  • Publication number: 20150334839
    Abstract: The present invention involves forming wiring sections on a substrate capable of UV-ray transmission, and fixing a component to be electrically connected to the wiring sections onto the substrate using a UV-curable ACF. When doing so, fluidity in the UV-curable ACF is produced by applying pressure to the component, and UV rays are directly projected from the surface of the substrate even onto the UV-curable ACF areas shielded by the wiring sections. The UV-curable ACF is made to be fluid by applying pressure to the component after increasing fluidity of the UV-curable ACF by heating.

  • Publication number: 20150319849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a component securing structure that forms a wiring unit on a TFT glass substrate that is capable of transmitting UV light. A component, such as a driver IC and/or an FPC, is electrically connected to the wiring unit and is secured to the TFT glass substrate by a UV-curable ACF. An opening for transmitting UV light is formed in a light shielding layer of the wiring unit. UV light irradiated from the back side of the TFT glass substrate passes through the opening and directly irradiates the UV-curable ACF.

  • Patent number: 8390115
    Abstract: Provided is a wiring board wherein a circuit is not short-circuited when a IC chip is mounted on the wiring board. A wiring board (2) is provided with a substrate (4); wiring layers (5-8), which are formed on a surface of the substrate (4) and have prescribed wiring patterns; connecting terminals (9-12), which are formed on a part of the wiring layers (5-8) and electrically connected with bumps (18-21) of an integrated circuit chip (IC chip) (3); a mounting region (14), which is arranged on the surface of the substrate (4) and has the integrated circuit chip (3) mounted therein; and an insulating layer (13), which is formed on the surface of the substrate (4) so as to surround the circumference of the mounting region (14) for protecting wiring layers (5-8). A part of the insulating layer (3) is arranged inside the mounting region (14), and the thickness of the insulating layer (13) is more than that of the bumps (18-21) of the integrated circuit chip (3).

  • Publication number: 20120236230
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device substrate wherein an insulating layer (60) having a terminal (24) formed on the surface thereof is formed over the entire surface of a glass substrate (20), excluding a display section, and therefore, the border (outer periphery) of the insulating layer (60) does not approach a region where an NCF (81) is provided, i.e., an area close to an LSI chip (40). This prevents the insulating layer (60) from being peeled off from the border thereof by the NCF (81), and thereby prevents the terminal (24) from breaking. Furthermore, the terminal (24) and a bump electrode (40a) are permanently pressure-bonded to each other by the elasticity of the insulating layer (60), and a stable electrical connection therebetween can be ensured.

  • Publication number: 20120133876
    Abstract: A region for mounting components such as an IC chip is sufficiently ensured on a glass substrate with which a liquid crystal panel is configured, without reducing the number of panel pieces to be taken from a large panel. A liquid crystal panel is composed of a first glass substrate (10) and a second glass substrate (20) which face each other with a liquid crystal therebetween. The first glass substrate (10) and the second glass substrate (20) are formed in substantially the same size in plan view and bonded together in a state in which these substrates are shifted from each other by a predetermined distance in the direction of the longer side or in the direction of the shorter side. Regions to become a frame (frame regions) are provided on both the first glass substrate (10) and the second glass substrate (20), and pads (60) are provided on both of these frame regions.
