Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a component fixing method, a circuit board on which components are fixed using the component fixing method, and a display panel including the circuit board as a component.
  • Display panels such as liquid crystal display panels and organic EL display panels are modularized in combination with components such as driver ICs and flexible wiring boards (FPCs) that drive them.
  • FPCs flexible wiring boards
  • ACF anisotropic conductive film
  • a resin that cures by either ultraviolet light (UV light) or heat is used as an adhesive.
  • ACF is used. After aligning and pressurizing the connection electrode of the liquid crystal display element and the electrode of the TCP or flexible wiring board, UV light is irradiated to the adhesive layer of the ACF from the liquid crystal display element side for a predetermined time and a predetermined amount of light. As a result, the ACF adhesive in the region that is not shielded from light by the connection electrode of the liquid crystal display element becomes highly hard due to the photocuring reaction.
  • the TCP or flexible wiring board is pressurized and heated to perform the main pressure bonding.
  • the electrodes of the TCP or the flexible wiring board and the liquid crystal display element The connection electrode is reliably connected.
  • UV-cured ACF which cures only by UV light
  • the components can be connected and fixed at a relatively low temperature, so that heat hardly damages the components and the substrate.
  • time required to raise the temperature to the target temperature can be shortened, there is an advantage that the production efficiency can be improved.
  • UV-cured ACF also has the following disadvantages.
  • An ACF at a location shielded from light by a wiring portion (in this specification, the term “wiring portion” is used as a concept including both an electrode for electrically connecting components and a wiring for connecting electrodes) is described in Patent Document 1.
  • ACF can be heated and cured, but UV-cured ACF cannot be cured by heating.
  • the ACF at the light-shielding portion is slightly cured by the UV light that is reflected and transmitted inside the ACF, the curing is insufficient and must be positioned as uncured.
  • Uncured ACF cannot exhibit its original performance and causes various problems.
  • the problems include a decrease in adhesion between the component and the substrate, an increase in electrical resistance due to a small resin shrinkage, and a change in hygroscopicity. Since uncured ACF easily absorbs moisture, problems such as corrosion of metal wiring on the substrate surface and increase in electrical resistance due to moisture absorption and swelling of the substrate occur.
