  • Patent number: 11869834
    Abstract: An electroconductive substrate, including: a base material; a foundation layer disposed on the base material; a trench formation layer disposed on the foundation layer, and an electroconductive pattern layer including metal plating. A trench including a bottom surface to which the foundation layer is exposed, is formed. The trench is filled with the electroconductive pattern layer. The foundation layer includes a mixed region which is formed from a surface of the foundation layer on the electroconductive pattern layer side towards the inside thereof, and contains metal particles which contain a metal configuring the electroconductive pattern layer, and enter the foundation layer.

  • Publication number: 20230395766
    Abstract: A mounting board includes an electronic component having at least a pair of first terminals, and a circuit board having at least a pair of second terminals. The first terminal and the second terminal are bonded to each other by a bonding material. The first terminal, the second terminal, and the bonding material are disposed inside a recessed portion formed in a resin layer such that the periphery thereof is surrounded by the resin layer. When a total thickness of the first terminal, the second terminal, and the bonding material is a dimension h1, the dimension h1 is 1 ?m to 20 ?m. When a width of the first terminal is a dimension d1 and a width of the recessed portion of the resin layer is a dimension d2, a value of (dimension d2—dimension d1) is 10 ?m or smaller.

  • Patent number: 11410855
    Abstract: A method of producing an electroconductive substrate including a base material, and an electroconductive pattern disposed on one main surface side of the base material includes: a step of forming a trench including a bottom surface to which a foundation layer is exposed, and a lateral surface which includes a surface of a trench formation layer, according to an imprint method; and a step of forming an electroconductive pattern layer by growing metal plating from the foundation layer which is exposed to the bottom surface of the trench.

  • Publication number: 20070250854
    Abstract: A view controller for controlling view is described on meta data and a view history (log) of a viewer recorded at the reception side is used to judge whether the condition of the view controller is satisfied. When the condition is satisfied, the view of the received content is permitted. Moreover, the view controller controls not only the view history (log) of the viewer stored before the content is received but also the view of another content during or after the content view. Thus, it is possible to perform view control to enforce the content right information and reflect the intention of the content creator.
