具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本公开实施例的附图,对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
柔性电路板上通常可以集成多种信号走线,用于传递不同类型的信号。当柔性电路板上的信号走线的数量种类较多时,例如同时需要具有用于显示信号、触控信号、指纹识别信号等的多种信号走线时,柔性电路板中的布线难度也会增大。对此,柔性电路板往往形成为具有多层走线层,例如具有四层、六层走线层等,从而为多种走线的布置提供便利,使得多种走线可以分布在不同层上,从而降低不同种类的走线之间的相互干扰。但是,在制作具 有多层走线层的柔性电路板的过程中,还需要形成位于相邻走线层之间的绝缘层(以及相应的粘结层),必要时,为了避免不同走线之间的信号串扰,还需要在不同的走线之间形成(电磁信号)屏蔽层,这些都增加了柔性电路板的制作难度。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种柔性电路板,包括主体子电路板和转接子电路板。主体子电路板包括第一转接端、第一走线部分和第二走线部分,第一转接端包括多个第一接触垫,第一走线部分和第二走线部分彼此间隔开且分别与第一转接端的第一组第一接触垫和第二组第一接触垫电连接;转接子电路板包括第二转接端和用于第一功能走线的第三走线部分,第二转接端包括多个第二接触垫,第三走线部分将第二转接端的第一组第二接触垫和第二组第二接触垫电连接;转接子电路板配置为通过将第二转接端的第一组第二接触垫和第二组第二接触垫分别电连接到第一转接端的第一组第一接触垫和第二组第一接触垫,而安装到主体子电路板上。
本公开至少一实施例提供的一种电子装置模板,包括电子装置基板以及上述柔性电路板;电子装置基板包括第一功能电路结构,柔性电路板的第一功能走线电连接第一功能电路结构。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种电子装置,包括上述电子装置模组。
下面通过几个具体的实施例对本公开的柔性电路板及其制作方法、电子装置模组及电子装置进行说明。
本公开一些实施例提供一种柔性电路板,图1为该柔性电路板的平面示意图。如图1所示,柔性电路板10包括主体子电路板100和转接子电路板200。转接子电路板200可安装到主体子电路板100上。
图2为本公开一些实施例中的主体子电路板100的平面示意图。如图2所示,主体子电路板100包括第一转接端101、第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103,第一转接端101包括多个第一接触垫,且这些第一接触垫根据需要划分为多组,以分别与传输不同信号的走线电连接,例如这些第一接触垫排列为一排或多排。第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103彼此间隔开且分别与第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和第二组第一接触垫101B电连接。例如,第一走线部分102包括多条走线,该多条走线的一端与第一转接端101包括的第一组第一接触垫101A中的多个接触垫一一对应电连接;第二走线部分103也包括多条走线,该多条走线的一端与第二组第一接触垫 101B中的多个接触垫一一对应电连接。虽然图中仅示出了第一走线部分102包括的两条走线以及第二走线部分103包括的两条走线,但是本公开的实施例不限于此。
图3A为本公开一些实施例中的转接子电路板200的第一侧的平面示意图。如图3A所示,转接子电路板200包括第二转接端201和第三走线部分202,第二转接端201包括多个第二接触垫,且这些第二接触垫根据需要划分为多组,以分别与传输不同信号的走线电连接,例如这些第二接触垫排列为一排。第三走线部分202将第二转接端201的第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫201B电连接。更具体地,第三走线部分202包括多条走线,这些走线在一端与第一组第二接触垫201A包括的多个接触垫一一对应电连接,在另一端与第二组第二接触垫201B包括的多个接触垫一一对应电连接。虽然图中仅示出了第三走线部分202包括的两条走线,但是本公开的实施例不限于此。
