Description

本発明は、電子機器における双方向通信などに用いられる光通信モジュールに関する。   The present invention relates to an optical communication module used for bidirectional communication in an electronic device.

ノートパソコン、携帯電話、電子手帳などの電子機器における双方向通信には、発光素子および受光素子を備えた光通信モジュールが用いられている。このような光通信モジュールには、たとえばIrDA準拠の赤外線データ通信モジュールが含まれる。   An optical communication module including a light emitting element and a light receiving element is used for bidirectional communication in electronic devices such as notebook computers, mobile phones, and electronic notebooks. Such optical communication modules include, for example, IrDA compliant infrared data communication modules.

この種の従来の光通信モジュールの一例を図3に示す(たとえば、特許文献1参照)。同図に示された光通信モジュールXは、ガラスエポキシ樹脂からなる基板91に搭載された発光素子92、受光素子93、駆動IC94、および樹脂パッケージ95を備えている。発光素子92は、赤外線を発光可能に構成されている。受光素子93は、受光面に受けた赤外線の光量に応じた起電力を生じることが可能に構成されている。樹脂パッケージ95は、透明なエポキシ樹脂によって形成されている。樹脂パッケージ95には、発光素子92および受光素子93の正面に位置する2つのレンズ95a,95bが形成されている。発光素子92から発せられた赤外線は、レンズ95aにより指向性を高められて出射される。一方、図中上方から向かってきた赤外線は、レンズ95bにより受光素子93へと集光される。このようにして、光通信モジュールXによる赤外線を用いた双方向通信がなされる。   An example of this type of conventional optical communication module is shown in FIG. 3 (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The optical communication module X shown in the figure includes a light emitting element 92, a light receiving element 93, a driving IC 94, and a resin package 95 mounted on a substrate 91 made of glass epoxy resin. The light emitting element 92 is configured to emit infrared light. The light receiving element 93 is configured to generate an electromotive force according to the amount of infrared light received on the light receiving surface. The resin package 95 is formed of a transparent epoxy resin. In the resin package 95, two lenses 95a and 95b positioned in front of the light emitting element 92 and the light receiving element 93 are formed. The infrared rays emitted from the light emitting element 92 are emitted with the directivity enhanced by the lens 95a. On the other hand, the infrared rays traveling from above in the figure are condensed onto the light receiving element 93 by the lens 95b. In this way, bidirectional communication using infrared rays by the optical communication module X is performed.

しかしながら、たとえば光通信モジュールXを回路基板に実装するときには、光通信モジュールX内に熱応力が発生する。この熱応力が過大であると、受光素子93が基板1から剥離してしまうという問題がある。これにより、受光素子93とたとえば基板91に形成された配線パターン(図示略)との導通が阻害されてしまう。あるいは、受光素子93自体が破損してしまうおそれがある。このようなことでは、光通信モジュールXによる確実な通信を達成し得ない。   However, for example, when the optical communication module X is mounted on a circuit board, thermal stress is generated in the optical communication module X. If this thermal stress is excessive, there is a problem that the light receiving element 93 is peeled off from the substrate 1. As a result, conduction between the light receiving element 93 and, for example, a wiring pattern (not shown) formed on the substrate 91 is hindered. Alternatively, the light receiving element 93 itself may be damaged. In such a case, reliable communication by the optical communication module X cannot be achieved.

基板1は、たとえばガラスエポキシ樹脂により、全体として平面視長矩形状に形成されている。基板1の表面には、発光素子2、受光素子3、および駆動IC4に導通する配線パターン(図示略)が形成されている。基板1には、その表面から裏面にかけて貫く貫通孔1aが形成されている。本実施形態においては、基板1は、その厚さがたとえば0.06〜0.10mm程度とされている。   The board | substrate 1 is formed in planar view long rectangular shape as a whole with glass epoxy resin, for example. On the surface of the substrate 1, a wiring pattern (not shown) that is electrically connected to the light emitting element 2, the light receiving element 3, and the driving IC 4 is formed. The substrate 1 is formed with a through hole 1a penetrating from the front surface to the back surface. In the present embodiment, the substrate 1 has a thickness of about 0.06 to 0.10 mm, for example.

発光素子2は、たとえば、赤外線を発することができる赤外線発光ダイオードなどからなる。発光素子2は、上記基板の上記配線パターンの一部に搭載されている。   The light emitting element 2 is made of, for example, an infrared light emitting diode capable of emitting infrared light. The light emitting element 2 is mounted on a part of the wiring pattern of the substrate.

The light receiving element 3 is disposed so as to close the through hole 1a. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of recesses 3 b are formed in the portion of the light receiving element 3 opposite to the light receiving surface 3 a. The plurality of recesses 3b have a circular cross section, for example, and are formed by laser processing.

駆動IC4は、発光素子2および受光素子3による送受信動作を制御するためのものである。駆動IC4は、ワイヤにより上記配線パターンと接続され、かつ上記配線パターンを通じて発光素子2および受光素子3に接続されている。   The drive IC 4 is for controlling transmission / reception operations by the light emitting element 2 and the light receiving element 3. The driving IC 4 is connected to the wiring pattern by a wire, and is connected to the light emitting element 2 and the light receiving element 3 through the wiring pattern.

A portion of the resin package 5 that fills the through hole 1 a covers the plurality of recesses 3 b of the light receiving element 3. Specifically, a part of the resin package 5 is inserted into each recess 3b. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the resin package 5 other than the part where the lenses 5a and 5b are formed is, for example, about 0.3 mm. The resin package 5 may be configured to have translucency with respect to light of most wavelengths.

次に、光通信モジュールAの作用について説明する。   Next, the operation of the optical communication module A will be described.

本実施形態によれば、受光素子3と樹脂パッケージ5とは、複数の凹部3bと樹脂パッケージ5のうちこれらの凹部3bに入り込む部分とが互いに噛み合うように接合されている。これにより、受光素子3と樹脂パッケージ5との接合力を高めることが可能である。したがって、たとえば光通信モジュールAが実装されるときに熱応力が生じても、受光素子3が樹脂パッケージ5および基板1から剥離することを抑制可能であり、光通信モジュールAの通信を確実に行うことができる。   According to this embodiment, the light receiving element 3 and the resin package 5 are joined so that the plurality of recesses 3b and portions of the resin package 5 that enter these recesses 3b mesh with each other. Thereby, it is possible to increase the bonding force between the light receiving element 3 and the resin package 5. Therefore, for example, even if thermal stress is generated when the optical communication module A is mounted, it is possible to suppress the light receiving element 3 from being peeled off from the resin package 5 and the substrate 1, and the communication of the optical communication module A is reliably performed. be able to.