  • a predetermined reaction rate varies depending on the type of ACF, but is generally 80% or more.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above points.

Description

部品固定方法、回路基板、及び表示パネル
 本発明は、部品固定方法、前記部品固定方法を用いて部品を固定した回路基板、及び前記回路基板を構成要素に含む表示パネルに関する。
 液晶表示パネルや有機EL表示パネルのような表示パネルは、それらを駆動するドライバICやフレキシブル配線基板(FPC)などの部品と組み合わせてモジュール化される。表示パネルのモジュール化にあたっては、表示パネルの基板表面に形成された電極部に部品を、異方性導電膜(anisotropic conductive film:以下、本明細書及び特許請求の範囲では「ACF」の呼称を用いる)により電気的に接続しつつ物理的に固定するという手法が一般的に採用される。その一例を特許文献1に見ることができる。
 特許文献1に記載された液晶表示装置の製造方法では、液晶表示素子にTCP(tape  carrier package)またはフレキシブル配線基板を接続するに際し、紫外線(UV光)と熱のいずれでも硬化する樹脂を接着剤とするACFが用いられている。液晶表示素子の接続電極とTCPまたはフレキシブル配線基板の電極を位置合わせし、加圧した後、液晶表示素子側よりACFの接着剤層にUV光を所定時間・所定光量で照射する。これにより、液晶表示素子の接続電極で遮光されていない領域のACFの接着剤が光硬化反応で高硬度となる。次いでTCPまたはフレキシブル配線基板を加圧・加熱して本圧着するのであるが、この時、硬化済みの接着剤により導電剤の流動が抑制されるので、TCPまたはフレキシブル配線基板の電極と液晶表示素子の接続電極とが確実に導通する。
特開2000-105388号公報
 特許文献1記載の液晶表示装置の製造方法ではACFの硬化がUV光と熱を両方とも用いて行われており、熱により部品や基板が反るという問題を抱えている。また最近の液晶表示パネルでは狭額縁化を目指して表示部以外の領域をできるだけ縮小する傾向があり、表示部とドライバICの間の距離、またドライバICとFPCの間の距離が非常に縮まってきている。このように距離が縮まるとACFを硬化させるための熱が様々な悪影響を及ぼす。例えば表示が劣化したり、ドライバICやFPCの接続信頼性が低下したりするなどの事象が生じている。
 そこで、最近ではUV光によってのみ硬化が進行するUV硬化ACFが用いられることが多くなっている。UV硬化ACFを用いれば部品の接続固定を比較的低温で行うことができるので、熱が部品や基板にダメージを与えることが少ない。また、目標温度まで温度上昇させるのに要する時間を短縮することができることから製造効率を向上させることができるというメリットがある。
 反面、UV硬化ACFには次のようなデメリットもある。配線部(本明細書では部品を電気的に接続する電極と電極同士を接続する配線の両方を含む概念として「配線部」の語を用いる)によって遮光される箇所のACFは、特許文献1記載のACFであれば加熱して硬化させることができるが、UV硬化ACFは加熱による硬化という手法が使えない。ACFの内部を反射して伝わってくるUV光により、遮光箇所のACFも少しは硬化するが、その硬化は不十分であり、未硬化と位置づけざるを得ない。
 未硬化のACFは本来の性能を発揮できず、様々な問題を引き起こす。その問題とは、部品と基板の密着力の低下、樹脂の硬化収縮が小さいことによる電気抵抗の上昇、吸湿性の変化などである。未硬化のACFは吸湿しやすいため、基板表面の金属配線が腐食する、基板が吸湿して膨潤することで電気抵抗が上昇する、などの不具合が発生する。信頼性の高い部品実装を実現するためには、ACFの全領域にわたり所定の反応率を超えさせ、硬化させることが必要である。所定の反応率とは、ACFの種類によって異なるが、80%以上であることが一般的である。
 本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたものであり、UV硬化ACFで部品を基板に固定するに際し、配線部によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACFにもUV光を直接照射して、未硬化のACFが残ることのないようにすることを目的とする。
 本発明に係る部品固定方法は、UV光が透過可能な基板に配線部を形成し、部品をUV硬化ACFで前記配線部に電気的に接続すると共に当該基板に固定する部品固定方法であって、以下の工程を含むことを特徴としている。すなわち、前記部品に圧力を加えることにより前記UV硬化ACFに流動を生じさせる工程、及び、前記配線部によって遮光される箇所の前記UV硬化ACFにも前記基板の裏面よりUV光を直接照射する工程である。

 上記構成の部品固定方法は次の工程を含むことが好ましい。すなわち、前記UV硬化ACFの流動開始前にUV光の照射を遂行する工程である。

 本発明によると、部品に圧力を加えることによりUV硬化ACFに流動を生じさせ、配線部によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACFにも基板の裏面よりUV光を直接照射するから、UV光が照射されないため未硬化のまま残るACFを一掃し、ACFが未硬化であることにより生じる不都合を解消することができる。

 以下、図1から図4までの図面に基づき本発明に係る部品固定方法の概要を説明する。