转接子电路板200配置为可通过将第二转接端201的第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫垫201B分别电连接到第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和所述第二组第一接触垫101B,从而可以将转接子电路板200安装到主体子电路板100上。例如在图3A示出的示例中,第一走线部分102、第三走线部分202和第二走线部分103依次电连接以得到第一功能走线,由此电信号可以从第一走线部分102经第三走线部分202被传输到第二走线部分103,或者可以从第二走线部分103经第三走线部分203被传输到第一走线部分102。
例如,图1示出了转接子电路板200通过第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫垫201B与第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和所述第二组第一接触垫101B的配合而安装到主体子电路板100上的情形,在一些实施例中,主体子电路板100和转接子电路板200也可以处于待连接状态,即单独的主体子电路板100和转接子电路板200也在本公开的保护范围之内。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,柔性电路板10还包括第一控制电路结合结构104,第一控制电路结合结构104设置在主体子电路板100上。例如,第一控制电路结合结构104包括多个接触垫,用于安装第一控制电路,该多个接触垫的一部分与第一部分走线102包括的多条走线的另一端一一对 应电连接。第一控制电路结合结构104配置为给第一功能走线提供第一电信号或从第一功能走线接收第一电信号。
例如,第一控制电路可以为驱动IC芯片。将驱动IC芯片结合到柔性电路板的方式(即封装方式)有多种,例如带载封装(Tape Carrier Package,TCP)、膜上芯片(Chip on Film,COF)封装等。在TCP方式中,柔性电路板包括多个接触垫,驱动IC芯片的多个引脚与柔性电路板的多个接触垫一一对应焊接(例如共晶焊),或者通过各向异性导电胶(ACF)一一对应电连接,并且至少通过例如环氧树脂对焊接部分进行保护;为了增加TCP方式下柔性电路板的可弯折性,可以在封装部分形成狭缝(Slit)。在COF封装方式中,柔性电路板包括多个接触垫,驱动IC芯片的多个引脚通过ACF直接压接在柔性电路板的多个接触垫上,使得驱动IC芯片的多个引脚与柔性电路板的多个接触垫一一对应电连接。例如,柔性电路板上用于结合驱动IC芯片的接触垫的大小、排布方式等,可根据不同类型的封装方式或要封装的驱动IC芯片进行相应的调整,例如这些接触垫可以排列为长条形或排列为矩形。本公开的实施例对于驱动IC芯片的封装方式不作限定。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,柔性电路板10的主体子电路板100还包括第二功能走线105,第二功能走线105包括多条走线,第一控制电路结合结构104中的另一部分接触垫与第二功能走线105包括的多条走线一一对应地电连接,此时,第一控制电路结合结构104上安装的第一控制电路还配置为给第二功能走线105提供第二电信号或从第二功能走线105接收第二电信号。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,主体子电路板100还包括第三功能走线106,第三功能走线106包括多条走线,并分别与第一转接端101的第三组第一接触垫101C所包括的多个接触垫一一对应电连接。
例如,如图3B所示,转接子电路板200还包括第四走线部分203,第四走线部分203包括多条走线,并分别与第二转接端201的第三组第二接触垫201C包括的多个接触垫一一对应电连接,由此,第三功能走线106通过第一转接端101的第三组第一接触垫101C和第二转接端201的第三组第二接触垫201C电连接到转接子电路板200的第四走线部分203。例如,图3B示出的是转接子电路板200的第二侧的平面示意图,此时,第三走线部分202和第四走线部分203分别设置在转接子电路板200的两侧,从而可以避免第 三走线部分202和第四走线部分203的信号串扰。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图3A和图3B所示,转接子电路板200还包括第三转接端204,第三转接端204与第二转接端201相对。例如,第三转接端204包括多个接触垫,例如与第四走线部分203的多条走线一一对应电连接,用于与其他电子元件电连接,例如电连接于系统电路板或者用户端等,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,主体子电路板100上的第三功能走线106位于第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103之间,且第三组第一接触垫101C位于第一组第一接触垫101A和第二组第一接触垫101B之间。由此,第三功能走线106与第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103均不交叉,从而避免在主体子电路板100本身上形成交叉的走线,进而可以避免或减弱不同走线之间发生信号串扰,或者避免为防止信号串扰而增加额外的功能层,从而避免电路板结构复杂化;另外,该设计还可以简化主体子电路板100的走线布图,使主体子电路板的制作工艺变得简单。
