Description

  The present invention relates to a board connection structure including a board and a flexible printed board, and an electronic apparatus including the board connection structure.

  Conventionally, a board connection structure for connecting a circuit board and an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) is used, and an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) as a connection member is provided between the circuit board and the FPC.

  In this board connection structure, the conductive portion in the FPC is formed by removing a surface insulating layer and exposing a part of the inner conductive layer. This conductive portion is connected to the circuit board by a connecting portion made of ACF. Here, in order to connect one end of the FPC to another opposing substrate, when a curved portion with the surface opposite to the side where the conductive portion is formed is formed inside, the portion corresponding to the outer edge of the connecting portion is Bending stress is concentrated. For this reason, there is a case where the conductive portion breaks (wiring breaks) at a portion corresponding to the outer edge of the connection portion in the conductive portion (generally, the boundary with the insulating layer).

On the other hand, in order to prevent the conductive part (layer) from cracking in the FPC, a connection structure has been proposed in which a UV curable bond is poured and fixed between the FPC and the substrate.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the flexible printed circuit board 90 is connected to the key board 50 by the anisotropic conductive film 100 on the outer surface 90 a side at one end 90 </ b> A. The flexible printed circuit board 90 is attached to a connector 77 whose other end 90 </ b> B is mounted on the second surface 70 b of the circuit board 70.

On the outer surface 90a of one end 90A of the flexible printed circuit board 90, an FPC side conductive portion 91 is formed as a second conductive portion that is disposed so as to face the key substrate side conductive portion 57. The FPC-side conductive portion 91 is formed by removing the first coverlay 191 as an insulating layer. The FPC side conductive portion 91 is formed by exposing a part of the gold plating layer 193. Further, in the FPC side conductive portion 91, a gold plating layer 193 is disposed outside one side of the copper pattern layer 195, and a second cover 197 is disposed outside the other side. For this reason, when it deform | transforms so that it may curve with the 2nd coverlay 197 side (inner surface 90b side) inside, it becomes easy to produce a crack in the copper pattern layer 195.

  The connection part 95 is configured by an anisotropic conductive film 100 disposed between the FPC side conductive part 91 formed on the flexible printed circuit board 90 and the key board side conductive part 57 formed on the key board 50. . The connecting portion 95 is formed by subjecting the anisotropic conductive film 100 disposed between the FPC side conductive portion 91 and the key board side conductive portion 57 to a thermocompression treatment.

  The anisotropic conductive film 100 is formed corresponding to the shape of the connecting portion 95. The anisotropic conductive film 100 has one surface fixed to the FPC side conductive portion 91 and the other surface fixed to the key substrate side conductive portion 57. In other words, the anisotropic conductive film 100 physically and electrically connects the FPC side conductive part 91 and the key board side conductive part 57.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the flexible printed circuit board 90 is attached to a connector 77 mounted on a circuit board 70 whose other end 90 </ b> B is arranged in parallel with the key body 50 across the case body 60. . As described above, the flexible printed circuit board 90 is configured to have the curved portion 94 that is curved around the curved axis with the inner surface 90b on the inside between the one end 90A and the other end 90B. The bending portion 94 is disposed so as to surround the outer edges of the outer edge of the case body 60 and the outer edge of the circuit board 70.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the bending portion 94 has a protruding portion 110 formed on the connecting portion 95 side of the bending portion 94. The protruding portion 110 is formed by pushing a part of the inner surface 90b of the flexible printed board 90 to the D1 side in the thickness direction D by a contact portion 111 described later.

  The protruding portion 110 is formed to protrude from the second surface 50b of the key substrate 50 toward the D1 side in the thickness direction D (perpendicular direction of the second surface 50b). The protruding portion 110 is formed to protrude to the first surface 50 a side from the second surface 50 b of the key substrate 50.

  The connecting portion 95 side (outer edge 55 side) of the protruding portion 110 is curved so that the outer surface 90a is on the inner side. Specifically, the connecting portion 95 side (outer edge 55 side) of the protruding portion 110 is bent with the outer edge 55 of the key substrate 50 as a fulcrum, and the entire connecting portion 95 side (outer edge 55 side) of the protruding portion 110 is bent. Curved so that the outer surface 90a is on the inside.