 本発明に係る部品固定方法は部品固定装置1を用いて遂行される。部品固定装置1の主体をなすのは水平なステージ2である。ステージ2はガラス等のUV光透過材料からなるステージ中央部2aを金属製のステージ周辺部2bで支える構造となっている。
 図1に示す通り、ステージ中央部2aの上にはUV光が透過可能な基板10が載置される。基板10として例示されているのは液晶表示パネルのTFTガラス基板である。基板10の表面には電気抵抗の低い金属からなる配線部11が形成されており、配線部11を覆うようにUV硬化ACF12が貼り付けられる。配線部11は光を通さず、UV光にとり遮光部となる。
 UV硬化ACF12は両面粘着テープのように図示しないセパレータに貼り付けられ、リール状に巻かれて供給される。セパレータは連続した帯状であるが、UV硬化ACF12には所定間隔で切り込みが入れられている。切り込みから切り込みまでのUV硬化ACF12の所定長さの部分を基板10に当てて、上からセパレータ越しに熱と圧力を加える。するとUV硬化ACF12が基板10に貼り付く一方で、セパレータはUV硬化ACF12から分離し、UV硬化ACF12のみが基板10に綺麗に転写される、という仕組みである。
 図2に示す通り、UV硬化ACF12の上面に部品が載置される。部品はFPCやTCPであってもよいが、ここではIC13が例示されている。IC13はCOG(chip on glass)の手法で配線部11に実装される。IC13はこの段階では水平面内での位置を位置決めされた上でUV硬化ACF12に軽く載せられるだけである。IC13の下面には端子部となるバンプ13aが形成されている。バンプ13aを配線部11に電気的に接続し、IC13を物理的に基板10に固定することがUV硬化ACF12の役割である。
 図3に示す通り、IC13をヒーターツール14で加熱する。加熱によりUV硬化ACF12の粘度が下がり、液状化する。すなわちUV硬化ACF12の流動性が高まる。加熱によりUV硬化ACF12の流動性を高めた上で、ヒーターツール14によりUV硬化ACF12を加圧し、UV硬化ACF12を流動させる。UV硬化ACF12の温度が70℃~100℃になるようにIC13を加熱するのがよい。UV硬化ACF12に加える圧力は、熱硬化ACFを用いて熱圧着するときの圧力と同程度でよい。
 ヒーターツール14の熱は、UV硬化ACF12を硬化させるのでなく、流動化させるためだけに用いられるものであり、UV硬化ACF12を硬化させるのに必要な熱よりも熱量が少なくて済む。このため、IC13の実装作業の低温化を図ることができる。実装作業の低温化により、IC13や基板10の反りが抑制される。基板10が表示パネルに含まれるものであれば表示品位が向上する。
 流動化したUV硬化ACF12の中で、配線部11によって遮光される箇所に存在したものはバンプ13aによる圧迫でその箇所から押し出される。IC13の加圧が進行すればIC13自体がUV硬化ACF12を圧迫し出してUV硬化ACF12の内部に大規模流動が生じる。その大規模流動によっても配線部11によって遮光される箇所に存在したUV硬化ACF12がその箇所から押し出される。
 ヒーターツール14からの圧力でバンプ13aが配線部11に接近しつつある中、ステージ2の下方に配置された図示しないUV光源が発光してUV光を発射し、UV硬化ACF12を基板10の裏面側よりUV光で照射する。
 そもそも配線部11で遮光されていなかった箇所のUV硬化ACF12はもちろんのこと、流動が生じなければ配線部11によって遮光される箇所に留まったままであったであろうUV硬化ACF12も、流動が生じることで配線部11によって遮光される箇所から押し出され、UV光が直接照射される。ここで「直接照射」とは、UV硬化ACF12の内部を反射により伝わってきたUV光による照射でなく、UV光源から発射されたUV光が遮るものなく照射することを指す。
 UV光の直接照射によりUV硬化ACF12の硬化が始まる。流動により配線部11によって遮光される箇所に移動するUV硬化ACF12も存在するが、それは配線部11で遮光されていなかった箇所のUV硬化ACF12であり、UV光の直接照射が済んだものであるから、これもまた硬化が始まる。
 上記の通り、「配線部によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACF」という言葉には二通りの意味がある。その1は「流動が生じなければ配線部によって遮光される箇所に留まったままであろうにもかかわらず、流動が生じたことにより配線部によって遮光される箇所から押し出されることになったUV硬化ACF」である。その2は「配線部によって遮光されていない箇所にあったが、流動が生じることにより配線部によって遮光される箇所に移動することとなったUV硬化ACF」である。いずれの意味のUV硬化ACF12であっても、そのUV硬化ACF12には直接UV光が照射されるから、未硬化のまま残るところだったUV硬化ACF12が排除され、UV光ACF12が未硬化であることにより生じる不都合を解消することができる。
 図4はIC13の加熱及び加圧とUV硬化ACF12に対するUV光の照射を終了した段階を示している。IC13と基板10の間でUV硬化ACF12の充填不足が生じないようにするため、UV硬化ACF12の厚みはバンプ13aの高さよりも大となるように設計されている。このため、バンプ13aが配線部11に接近するところまでIC13を加圧すると、排除対象となる余剰のUV硬化ACF12が発生する。余剰のUV硬化ACF12はIC13の外側に排除され、バンプ13aと配線部11はUV硬化ACF12を介して電気的に接続される。
 図5はUV硬化ACF12の内部の導電性粒子15が配線部11とバンプ13aの間に挟み付けられ、偏平化されて、配線部11とバンプ13aの間に導通が生じている状態を観念的に示すものである。この状態はUV光の照射によってUV硬化ACF12が硬化することで維持される。
 ここで、IC13の加熱とUV光の照射のタイミングの設定が、IC13の固定にどのような影響を及ぼすかを図6から図8のガントチャートを用いて説明する。図6のタイミング設定を第1実施形態、図7のタイミング設定を第2実施形態、図8のタイミング設定を第1比較例とする。