例如,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,柔性电路板10还包括第二控制电路结合结构107,该第二控制电路结合结构107设置在主体子电路板100上。例如,第二控制电路结合结构107包括多个接触垫,用于安装第二控制电路,该多个接触垫的至少一部分与第三功能走线106的一端一一对应电连接。第二控制电路结合结构107配置为给第三功能走线106提供第三电信号或从第三功能走线106接收第三电信号。例如,第三功能走线106分为两部分,第三功能走线106的一部分电连接在第二控制电路结合结构107与第三组第一接触垫101C之间,第三功能走线106的另一部分电连接在第二控制电路结合结构107与形成于主体子电路板100一侧边缘的接触垫(如下所述)之间。
例如,第二控制电路也可以为驱动IC芯片。第一控制电路和第二控制电路分别用于实现不同的驱动功能。如上所述,该驱动IC芯片结合到柔性电路板的方式例如为带载封装(Tape Carrier Package,TCP)、膜上芯片(Chip on Film,COF)封装等。例如,第二控制电路结合结构108包括多个接触垫,以用于与驱动IC芯片连接。同样地,这些接触垫的大小、排布方式等,可根据不同类型的封装方式或要封装的驱动IC芯片进行相应的调整,本公开的实施例对此不作具体限定。
例如,如图4A和图4B所示,在一些实施例中,第一控制电路结合结构104还可以形成在转接子电路板200上。此时,第三走线部分202分为两部分,第三走线部分202的一部分电连接在第一控制电路结合结构104与第一组第二接触垫201A之间,第三走线部分202的另一部分电连接在第一控制电路结合结构104与第二组第二接触垫201B之间。此时,在主体子电路板100上,第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103分别与第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和第二组第一接触垫101B电连接;在转接子电路板200上,第三走线部分202每一部分的一端与第一控制电路结合结构104电连接,另一端与第一组第一接触垫101A或第二组第一接触垫101B电连接。由此,主体子电路板100上的第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103分别电连接至转接子电路板200上的第一控制电路结合结构104。
例如,在一些实施例中,主体子电路板可以为具有单层走线的单层结构或者具有多层走线的多层结构结构(例如为具有双层走线的双层结构或者具有三层走线的三层结构等),本公开的实施例对此不做限定。
例如,图5A示出了本公开一些实施例提供的一种主体子电路板的截面示意图,该截面图例如是沿图2中的A-A线剖切得到的。在这些实施例中,主体子电路板100为单层结构。
如图5A所示,主体子电路板100包括第一基板1001以及位于第一基板1001一侧叠层的第一走线层1002和第一绝缘层1003。第一走线层1002包括第一走线部分102、第二走线部分103、第二功能走线105、第一转接端101等结构,第一转接端101由第一绝缘层1003暴露。例如,第一绝缘层1003作为保护层,对第一走线层1002提供结构以及电气保护,例如第一绝缘层1003可以通过粘结层(图中未示出)结合到第一走线层1002以及第一基板1001;第一绝缘层1003中形成有开口1013,在开口1013中例如可以对暴露的第一走线层1002中对应于第一转接端101的部分进行表面处理(例如镀覆焊锡层),从而形成图案化的多个接触垫,对应地形成第一转接端101。
例如,图5B示出了本公开一些实施例提供的另一种主体子电路板的截面示意图,该截面图例如是沿图2中的A-A线剖切得到的。在这些实施例中,主体子电路板100为多层结构,下面参考图5B以主体子电路板100具有双层结构为例进行说明,但是本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
