In recent years, smart watches have come on the market that can be worn in accessible places such as wrists and the end of sleeves of wrists.
This smart watch has the advantage of providing mobility and convenience. However, since the display area is small and the body volume is very small, it is possible to simply check the time or perform simple telephone and other data communication, and there is a problem that the function and the capacity are considerably restricted.
On the other hand, a device required for a smart watch may include various electronic circuit elements. These electronic circuit elements may be integrated into a semiconductor substrate called a semiconductor chip or die. Semiconductor chip packages are employed in electronic products such as computers, mobile devices or data storage.
However, as the demand for the mobility of electronic products such as a smart watch increases, interest in a stack package structure which can be bent or widened is increasing.
As interest in wearable electronics worn on the face, such as a form of eyeglasses requiring mobility, or on the wrist in the form of a watch or bracelet, has increased, Flexible characteristics that can be obtained are required.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a wearable smart device having a semiconductor package structure that does not interfere with functions even when bent or bent, .
Another object of the present invention is to provide a wearable smart device in which various modules having different functions according to the purpose of a user can be selectively packaged in units of a unit.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a wearable smart device that can compensate for such a high-capacity smart device such as a memory module or a battery module by using wireless data communication or wireless charging technology.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wearable smart device including a main body on which a basic module is mounted, at least one auxiliary module mounted thereon, and selectively detachably attached to the main body, A bendable band formed of a material, a connector electrically connecting the body and the band, and a coupler physically connecting the body and the band.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a wearable smart device of the present invention includes a main body on which a basic module is mounted, a bendable band electrically connected to the main body, and auxiliary modules of respective functions selectively mounted on the bend .
According to another aspect of the present invention, a wearable smart device of the present invention comprises a main body on which a basic module is mounted, a band integrally connected to the main body and bent, and a soft semiconductor package so as to be embedded in the band, Wherein the flexible semiconductor package comprises: a flexible PCB including a flexible wiring pattern; a semiconductor die stacked on the flexible PCB and connected to the flexible PCB by wire bonding or flip chip bonding; and And a soft mold for protecting the soft semiconductor die.
As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be expected.
First, the conventional wearable band is manufactured by inserting all the modules and memories in the main body. However, since there is a space limitation, there is a definite limitation in realizing a multifunctional high capacity. However, in the present invention, It is possible to expand the conventional functions by using more modules to suit the purpose and characteristics of the user.
For example, in addition to the basic battery of the main body, a supplementary battery is installed in the band, so that the battery can be expanded. Therefore, even if the basic battery is exhausted, the wearable band can be operated using the battery in the band. This allows charging via a wireless charger without a separate charging cable.
Second, if a flexible substrate is used instead of a rigid substrate to perform the packaging process, the flexible substrate can be wound around the supply roll, and the flexible substrate can be wound around the supply roll, Since a wiring pattern can be formed on a substrate, mass production by a roll-to-roll process is possible.
