  • Publication number: 20120248495
    Abstract: A light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste is used as an anisotropic conductive paste when a light-emitting device is produced by flip-chip mounting a light-emitting element such as a light-emitting diode element (LED) on a wiring board. The light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste includes light-reflective insulating particles, in order to improve light emission efficiency without providing, in the LED, a light-reflecting layer that causes an increase in manufacturing cost. With the light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste, a reduction in bonding strength of the light-emitting element to the wiring board in a high-temperature environment can be suppressed, and a reduction in conduction reliability after a TCT can also be suppressed. In the light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste, conductive particles and the light-reflective insulating particles are dispersed in a thermosetting resin composition.

  • Publication number: 20120227248
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an antenna device may include a first step of forming an antenna circuit so that the resonance frequency of the antenna circuit will be lower than an oscillation frequency of the reader/writer. The antenna circuit includes an antenna coil that receives the magnetic field transmitted from the reader/writer and a capacitor electrically connected to the antenna coil. The manufacturing method also includes a second step of affixing a magnetic sheet to the antenna coil via an adhesive. The magnetic sheet is at a face-to-face position with respect to the antenna coil and is configured to change the inductance of the antenna coil. The adhesive is of a film thickness to change the inductance so that the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit will be coincident with the oscillation frequency depending on the spacing between the antenna coil and the magnetic sheet.