如图5B所示,该示例中,主体子电路板100包括第一基板1001、位于 第一基板1001第一侧(图中示出为上侧)且层叠的第一走线层1002和第一绝缘层1003,还包括位于第一基板1001第二侧(图中示出为下侧)且层叠的第二走线层1004和第二绝缘层1005。第一绝缘层1003作为保护层,对第一走线层1002提供结构以及电气保护,例如第一绝缘层1003可以通过粘结层(图中未示出)结合到第一走线层1002以及第一基板1001;第二绝缘层1005作为保护层,对第二走线层1004提供结构以及电气保护,例如第二绝缘层1005可以通过粘结层(图中未示出)结合到第二走线层1004以及第一基板1001。
例如,第一走线部分102、第二走线部分103和第三功能走线106在第一走线层1002和第二走线层1004中交叉排布,即第一走线层1002和第二走线层1004均具有第一走线部分102、第二走线部分103和第三功能走线106,例如第一走线部分102在主体子电路板100的板面上彼此相邻的两条走线可以分别位于第一走线层1002和第二走线层1004,由此便于走线布置,第二走线部分103和第三功能走线106也可以类似地设置;又例如,在一些示例中,第一走线层1002包括第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103,第二走线层1004包括第三功能走线106,即不同的走线层可分别布置不同的功能走线。本公开的实施例对主体子电路板100上的走线布图不作具体限定。
例如,第一转接端101的多个第一接触垫由第一绝缘层1003暴露。例如,类似地,第一绝缘层1003中形成有开口1013,在开口1013中例如可以对暴露的第一走线层1002中对应于第一转接端101的部分进行通过表面处理,从而形成图案化的多个接触垫,对应地形成第一转接端101;类似地,对于位于第二走线层1004中的走线,则可以通过穿过第一基板1001中的过孔1011、第二走线层1004和第一绝缘层1003的开口1013形成转接端。例如,第一基板1001中的过孔1011和第一绝缘层1003的开口1013错位设置,由此在制备工艺中,开口1013位置处较为平坦,易于接触垫的形成。
例如,在一些实施例中,主体子电路板也可以具有三层结构、四层结构等多层结构。此时,主体子电路板上的各部分走线,例如第一走线部分、第二走线部分、第二功能走线和第三功能走线可以在多层走线层中排布。例如,第一走线部分、第二走线部分、第二功能走线和第三功能走线在多层走线层中交替排布,或者分别在不同走线层中排布。本公开的实施例对主体子电路板的走线层的数量以及走线的排布不做具体限定。
类似地,桥接子电路板可以为具有双层走线的双层结构或具有更多层走线的多层结构。
例如,图6A示出了本公开一些实施例的一种转接子电路板200的截面示意图,该截面图例如是沿图3中的B-B剖切得到的。如图6A所示,转接子电路板200包括第二基板2001、位于第二基板2001的第一侧(图中示出为上侧)的第二走线层2002和第二绝缘层2003、位于第二基板2001的第二侧(图中示出为下侧)的第三走线层2004和第三绝缘层2005。同样,第二绝缘层2003和第三绝缘层2005作为保护层,对第二走线层2002和第三走线层2004提供结构以及电气保护,例如第二绝缘层2003和第三绝缘层2005可以通过粘结层(图中未示出)分别结合到第二走线层2002和第三走线层2004。
例如,第二走线层2002包括第三走线部分202;第三走线层2004包括第四走线部分203和第二转接端201,从而第三走线部分202和第四走线部分203设置在不同的走线层中。例如,第二转接端201的多个第二接触垫由第三绝缘层2005暴露,第三走线部分202的两端分别通过开口与第二转接端201的第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫201B电连接。例如,第三走线部分202通过第二基板2001中的过孔2011和第三绝缘层2005中的开口2015暴露并引出,例如通过表面处理形成图案化的多个接触垫,构成转接端。例如,第三绝缘层2005中的开口2015形成在图6A示出的虚线框标示的位置或者形成在其他合适的位置,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。例如,第二基板2001中的过孔2011和第三绝缘层2005的开口2015错位设置,由此在制备工艺中,开口1015位置处较为平坦,易于接触垫的形成。
