Abstract
In order to provide an anisotropic conductive adhesive agent which is capable of including a predetermined number of conductive particles between the terminals to be connected in a sure manner and which improves the conductive reliability, a plurality of conductive particles 3 included in the insulating adhesive agent 2 of the anisotropic conductive adhesive agent 1 are non-uniformly provided on the one side of the two adhering surfaces of the insulating adhesive agent 2. At the time of positioning the anisotropic conductive adhesive agent 1 between the two terminals, if the adhering surface, which is the one to which the conductive particles 3 are non-uniformly provided, is disposed to the side of the terminal, which is the one having a smaller dimension of protrusion toward the adhesive side of two terminals, it prevents the conductive particles 3, which are not positioned there, from being pressed out, even in the case that the insulating adhesive agent 2 is pressed out toward a lateral side by the terminals having a greater dimension of protrusion, at a time of thermal compression bonding. Accordingly, the predetermined number of conductive particles 3 can be included between each of the terminals, thereby improving conductive reliability.

- (First Embodiment)
- FIG. 1 shows the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 has an insulatingadhesive agent 2 and a plurality ofconductive particles 3. Theconductive particles 3 are provided on one of the adhering surfaces of the insulatingadhesive agent 2, and covered with a coatingadhesive agent 4. - The
conductive particles 3 may be: solder particles; single metal particles such as Ni, Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Sn, or the like; complex metal particles of mixtures, alloys, or electroplating of multiple metals; particles formed by electroplating of plastic particles (polystyrenes, polycarbonates, acrylics, divinyl benzene resins) with a single or a plurality of Ni, Au, Cu, Fe, etc.; carbon particles; etc. - Also, the insulating
adhesive agent 2 and coatingadhesive agent 4 may be of an identical adhesive agent or different adhesive agents. Specifically, they are single or a multiple mixture or a compound of styrene butadiene styrenes (SBS), epoxies, acrylics, polyesters, urethanes, etc. - Incidentally, the particle diameter of the conductive particles3 (measurement A in FIG. 1) is approximately 2 to 10 μm, and the film thickness (measurement B in FIG. 1) of the
adhesive agent 2 is approximately 12 to 30 μm. Also, the coatingadhesive agent 4 coated on theconductive particles 3 coats theconductive particles 3 with a thin film thickness of around 1 to 3 μm. - The anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 with such a structure is formed according to the procedures shown in FIG. 3. - That is to say, firstly, the insulating
adhesive agent 2 is formed according to a predetermined film thickness and width dimensions. Then, as shown in FIG. 3(A), theconductive particles 3 are sprinkled on one of the adhering surfaces of the insulatingadhesive agent 2, and are fixed. As for the method of sprinkling theconductive particles 3, various methods can be employed, such as the dry method in which theconductive particles 3 are sprinkled by air flow, static electricity, free falling, etc., the wet method in which theconductive particles 3 are mixed into a solvent and sprayed, the printing method, etc. At this time, it is preferable that theconductive particles 3 be sprinkled such that there are two or less rows (one overlapping on another) in the direction of thickness of the insulatingadhesive agent 2, and more preferable, such that there is only one row (noconductive particles 3 overlapping on other conductive particles 3). Hence, it is preferable, for example, to charge theconductive particles 3, so that theconductive particles 3 repel each other and are sprinkled without overlapping one another. - Then, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the
adhesive agent 4 is applied to theconductive particles 3 by means of the spraying method or printing method or the like, thus coating theconductive particles 3. - Such an anisotropic conductive adhesive agent according to the first embodiment is advantageous in that:
- [1] The
conductive particles 3 are unevenly dispersed to one of the adhering surfaces of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1. Accordingly, it is possible to preventconductive particles 3 from flowing toward the terminal 12 (see FIG. 2) when the terminal 14 is pressed into the adhesive agent, by means of positioning one of the adhering surfaces, which is the one having theconductive particles 3 unevenly dispersed thereon, to the side of the terminal 12 with smaller protrusion dimensions out of theterminals anisotoropic agent 1. As a result, a predetermined number ofconductive particles 3 can be included between theterminals terminals - [2] The
conductive particles 3 are disposed in one row in the direction of film thickness of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1, so the number ofconductive particles 3 included between theterminals terminals conductive particles 3 sprinkled per unit area. Accordingly, the number ofconductive particles 3 included between theterminals - [3] Also, the
adhesive agent 2 pressed out to the lateral side of the terminal 14 by the terminal 14 is filled into the gap between theterminals glass substrate 11 andTAB 13 can be obtained. At this time, the amount ofadhesive agent 2 flowing out can be controlled with high precision by the volume of the terminal 14 etc. Accordingly, the amount ofadhesive agent 2 flowing out can be adjusted such that strong adhesion strength can be obtained but not too excessive amount ofadhesive agent 2, which causes of the remaining residual stress, is not filled. - [4] Upon manufacturing of the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1,conductive particles 3 are sprinkled to one of the adhering surfaces of the insulatingadhesive agent 2, as a result, the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 which hasconductive particles 3 unevenly dispersed on the side of the one of the adhering surfaces can be manufactured easily and with sure manner, and manufacturing costs can also be reduced. - [5] The
conductive particles 3 are sprinkled on the insulatingadhesive agent 2, so theconductive particles 3 which are sprinkled can be temporarily fixed with theadhesive agent 2, thereby theconductive particles 3 are prevented from moving after the sprinkling, as a result, uniform positioning is realized. Theconductive particles 3 are coated with theadhesive agent 4, so theconductive particles 3 sprinkled on the surface of the insulatingadhesive agent 2 can be prevented from coming loose, thereby also the incidence of defective articles can be reduced. - (Second Embodiment)
- Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the portions which are identical or equivalent to those in the abovedescribed first embodiment are provided with the same reference numerals, and description thereof is either omitted or simplified.