  A part of the flexible printed circuit board 90 is pushed up to the D1 side in the thickness direction D by a contact part 111 to be described later to form the protruding part 110, thereby corresponding to the outer edge 55 of the key board 50 in the flexible printed circuit board 90. The portion is pressed against the outer edge 55.

  Here, the key substrate 50 to which the flexible printed circuit board 90 is connected is placed on the flat plate portion 61 in the case body 60 in which a later-described recess 113 and a contact portion 111 are formed. The pressure and deflection caused by pressing each of the operation members 40 </ b> A are not easily transmitted to the circuit board 70 disposed below the case body 60.

  The case body 60 is a conductive member having a shape in which one wide surface of a thin rectangular parallelepiped is opened. The case body 60 includes ribs 62 that are formed substantially perpendicular to the opening-side surface of the flat plate portion 61. The rib 62 is formed to be equal to or sufficiently higher than the height of the tallest electronic component among the various electronic components mounted on the circuit board 70. The rib 62 is formed so as to correspond to the reference potential pattern layer 75 constituting the reference potential portion on the periphery and inside of the flat plate portion 61. Specifically, the rib 62 is formed so as to be disposed on the reference potential pattern layer 75 in a state where the case body 60 is placed on the circuit board 70. Note that the case body 60 may be formed of a metal, a skeleton formed of a resin, and a conductor film formed on the surface thereof.

  The case body 60 is electrically connected to the reference potential pattern layer 75 by contacting the bottom surface of the rib with the reference potential pattern layer 75. The case body 60 is electrically connected to the reference potential pattern layer 75 and has the same potential as the reference potential pattern layer 75. That is, the case body 60 functions as a shield case. The case body 60 serves as a shield case to suppress external noise such as high frequency from acting on various electronic components disposed on the circuit board 70, and to emit from an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit, a CPU circuit, a power supply circuit, and the like. This prevents the generated noise from acting on other electronic components and a receiving circuit connected to the antenna. Specifically, the bottom surface of the rib 62 in the case body 60 is disposed on the reference potential pattern layer 75, so that each circuit described later is surrounded by the rib 62 and covered with a part of the flat plate portion 61. The rib 62 functions as a partition wall in each circuit, and shields each circuit together with a part of the flat plate portion 61.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the flat plate portion 61 is formed with a recess 113 that is recessed toward the D2 side in the thickness direction D. Specifically, a recess 113 is formed in a portion of the flat plate portion 61 that faces the anisotropic conductive film 100 as a connecting member via the flexible printed board 90. The recess 113 is disposed so as to accommodate a portion corresponding to the portion where the anisotropic conductive film 100 (connecting portion 95) is disposed in the flexible printed circuit board 90. The recess 113 is disposed so that a portion corresponding to the FPC-side conductive portion 91 exposed by removing the first coverlay 191 as an insulating sheet in the flexible printed circuit board 90 is accommodated.

  On the outer edge side of the case body 60 in the recess 113, a holding part 114 and a contact part 111 are formed. The sandwiching portion 114 is a planar portion formed so as to be higher on the D1 side in the thickness direction D than the bottom surface of the recess 113. The sandwiching portion 114 is a portion facing the outer edge 55 of the circuit board 70 through the flexible printed board 90.

  The sandwiching portion 114 has a portion on which the inner surface 90b of the flexible printed circuit board 90 is placed and the first cover lay 191 and the second cover lay 197 as insulating sheets in the flexible printed circuit board 90 are disposed on the circuit board 70. It is formed so as to be sandwiched with the outer edge 55 in FIG. The sandwiching portion 114 supports a part of the flexible printed circuit board 90 and restricts the movement of the flexible printed circuit board 90 so as not to move to the D2 side in the thickness direction D.

  The contact portion 111 is formed along the outer edge of the flat plate portion 61 and is formed so as to protrude to the D1 side (the first surface 50a side of the key substrate 50) in the thickness direction D. In the thickness direction D, the contact portion 111 is formed so as to protrude from the second surface 50b of the key substrate 50 toward the first surface 50a. The contact portion 111 is formed in a wall shape on the outer edge side of the flat plate portion 61 with respect to the sandwiching portion 114.