<第1実施形態>
 図6ではIC13の加熱に先行してUV光が照射されている。先にUV光を照射されたUV硬化ACF12はその後の加熱で流動性が高まり、加圧により流動することになる。
 UV硬化ACF12が流動を開始する前にUV光を照射することで、十分にUV光を吸収したUV硬化ACF12を移動させることができる。但しUV光吸収量が多いとUV硬化ACF12の硬化が進んで粘度が上がり、その後の加熱では流動化しなくなる。UV硬化ACF12の樹脂材料にもよるが、UV光の照射開始から加熱開始までのタイムラグは1秒以下とすることが好ましい。
<第2実施形態>
 図7ではIC13を加熱してからUV光が照射されている。加熱後の加圧で流動を開始したUV硬化ACF12は流動を続けつつUV光を照射され、UV光を吸収する。UV光の照射によりUV硬化ACF12が硬化すれば、加熱及び加圧が完了していなくてもUV硬化ACF12の流動は停止する。
 UV硬化ACF12の樹脂材料にもよるが、UV光の照射時間は3秒~10秒程度、加熱開始からUV光照射までのタイムラグは1秒以下とすることが好ましい。
<第1比較例>
 図8ではIC13の加熱及び加圧が終わりかけてUV硬化ACF12が流動を停止してからUV光が照射されている。この場合はUV硬化ACF12の流動が停止しているためUV光を照射されたUV硬化ACF12は移動しない。
 UV硬化ACF12が硬化不十分になるのは、配線部11が遮光するためUV光がUV硬化ACF12に届かないことが原因である。図8のようにUV硬化ACF12が流動を停止してからUV光を照射したのでは、配線部11によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACF12にはいつまでたってもUV光の直接照射が行われなくなってしまう。
 これに対し第1実施形態(図6)と第2実施形態(図7)のUV光照射タイミングでは、配線部11によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACF12が移動するため、どの部分のUV硬化ACF12もUV光の直接照射を受ける箇所を通過する。従って、第1実施形態のようにUV硬化ACF12の流動開始前にUV光の照射を遂行するやり方であっても、第2実施形態のようにUV硬化ACF12の流動中にUV光の照射を遂行するやり方であっても、どちらでも配線部11によって遮光される箇所のUV硬化ACF12にUV光の直接照射を行うことができる
 IC13を加熱した上で加圧すると、IC13と基板10の間に、図9に矢印で示すようなUV硬化ACF12の流動が生じ、余剰のUV硬化ACF12は排除される。しかしながらIC13の中心部に関しては、余剰量の流出はあるが、他の領域からの流入が非常に少ないので、結果として流動から取り残されるUV硬化ACF12a(図9に網掛けで表示)が発生する。流動から取り残されるUV硬化ACF12aの問題点を、第2比較例として図13により説明する。上記問題を解決する構成を、第3~第5実施形態として図10~図12により説明する。
<第2比較例>
 図13において、IC13の中央部を通過する配線部11は、左右に位置する電極を配線が接続する形のものであり、その配線の部分が、流動から取り残されるUV硬化ACF12aの真下に位置している。このようになっていると、流動から取り残されるUV硬化ACF12aが配線部11によって遮光され、未硬化で終わることになってしまう。このような事態を避けるため、配線部11には図10から図12に示す工夫が施される。なお図13及び図10から図12において、11aは図示しないFPCを接続して信号を入力させる信号入力電極部、11bは液晶表示パネルの図示しない表示エリアに接続する出力電極部である。UV硬化ACF12により固定される部品であるIC13は点線で位置のみ示されており、この点線で囲われた箇所がIC13の実装箇所(COG実装箇所)ということになる。
<第3実施形態>
 図10の構成では、IC13の実装箇所の中心を通る配線部11が存在しない。IC13の実装箇所中心に最も近い箇所を通る配線部11であっても、いくらかの距離だけ当該実装箇所の中心から偏倚する形とされる。これにより、流動から取り残されたUV硬化ACF12aは配線部11で遮光されないこととなり、UV光の直接照射を受けて硬化する。
<第4実施形態>
 図11の構成では、IC13の実装箇所の中心を通る幅広の配線部11の中の、当該実装箇所の中心に整列する箇所に、1個の開口部11cが形成されている。開口部11cは矩形で、自身の長手方向を配線部11の長手方向に一致させている。開口部11cを通るUV光で、流動から取り残されたUV硬化ACF12aも直接照射され、硬化する。
<第5実施形態>
 図12の構成では、IC13の実装箇所の中心を通る幅広の配線部11に複数の開口部11cが分散配置されている。複数の開口部11cは、当該実装箇所の中心を含む領域に分散配置される。分散配置された複数の開口部11cのいずれかを通るUV光で、流動から取り残されたUV硬化ACFも直接照射され、硬化する。
 図12では自身の長手方向を配線部11の長手方向に一致させた矩形の開口部11cが3行3列のマトリックス状に配置されているが、この配置は単なる例示であり、発明を限定するものではない。開口部11c同士の間隔は、図12の上下方向においても左右方向においても、0.5mm以下、できれば0.2mm以下であることが好ましい。
 部品の実装により回路基板となる基板10の例として液晶表示パネルのTFTガラス基板を取り上げて説明したが、言うまでもなくそれに限定されるものではない。有機EL表示パネルのガラス基板にも本発明は応用可能である。表示パネルに含まれない、一般の回路基板にも本発明は応用可能である。
 以上、本発明の実施形態につき説明したが、本発明の範囲はこれに限定されるものではない。発明の主旨を逸脱しない限り、種々の変更を加えて実施することができる。
 本発明は表示パネルや一般の回路基板に広く適用可能である。
