記フレキシブル配線基板11内に組み込まれた電気部品からの回路を半導体レーザー素子1の4本のレーザー端子1a、1b、1c、1dに半田付けされる接続部、12は制御回路などに接続するコネクターである。
【0005】
このように構成された各種電気部品は、図3の通り狭いフレキシブル内線基板11内に電気部品を配置された重畳IC2により300MHz〜450MHzの高周波が発信されるが、半導体レーザー素子1とEMIフイルタ6、7、8、9、10までの配線距離が長くなるとともに部品の実装面積が非常に少ないことからアースラインを細く設計せざるを得ず、細くて長い配線パターンはノイズを抑制するのに不向きとなっていた。

【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
最近の光ピックアップは薄型化に移行されており、従来の光ピックアップである厚型においては充分なパターンの強化や適正な部品の配置およびアースラインの強化などで高周波重畳回路により発生するノイズを軽減することが出来た。最近の光ピックアップは薄型化により部品実装面積が非常に少なくなっていることから、適正配置が不可能であることから配線ラインが長くなるとともに、アースラインを太く配置することが出来なくなっている。
【0008】
また、従来のDVDプレーヤー等においては、重畳回路からの不要輻射によるノイズは筐体を板金で電気回路を覆うことでノイズの混入を排除していたが、最近のDVDプレーヤーにおいては筐体がプラスチック化され、不要輻射に弱いものとなっている。
【0009】
このように筐体がプラスチック化されたDVDプレーヤーは、光ピックアップ装置に組み込まれた重畳回路からの不要輻射のノイズを軽減する必要があった。
【0010】
本発明は、斯かる問題を解決した光ピックアップの配線処理装置を提供しようとするものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
半導体レーザー素子の端子に接続する重畳回路を含む電気部品が搭載されるフレキシブル配線基板は、回路を複数に分割するとともに各々接続部を設け、前記半導体レーザー素子の端子に、各々の前記接続部を重ねて接続したものである。
【0012】
【実施例】
図1は本発明を説明する要部のブロック図、図2は図1のブロック図によるフレキシブル配線基板の平面図である。図面番号においては従来例と同一番号を使用し、新規番号のみを説明する。図において、13は半導体レーザー素子1のレーザー端子1a、1b、1c、1dの4本の端子に接続される第1フレキシブル配線基板であり、半導体レーザー素子1のレーザー端子1a、1b、1c、1dに半田付けされる接続部13a、13b、13c、13dが設けられている。
【0013】
14は半導体レーザー素子1に接続される第2フレキシブル配線基板であり、半導体レーザー素子1のレーザー端子1a、1b、1c、1dに半田付けされる接続部14a、14b、14c、14dが設けられ、前記第1フレキシブル配線基板13と前記第2フレキシブル配線基板14とは後述されるが、二つのフレキシブル配線基板に分割されている。
【0014】
このように分割配置された第1フレキシブル配線基板13と前記第2フレキシブル配線基板14は、折り曲げ部15aと折り曲げ部15bとを同時に上面方向にU字型に折り曲げるように整形され、更に折り曲げ部16aと折り曲げ部16bも上面方向にU字型に折り曲げるように整形されている。
【0015】
このように折り曲げられたフレキシブル配線基板は接続部を共に同一方向に揃えることができる。半導体レーザー素子1に接続するには、まず、半導体レーザー素子1の端子1aには前記第1フレキシブル配線基板13に配置されている接続部13aを半田付けし、端子1bには接続部13b、1cには接続部13c、1dには接続部13dが半田付けされる。また、半導体レーザー素子1の端子1aには前記第2フレキシブル配線基板14に配置されている接続部14aを半田付けし、端子1bには接続部14b、1cには接続部14c、1dには接続部14dが半田付けされる。
【0016】
このように接続された第1フレキシブル配線基板13と第2フレキシブル配線基板14は2段に重ねて配置することにより、短い配線パターンで設計することが可能となるとともにコンパクト化が可能となった。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、半導体レーザー素子の端子に接続する重畳回路を含む電気部品が搭載されるフレキシブル配線基板は、回路を複数に分割するとともに各々接続部を設け、前記半導体レーザー素子の端子に、各々の前記接続部を重ねて接続したので、コンパクト化が可能となり、フレキシブル配線基板の配線パターンを短くすることができるとともに、アースラインを大きく配線することができるので、重畳ICに接続される配線パターンからの不要輻射を大きく抑えることができる。
【0018】
また、半導体レーザー素子の端子に半田付けする場合、第1フレキシブル配線基板の接続部を半田付けし、2回折り曲げて第2フレキシブル配線基板の接続部を半田付けしているので半田付け部分が同一面になり半田付けが容易にできるという優れたものである。

[Prior art]
It is well known that a high-frequency superposition method of supplying a high-frequency current to a semiconductor laser element and driving the semiconductor laser element when writing and reproducing a DVD by an optical pickup is used. The oscillation circuit section constituting this high-frequency superposition module is configured by combining an active element such as a transistor in an IC, and an inductor (L), a capacitor (C), and a resistor (R) as external components. In some cases, noise transmitted as unnecessary radiation from the superimposing circuit is mixed into the control circuit to affect the operation of the optical pickup.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, optical pickups have been shifting to thinner ones. For thick optical pickups, the noise generated by the high-frequency superimposing circuit has been reduced by sufficiently strengthening the pattern, arranging appropriate components, and strengthening the ground line. I was able to do it. Recent optical pickups have a very small component mounting area due to a reduction in thickness, so that proper placement is impossible, so that a wiring line becomes longer and a ground line cannot be arranged thicker.
[0008]
In a conventional DVD player and the like, noise caused by unnecessary radiation from a superimposed circuit is eliminated by covering the electric circuit with a sheet metal of the housing, but in recent DVD players, the housing is made of plastic. And are vulnerable to unnecessary radiation.
[0009]
A DVD player having a plastic housing as described above needs to reduce noise of unnecessary radiation from a superimposing circuit incorporated in an optical pickup device.