  The contact portion 111 is formed inside the curved portion 94. The contact portion 111 has a curved surface portion 111a that swells toward the flexible printed circuit board 90, which is disposed in contact with the D1 side in the thickness direction D of the corresponding contact portion 111. The flexible printed circuit board 90 is deformed along the curved surface shape of the curved surface portion 111a.

  The abutting portion 111 abuts on the inner surface 90 b of the flexible printed circuit board 90 and supports the flexible printed circuit board 90. Specifically, the abutting portion 111 abuts so as to push up a part of the inner surface 90b of the flexible printed circuit board 90 to the D1 side (first surface 50a side) in the thickness direction D, and in the pushed state, the flexible print The substrate 90 is supported. Thereby, the protrusion part 110 is formed. The contact portion 111 bends a part of the flexible printed circuit board 90 so that the outer surface 90a is on the inner side. The abutting portion 111 is in a state where a predetermined portion of the outer surface 90 a of the flexible printed circuit board 90 is pressed against the outer edge 55 of the key substrate 50. Here, it can be said that the contact portion 111 constitutes a part of the side wall of the recess 113.

  On the circuit board 70, various electronic components and circuits (not shown) including a signal processing unit that processes signals transmitted and received by the antenna 108 are arranged. Various electronic components form a plurality of circuit blocks by a predetermined combination. For example, various circuit blocks including an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit, a power supply circuit, and the like are formed.

  In addition to the various electronic components described above, a reference potential pattern layer 75 constituting a reference potential portion is formed on the first surface 70a of the circuit board 70 on the case body 60 side. The reference potential pattern layer 75 is formed so as to partition each circuit block described above. The reference potential pattern layer 75 is formed by printing a conductive member in a predetermined pattern on the surface of the first surface 70a of the circuit board 70. Further, as described above, the connector 77 is mounted on the second surface 70 b of the circuit board 70. The other end 90B of the flexible printed circuit board 90 is attached to the mounted connector 77.

  A detachable battery lid 2c is provided on one end side (in FIG. 2) of the rear case 2b. After the battery 80 is stored from the outside of the rear case 2b, the battery case 2b is attached to the rear case 2b. In addition, an audio input unit 12 (not shown) for inputting the user's voice is accommodated at one end of the rear case 2b.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit side body 3 includes a front panel 3a, an audio output unit 22, a front case 3b, an audio output unit 22, a display unit 21, and a print to which the display unit 21 is connected. A substrate 85, a rear case 3c, and a rear panel 3d are provided.

  The display unit side body 3 includes a front panel 3a, a front case 3b, a display unit 21, a printed circuit board 85, a rear case 3c, and a rear panel 3d that are stacked. Specifically, the front case 3b and the rear case 3c are arranged so that the inner surfaces of the concave shapes face each other, and are joined so that the outer peripheral edges thereof overlap each other.

A curved portion 94 is provided. Thereby, a force is applied to the region on the connection part 95 side in the flexible printed circuit board 90 in the direction in which the connection in the connection part 95 is peeled off (the direction in which the flexible wiring 190 is bent).

  Here, in the present embodiment, a part of the flexible printed circuit board 90 has a thickness due to the contact portion 111 formed on the outer edge of the case body 60 (the flat plate portion 61) so as to protrude to the D1 side in the thickness direction D. Since the protruding portion 110 is formed by being pushed up to the D1 side in the direction D (the first surface 50a side in the key substrate 50), peeling at the connecting portion 95 and disconnection of the flexible wiring 190 are unlikely to occur.

  Specifically, a part of the flexible printed circuit board 90 is pushed up to the first surface 50 a side from the second surface 50 b of the key circuit board 50, so that the flexible printed circuit board 90 is placed on the outer edge 55 of the key circuit board 50 in the flexible printed circuit board 90. Is pressed. That is, the same effect as the flexible printed circuit board 90 is urged | biased so that the direction in which the connection in the connection part 95 is peeled off may be directed. Thereby, peeling at the connecting portion 95 and disconnection of the flexible wiring 190 are unlikely to occur.

  In addition, since the part on the connection part 95 side in the flexible printed circuit board 90 is always located on the D1 side in the thickness direction D than the connection part 95, the part on the connection part 95 side in the flexible printed circuit board 90 is also provided.