- The second embodiment discloses the case wherein the method of manufacturing the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 is the main difference from that of the above embodiment. - That is, in order to manufacture the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 according to the present embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 7,conductive particles 3 are applied dispersedly to thebase material 21 used as a peeling sheet (separator) by means of sprinkling. As for the method of this sprinkling of theconductive particles 3, the various methods can be used as same as the above first embodiment, but it is particularly preferable to use the printing method or spray-coating method in order to temporarily fix theconductive particles 3 upon thebase material 21. - Then, as shown in FIG. 7(B), the insulating
adhesive agent 2 is applied to thebase material 21 upon which theconductive particles 3 have been sprinkled, by means of the printing method or spraying method. - The anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 manufactured as mentioned above has thebase material 21 which is the separator. Firstly, thebase material 21 is peeled away as shown in FIG. 7(C), and then theadhesive agent 1 is disposed between theterminals conductive particles 3 are unevenly dispersed (the lower side in FIG. 7) faces the terminal 12, as same as the first embodiment shown by FIG. 2. Then, thermal compression bonding or the like is carried out, and theconductive particles 3 are included between the terminals 12 (see FIG. 2) and 14, thereby conduction between them are realized. - This second embodiment also has the same advantages as [1] through [3] in the above first embodiment.
- [6] Further, regarding the manufacturing of the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1, after theconductive particles 3 are sprinkled on the base material (separator) 21, the insulatingadhesive agent 2 is applied thereupon. As a result, an anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 which hasconductive particles 3 unevenly dispersed to one of the adhering surfaces can be manufactured easily with a sure manner, and manufacturing costs can also be reduced. - [7] Also, regarding the manufacturing of the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1, only one step is required to apply theadhesive agent 2, and so manufacturing efficiency is improved over the above first embodiment in whichadhesive agents - [8] Further, the
conductive particles 3 are covered with thebase material 21. Accordingly, if thebase material 21 is left until when the anisotropicconductive agent 1 is used, theconductive particles 3 can be protected by thebase material 21, thereby theconductive particles 3 are prevented from peeling away or coming loose, and the incident of defective articles is reduced. - (Third Embodiment)
- FIG. 2 is an example of adhesion of a
TAB 12 and liquidcrystal panel substrate 11 using the anisotropic conductive adhesive agents described in the first and second embodiments. Also, FIG. 3 is an overall construction diagram of the liquid crystal device according to the present embodiment. - As shown in FIG. 2, anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 is positioned between the terminal 12 provided upon theglass plate 11 of the liquid crystal panel and the terminal (bump) 14 of theTAB 13. - The terminal12 is formed of ITO or metal wiring, and the dimensions of protrusion toward the side of the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 is thin, about 0.1 to 3 μm. On the other hand, the dimensions of protrusion of thebump 14 is thick, about 20 to 30 μm. Accordingly, the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 is positioned such that the adhering surface, to which theconductive particles 3 are unevenly dispersed (lower side in FIG. 2), faces theinput terminal 12. - Then, the
terminals adhesive agent 1 by thermal compression bonding or the like, and theconductive particles 3 are included between theterminals adhesive agent 2, although theadhesive agent 2 flows to the lateral side,conductive particles 3 are not positioned in the aforementioned part of theadhesive agent 2, but rather are positioned to the side of the terminal 12 which hardly moves theconductive particles 3 andadhesive agents conductive particles 3 do not flow out from between theterminals conductive particles 3 remain between theterminals terminals 12 and. 14 positioned at a certain pitch is filled with theadhesive agent 2, which includes the adhesive agent flowed out due to the terminal 14, thereby theglass substrate 11 andTAB 13 is adhered securely. - By means of such procedures, a liquid
crystal display device 100, in which aliquid crystal panel 10 is adhered to aTAB 13, which is equipped with a liquidcrystal driver IC 15, by anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 is formed, as shown in FIG. 4. - (Fourth Embodiment)
- FIG. 9(A) is a cross-sectional diagram (before adhesion) of a liquid crystal device according to the so-called COG method, in which a liquid
crystal driver IC 15 and liquidcrystal panel substrate 11 are directly adhered using the anisotropic conductive adhesive agent described in the first and second embodiments, and FIG. 9(B) is a drawing showing the arrangement after the adhesion. - As shown in FIG. 9(A), the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 is positioned between the terminal 12 provided upon the glass substrate of the liquid crystal panel, and the terminal (bump) 16 of the liquidcrystal driver IC 15. - The terminal12 is formed of ITO or metal wiring, and the dimensions of protrusion toward the side of the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 is thin, about 0.1 to 3 μm. On the other hand, the dimensions of protrusion of the terminals (bump) 16 of the liquid crystal driver IC is thick, about 10 to 28 μm. Accordingly, the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 is positioned such that the adhering surface, to which theconductive particles 3 are unevenly dispersed (lower side in FIG. 9), faces theinput terminal 12 of the liquidcrystal panel substrate 11. - Then, the
