  • Patent number: 7876573
    Abstract: A stacked mounting structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and an intermediate substrate which has a space accommodating therein components to be mounted. A first contact (connecting) terminal and a second contact (connecting) terminal are formed on the first substrate and the second substrate, and have a wire which is formed on a side surface of the intermediate substrate. By formation of the intermediate substrate to be on an inner side than an edge surface of the substrates, a part of the two contact terminals respectively are exposed. One end of the wire is connected to an exposed portion of the first contact terminal, and the other end of the wire is connected to an exposed portion of the second contact terminal.

  • Publication number: 20100277878
    Abstract: There is provided a mounting structure in which, it is possible to regulate positions of mounting components, or in other words, an angle of bending of the circuit board, without using any jigs etc., and it is possible to dispose mounting components at arbitrary positions without inhibiting small-sizing of the mounting structure and of a product in which the mounting structure is installed. A mounting structure (10) having a circuit board (11) which can be bent, inside a casing, includes an angle maintaining means which regulates an angle of bending ? of the circuit board (11) as well as maintains a state of contact by bringing in mutual contact mounting components (12 and 13) which are mounted on the circuit board (11) or by bringing the mounting components which are mounted on the circuit board (11) in contact with the circuit board (11), at the time of bending the circuit board (11).

  • Patent number: 7679196
    Abstract: A stacked mounting structure includes at least two substrates namely a first substrate on which a first protruding electrode is formed and a second substrate on which a second protruding electrode is formed, and an intermediate substrate which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and which connects the first substrate and the second substrate by leaving a predetermined gap between the first substrate and the second substrate. Mounted components are disposed in the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first protruding electrode and the second protruding electrode are connected in an opening which is provided in the intermediate substrate.

  • Patent number: 7649740
    Abstract: In a stacked mounting structure At least a pair of a first connecting terminal and a second connecting terminal is formed, and further, the stacked mounting structure includes a protruding electrode which is provided on at least any one of the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal, and an electroconductive paste which is formed on a side surface of an intermediate substrate, and which electrically connects the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal. The first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal are exposed by a recess in a surface of the intermediate substrate. The first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal are electrically connected via the protruding electrode and the electroconductive paste in the recess which is provided in the intermediate substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070095563
    Abstract: The invention provides a circuit board that includes a flat core plate, a buildup layer having insulation layers and conductor layers alternately stacked on each other, and surface conductor layers provided on the buildup layer. The circuit board further includes deformation-interrupting sections extending through the insulation layers between the conductor layers as electric wires. The deformation-interrupting sections adjust the thermal expansion coefficient of the whole circuit board, and enhance the rigidity of the circuit board. The invention also provides a method for forming the circuit board.