例如,在另一示例中,图6B示出了本公开一些实施例的另一种转接子电路板的截面示意图,该截面图是例如沿图3A中的B-B剖切得到的。如图6B所示,转接子电路板包括第二基板2001,位于第二基板2001的第一侧的第二走线层2002和第二绝缘层2003以及位于第二基板2001的第二侧的第三走线层2004和第三绝缘层2005。第二走线层2002包括第三走线部分202和第二转接端201,第二转接端201的多个第二接触垫由第二绝缘层2003暴露;第三走线层2004包括第四走线部分203,第四走线部分203通过开口与第二转接端201的第三组第二接触垫201C电连接。例如,位于第四走线部分203通过第二基板2001中的过孔2011和第二绝缘层2003中的开口2013 暴露并引出,例如通过表面处理形成图案化的多个接触垫,构成转接端。例如,第二绝缘层2003中的开口2013形成在图6B示出的虚线框标示的位置或者形成在其他合适的位置,本公开的实施例对此不做限定。例如,第二基板2001中的过孔2011和第二绝缘层2003中的开口2013错位设置,由此在制备工艺中,开口2013位置处较为平坦,易于接触垫的形成。
例如,第二侧相对于第一侧,在将转接子电路板200安装到主体子电路板100时,第二侧相对于第一侧更靠近主体子电路板100。
例如,在图6A和图6B分别示出的转接子电路板200中,转接子电路板200还包括位于第二走线层2002和第三走线层2004之间的屏蔽层2006。屏蔽层2006例如设置在第二基板2001的第一侧或者第二侧,并通过第四绝缘层2007与相邻的走线层绝缘,例如图6A和图6B示出为屏蔽层2006设置在第二基板2001的第二侧,且通过第四绝缘层2007与第三走线层2004绝缘的情况。由此,屏蔽层2006可防止位于转接子电路板200的第二基板2001两侧的走线产生信号串扰。例如,屏蔽层2006以及第四绝缘层2007在对应于转接端的位置具有镂空结构,例如该镂空结构连通于过孔2011,以便于走线的引出并形成转接端。
例如,第二基板2001中还具有另一过孔2021,屏蔽层2006通过过孔2021与第二走线层2002中的接地线电连接,从而屏蔽层2006接地,可起到屏蔽作用;又例如,第四绝缘层2007中具有过孔2017,屏蔽层2006通过过孔2017与第三走线层2004中的接地线电连接,从而屏蔽层2006接地。
例如,在另一实施例中,转接子电路板200还可以具有更多层走线层,例如在第二基板2001的第一侧具有双层走线层,此时,位于第二基板2001的第一侧的各走线可以在上述双层走线层中交替排布或者不同的走线分别设置在不同的走线层中。例如,转接子电路板200还可以在第二基板2001的第二侧也具有双层走线层,此时,位于第二基板2001的第二侧的各走线可以在上述双层走线层中交替排布或者不同的走线分别设置在不同的走线层中。本公开的实施例对转接子电路板200的走线层数以及具体走线形式不作具体限定。
例如,第一基板1001和第二基板2001采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等材料,各走线层可以由铜、银、铝等金属材料或者合金材料制备,各绝缘层采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等绝缘材料,屏蔽层2006可以为铜等金属材料,粘结层采 用环氧树脂或聚乙烯等,本公开对各功能层的材料不作具体限定。
例如,在一些实施例中,转接子电路板200的第二转接端201通过各向异性导电胶、焊接材料或者连接器连接到主体子电路板100的第一转接端101。例如,连接器包括零插入力型(Zero Insertion Force,ZIF)连接器或者板对板型(Board to Board,BTB)连接器等,本公开的实施例对各转接端的连接方式不做具体限定。
例如,在一个示例中,采用板对板型连接器连接主体子电路板100和转接子电路板200。此时,该连接器包括相互配合的公连接器和母连接器。例如,主体子电路板100的第一转接端101设置母连接器,转接子电路板200的第二转接端201设置公连接器,从而通过公连接器和母连接器的插合使转接子电路板200与主体子电路板100连接。
本公开实施例提供的柔性电路板具有主体子电路板和转接子电路板,通过转接子电路板将位于主体子电路板两侧的走线转接,可以避免走线在主体子电路板上交叉,从而可以防止或减弱信号串扰,或者可以避免为防止信号串扰而增加额外的功能层,从而可以避免电路板结构复杂化。本公开的一些实施例中,主体子电路板和转接子电路板具有简单的单层或者双层结构,因此走线布图更简单,可降低主体子电路板和转接子电路板的制作难度。
本公开一些实施例提供一种电子装置模组,图7示出了该电子装置模组的示意图。如图7所示,电子装置模组1包括电子装置基板11以及上述任一的柔性电路板10,电子装置基板11包括第一功能电路结构20。柔性电路板10的第一功能走线(包括第一走线部分102、第二走线部分103和第三走线部分202)电连接第一功能电路结构20。