terminals 12 and 16 are pressed into the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 by thermal compression bonding or the like, and theconductive particles 3 are included between theterminals 12 and 16, thereby the conduction between them is realized. At the time of pressing the terminal 16 into the insulatingadhesive agent 2, although theadhesive agent 2 flows to the lateral side,conductive particles 3 are not positioned in the aforementioned part of theadhesive agent 2, but rather are positioned to the side of the terminal 12 which hardly moves theconductive particles 3 andadhesive agents conductive particles 3 do not flow out from between theterminals 12 and 16, and the predetermined number of theconductive particles 3 remain between theterminals 12 and 16. Further, the gap between theterminals adhesive agent 2, which includes the adhesive agent flowed out due to the terminal 16, thereby theglass substrate 11 andTAB 13 are adhered securely. - By means of such procedures, a liquid
crystal display device 110, in which aliquid crystal panel 10 is adhered to a liquidcrystal driver IC 15 by anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1, is formed, as shown in FIG. 10. The wirings are omitted in FIG. 10. - (Fifth Embodiment)
- The
liquid crystal devices casing 201 for acellular telephone 200 as shown in FIG. 5, or assembled intocasing 301 for anotebook computer 300 as shown in FIG. 6. - Although the present invention has been described with the first through fifth embodiments, the present invention is not restricted to these embodiments. The present invention includes modifications and improvements capable of achieving the objects of the present invention.
- For example, in each of the aforementioned embodiments, the
conductive particles 3 are positioned at the outermost surface of one of the adhering surfaces of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1, but instead, theconductive particles 3 may be positioned further inwards from the outermost surface as shown in FIG. 8(A) in other words, arrangement is applicable as long as theconductive particles 3 are provided at a any position between the center of the film thickness direction of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1, and the either adhering surface side. - In this case, the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 can be formed by sprinkling theconductive particles 3 on the insulatingadhesive agent 2, and then applying the insulatingadhesive agent 2 thicker than the coatingadhesive agent 4 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8(B), such an anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 allows theconductive particles 3 to be positioned in accordance with the connection position of theterminals conductive particles 3 with the insulatingadhesive agent 2 due to the each of theterminals conductive particles 3 remain between theterminals - However, as to the terminal12 or the like formed of ITO film or the like, in view of their extremely small height dimensions, so generally, as described in the first and second embodiments, it is more advantageous to provide the
conductive particles 3 at the outermost surface of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1, because the movement of theconductive particles 3 at the time of connecting theterminals conductive particles 3 between theterminals conductive particles 3 in the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 is reduced, still high reliability in conduction can be obtained, so the cost of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 can be reduced, and connections with even finer pitches can be dealt with. - Also, according to the above second embodiment, the
base material 21 is not restricted to a separator, but metal plates used in the manufacturing equipment for manufacturing the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 etc., may be used. Such an anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 manufactured on thebase material 21 for manufacturing can be peeled away from thebase material 21 for use. - Further, the anisotropic conductive
adhesive agent 1 according to the present invention is not restricted to one which is used in continuity between the terminal 12 of theglass 11 for liquid crystal panel and theterminal 14 of theTAB 13, or other one used in continuity between the terminal 12 and the terminal 16 of theIC 15; but rather includes the one which can be widely used for continuity between various types of electrical parts. Accordingly, the material, size (film thickness and particle diameter), etc., of the insulatingadhesive agent 2 andconductive particles 3 of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 should be set according to the type of adherends. Hence, the electronic equipment, which is applicable to use the anisotropic conductiveadhesive agent 1 according to the present invention are not restricted to such having the liquidcrystal display device 100, such as the cellular telephone 200 (FIG. 5) or the notebook computer 300 (FIG. 6), but rather includes the various types of electronic equipment without liquid crystal display devices, as well.
