RIGID FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962286 titled 'RIGID FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a rigid flexible printed circuit board (RFPCB) design that includes multiple layers and a transmission line. A dummy metal layer is also included in the design.
- The RFPCB includes a first base conductive layer and two rigid conductive layers.
- The first rigid conductive layer is spaced apart from the first base conductive layer in one direction.
- The second rigid conductive layer is spaced apart from the first base conductive layer in the same direction and also spaced apart from the first rigid conductive layer in a different direction.
- A base cover layer is positioned closer to the first base conductive layer than to the rigid conductive layers.
- A transmission line is located between the first base conductive layer and the base cover layer.
- A dummy metal layer is placed on the base cover layer, overlapping the transmission line and positioned between the two rigid conductive layers.
Potential Applications:
- Electronics manufacturing
- Consumer electronics
- Automotive industry
- Aerospace industry
Problems Solved:
- Provides a design for a rigid flexible printed circuit board that allows for flexibility and durability.
- Addresses the need for multiple conductive layers in a compact design.
- Solves the challenge of maintaining signal integrity in a multi-layer circuit board.
Benefits:
- Improved flexibility and durability compared to traditional circuit boards.
- Compact design allows for more efficient use of space.
- Maintains signal integrity and reduces interference.
- Can be used in various industries and applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
A rigid flexible printed circuit board (RFPCB) may include: a first base conductive layer; a first rigid conductive layer spaced apart from the first base conductive layer in a first direction; a second rigid conductive layer spaced apart from the first base conductive layer in the first direction and spaced apart from the first rigid conductive layer in a second direction intersecting the first direction; a base cover layer spaced apart from the first base conductive layer in the first direction and positioned closer to the first base conductive layer than to the first rigid conductive layer and the second rigid conductive layer; a transmission line positioned between the first base conductive layer and the base cover layer; and a dummy metal layer disposed on the base cover layer, positioned between the first rigid conductive layer and the second rigid conductive layer, and overlapping the transmission line in the first direction.