例如,在一些实施例中,柔性电路板10还包括第二功能走线105,第一功能电路结构20包括第一信号传输部分21和第二信号传输部分22,第一功能走线电连接第一信号传输部分21,第二功能走线105电连接第二信号传输部分22。
例如,在一些实施例中,电子装置基板11还包括第二功能电路结构23,柔性电路板还包括第三功能走线106,第三功能走线106电连接第二功能电路结构23。
例如,在一些实施例中,电子装置基板11为具有显示功能与触控功能的基板,此时,第一功能电路结构20为触控电路结构,第二功能电路结构 23为显示电路结构。在另一些实施例中,电子装置基板11为具有显示功能与指纹识别功能的基板,此时,第一功能电路结构20为指纹识别电路结构,例如该指纹识别电路结构为电容式指纹识别电路,包括交叉设置的检测驱动电极和检测感应电极,第二功能电路结构23为显示电路结构。下面以第一功能电路结构20为触控电路结构为例进行说明。
例如,触控电路结构在电子装置基板11上的设置方式可以是内置式,也可以是外挂式。触控电路结构的形式可以是电容式,例如为互电容式触控电路结构。例如,该互电容式触控电路结构包括沿第一方向延伸的多个第一电极与沿第二方向(与第一方向相交叉)延伸的多个第二电极,两组电极交叉的位置将会形成检测电容,也即这两组电极分别构成了电容的两极。当手指触摸到该触控电路结构时,手指会影响触摸点附近两个电极之间的耦合状态,从而改变了这两个电极之间的检测电容的电容量。根据触控电路结构电容变化量数据以及各个电容的坐标,可以得出每一个触摸点的坐标。在检测电容大小时,横向电极作为触控驱动电路依次发出激励信号,纵向电极作为触控感应电路同时或依次接收信号,这样可以得到所有横向和纵向电极交汇点的电容值大小,即整个触控结构的二维平面的电容大小。因此,触控结构上即使有多个触摸点,也能确定出每个触摸点的真实坐标。
例如,在上述情况下,第一信号传输部分21包括电连接触控电路的触控驱动(Tx)电路的触控驱动走线,第二信号传输部分22包括电连接触控电路的触控感应(Rx)电路的触控感应走线。此时,第一控制电路1041为触控驱动IC,可通过触控驱动走线为触控驱动电路提供激励信号,可通过触控感应走线接收触控感应电路的感应信号,并可基于上述信号判断触控位置并进行响应。例如,触控感应电路与第一控制电路结合结构104的距离更近,即与其上安装的第一控制电路1041,即触控驱动IC的距离更近,因此触控感应电路接受到的感应信号传输至触控驱动IC的路径更短,因此该感应信号受到信号干扰的可能性更小,从而可以使触控操作更加准确。例如,如图所示,触控驱动走线和触控感应走线延伸到电子装置基板11的同一侧(图中的下侧),并且与在该侧边形成的接触垫211和接触垫221分别电连接。
例如,在本公开的其他实施例中,也可以是第一信号传输部分21包括电连接触控电路的触控感应(Rx)电路的触控感应走线,第二信号传输部分22包括电连接触控电路的触控驱动(Tx)电路的触控驱动走线,此时,触 控驱动电路直接电连接至第一控制电路结合结构104,因此触控驱动电路与第一控制电路结合结构104的距离更近,即与其上安装的第一控制电路1041,即触控驱动IC的距离更近,由此,在该实施例中,触控驱动电路中的触控驱动信号受到信号干扰的可能性更小。
例如,柔性电路板10在其一侧(例如图中的上侧)具有接线端110,接线端110上具有多个接触垫,第二走线部分103包括的多条走线的另一端与接线端110中的部分接触垫一一对应电连接,第二功能走线105包括的多条走线的另一端与接线端110中的另一部分接触垫一一对应电连接,而且第三功能走线106包括的多条走线的另一端与接线端110中的再一部分接触垫一一对应电连接。例如,分别电连接到第二走线部分103、第三功能走线106和第二功能走线105的部分接触垫在接线端110间隔设置或者连续设置,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,当第二走线部分103、第三功能走线106和第二功能走线105中走线的数量较多时,与其相连的接触垫可以在接线端110连续布置;当第二走线部分103、第三功能走线106和第二功能走线105中走线的数量较少时,与其相连的接触垫可以在接线端110间隔布置,此时,例如可以形成图7所示的间隔设置的多组接触垫。
例如,接线端110设置在主体子电路板的接线区110A(即图中接线端110下方的斜线区域),例如,接线区110A区只具有走线层和部分绝缘层,而不具有屏蔽层等结构,因此接线区110A具有较高的透明度,当柔性电路板10结合到电子装置基板11的过程中,可以实现清楚对位,以便于柔性电路板10和电子装置基板11的准确电连接。
