  • Patent number: 10264669
    Abstract: A flexible electronic assembly includes a flexible current-carrying device, an electrically insulating flexible substrate, and an electronic device embedded in the substrate. The electronic device is mounted face-down on the current-carrying device such that a contact side or component side of the electronic device faces the current-carrying device and is positioned at an interface between the current-carrying device and the substrate. The current-carrying device, substrate, and electronic device are co-planar at the interface. This configuration enables the flexible electronic assembly to have an ultra-thin thickness, for example on the order of micrometers.

  • Patent number: 10251277
    Abstract: A bridge section 12 is disposed in an area where mounting sections 11 are opposed to each other such that it is displaced toward a predetermined side. Accordingly, even if the line width of the bridge section 12 is formed larger than that in the related art, the self-alignment phenomenon can occur appropriately in a reflow process. It is thus possible to provide a resin-sealed module having high resin-charging properties and including a circuit substrate on which the bridge section 12 is not broken even if the size of a common land electrode 10 is reduced in accordance with a smaller size of a circuit component 5 and on which a sufficient gap between plural circuit components 5 mounted on the circuit substrate is reliably secured.