例如,当将柔性电路板10结合到电子装置基板11时,可以将柔性电路板10侧边的接线端110的接触垫与电子装置基板11侧边的接触垫直接压接在一起,例如,在一些实施例中,将柔性电路板10侧边的接线端110的接触垫与电子装置基板11侧边的接触垫彼此通过例如ACF电连接,从而将柔性电路板10上的第一功能走线与第一信号传输部分21连接的触控驱动走线通过接触垫211电连接、将柔性电路板上的第二功能走线与第二信号传输部分22连接的触控感应走线通过接触垫221电连接,由此将柔性电路板10的第一功能走线和第二功能走线与电子装置基板11的触控电路结构电连接。
例如,第二功能电路结构23,即显示电路结构,包括多条数据线(以及还包括栅线等),该多条数据线分别与像素单元电连接,多条数据线延伸到 电子装置基板11的一侧(图中的下侧),并且与在该侧边形成的接触垫231电连接。对于有机发光二极管(OLED)显示基板的情形,像素单元包括显示驱动电路,例如显示驱动电路包括多个晶体管、电容以及发光器件等,例如形成为2T1C、3T1C或者7T1C等多种形式。例如,当将柔性电路板10结合到电子装置基板11时,柔性电路板10的接线端110上具有的多个接触垫,还将柔性电路板上的第三功能走线与第二功能电路结构23中的数据线通过接触垫231电连接,由此将柔性电路板10的第三功能走线与电子装置基板11的显示电路结构电连接。此时,第二控制电路1071为显示驱动IC,可为显示驱动电路提供数据信号,从而可通过显示驱动IC提供的数据线号控制发光器件的发光状态,实现不同的显示效果。
对于液晶显示(LCD)基板的情形,像素单元包括开关元件和用于控制液晶偏转的第一电极(像素电极)和第二电极(公共电极),该开关元件与第一电极电连接。第二功能电路结构23,即显示电路结构,包括分别连接于像素单元的多条数据线,此时,第二控制电路为显示驱动IC,可通过数据线为像素单元提供不同的数据电压信号,从而控制液晶的扭转状态,实现不同的显示效果。
例如,柔性电路板通过绑定的方式结合在电子装置基板11上,在绑定时,柔性电路板可在绑定于电子装置基板11上之后被弯折到电子装置基板11的背面并被固定,即安装到电子装置基板11的非显示侧,以便于显示屏幕的大屏化设计。
在上述本公开的一些实施例中电子装置基板的柔性电路板中,通过转接子电路板将位于主体子电路板上分别与触控驱动电路电连接的走线部分转接,从而使得在主体子电路板上触控驱动电路与显示驱动电路不相交,并且转接子电路板的双层走线层之间也互相屏蔽,因此可以避免位于转接子电路板两侧的走线的信号串扰,同时,该主体子电路板与转接子电路板的结构简单,走线布图简单,有利于简化其制作工艺。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种电子装置,图8示出了该电子装置的示意图。如图8所示,电子装置2包括上述任一的电子装置模组1,该电子装置模组1包括电子装置基板11以及柔性电路板10。例如,图8中示出的电子装置基板11的上侧为显示侧,下侧为非显示侧;此时,柔性电路板10绑定之后被弯折放置于电子装置基板11的非显示侧,以便于实现显示屏幕的大 屏化设计。
该电子装置2例如可以为手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件,本公开的实施例对此不作具体限定。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种柔性电路板的制作方法,如图9所示,该制作方法包括步骤S101-S103。
步骤S101:提供主体子电路板。
参照图2,主体子电路板100包括第一转接端101、第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103,第一转接端101包括多个第一接触垫,第一走线部分102和第二走线部分103彼此间隔开且分别与第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和第二组第一接触垫电连接101B。
例如,参照图5A,主体子电路板100通过依次在第一基板1001上形成第一走线层1002以及第一绝缘层1003形成。例如,第一基板1001采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等材料,第一走线层1002采用铜、银、铝等金属材料或者合金材料,第一绝缘层1003也采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等材料。例如,首先在第一基板1001上采用溅射等方法形成一层铜金属层,其次对铜金属层进行构图以形成第一走线层1002,然后采用涂覆等方式在第一走线层1002上形成第一绝缘层1003,并在第一绝缘层1003中形成开口以形成转接端等结构。
步骤S102:提供转接子电路板。
参照图3A,转接子电路板200包括第二转接端201和第三走线部分202,第二转接端201包括多个第二接触垫,第三走线部分202的两端分别与第二转接端201的第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫201B电连接。
例如,参照图6A,转接子电路板200通过在第二基板2001的第一侧依次形成第二走线层2002和第二绝缘层2003,然后在第二基板2001的第二侧依次形成第三走线层2004以及第三绝缘层2005而形成。例如,第一基板2001采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等材料,第二走线层2002和第三走线层2004采用铜、银、铝等金属材料或者合金材料,第二绝缘层2003和第三绝缘层2005也采用聚酰亚胺或者聚酯等材料。各走线层以及各绝缘层的形成方式可参见上述实施例,在此不再赘述。
例如,在图6A的示例中,第二转接端201形成于转接子电路板200的 第一侧,此时,可在第二基板2001和第三绝缘层2005中形成开口(或过孔),使得第三走线部分202可通过第二基板2001中的过孔2011和第三绝缘层2005中的开口2015暴露并引出,然后例如通过表面处理形成图案化的多个接触垫,以构成转接端。
例如,参照图6A,在一些实施例中,形成转接子电路板200还包括在第二基板2001的第二侧形成屏蔽层2006以及第四绝缘层2007。例如,屏蔽层2006例如悬空,或配置为可与接地线电连接。由此,屏蔽层2006可防止转接子电路板200上的双层走线层发生信号串扰。例如,屏蔽层2006和第四绝缘层2007在对应于第二基板2001的过孔2011的位置形成有镂空结构,从而引出第三走线部分202。
步骤S103:将转接子电路板安装到主体子电路板上。
参照图1,将第二转接端201的第一组第二接触垫201A和第二组第二接触垫201B分别电连接到第一转接端101的第一组第一接触垫101A和第二组第一接触垫101B,从而将转接子电路板200安装到主体子电路板100上,并且将第一走线部分102、第三走线部分103和第二走线部分202依次电连接以得到第一功能走线。在安装时,转接子电路板200的第二侧相对于第一侧更靠近主体子电路板100,从而主体子电路板100上的第二功能走线与和其电连接的转接子电路板200上的第四走线203更靠近,相对来说,该设置更有利于主体子电路板100以及转接子电路板200的走线布置。
例如,可以通过热压的方式、焊接的方式或者通过连接器将转接子电路板200的第二转接端201连接到主体子电路板100的第一转接端101。例如,在热压的方式中,在两个转接端之间形成各向异性导电胶,然后对转接端进行热压操作,以利用各向异性导电胶将两个转接端连接在一起。例如,连接器包括零插入力型(Zero Insertion Force,ZIF)连接器或者板对板型(Board to Board,BTB)连接器等,本公开的实施例对连接方式不做具体限定。
例如,在一个示例中,采用板对板型连接器连接主体子电路板100和转接子电路板200。此时,该连接器包括相互配合的公连接器和母连接器。例如,主体子电路板100的第一转接端101设置母连接器,转接子电路板200的第二转接端201设置公连接器,从而可以通过公连接器和母连接器的插合使转接子电路板200与主体子电路板100连接。
本公开实施例的柔性电路板的制作方法提供了主体子电路板和转接子 电路板,并通过转接子电路板将位于主体子电路板两侧的走线转接,该方法可以避免走线在主体子电路板上交叉,防止或减弱信号串扰,或者避免为防止信号串扰而增加额外的功能层,从而可以避免电路板结构复杂化;另外,该制作方法提供的主体子电路板和转接子电路板具有简单的单层或者双层结构,因此走线布图更简单,可以降低主体子电路板和转接子电路板的制作难度。还有以下几点需要说明:
(1)本公开实施例附图只涉及到与本公开实施例涉及到的结构,其他结构可参考通常设计。
(2)为了清晰起见,在用于描述本公开的实施例的附图中,层或区域的厚度被放大或缩小,即这些附图并非按照实际的比例绘制。可以理解,当诸如层、膜、区域或基板之类的元件被称作位于另一元件“上”或“下”时,该元件可以“直接”位于另一元件“上”或“下”或者可以存在中间元件。
(3)在不冲突的情况下,本公开的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合以得到新的实施例。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
