Abstract: Provided is a printed circuit board, including a plurality of buried circuit patterns which are formed in an active area; and a plurality of buried dummy patterns which are uniformly formed in a dummy area except the active area. Thus, since when the circuit patterns are formed, the dummy patterns are also uniformly formed, a difference in plating can be reduced. Also, since the dummy patterns are uniformly formed in the dummy area, a difference in grinding between the dummy area and the active area can be reduced, thereby enabling the circuit patterns to be formed in the active area without the occurrence of over-grinding.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board, the method including: preparing an insulating substrate including a resin material in which a solid component is impregnated; forming a circuit pattern groove on the resin material by etching an upper surface of the insulating substrate; forming a plated layer in which the circuit pattern groove is buried; and forming a buried circuit pattern by removing the plated layer until the insulating layer is exposed, wherein the solid component has a diameter of less than 5% to a width of the buried circuit pattern. Thus, as a filler of a predetermined size or less is applied into the insulating layer for forming the circuit pattern, the occurrence of a void due to separation of the filler from a boundary part with the circuit pattern can be reduced, and reliability can be also secured.

Abstract: A drum type washing machine is provided. The washing machine may include a tub, a drum, a motor rotating the drum, bearing housings housing bearings to support a rotation shaft, a suspension connected to the bearing housings and a cabinet to mitigate vibration, a bracket coupled to the bearing housings, and a gasket installed between the bracket and the tub. Such an arrangement may allow volumes of the tub and the drum may be increased without increasing the volume of the cabinet.

Abstract: A drum type washing machine is provided. The washing machine may include a tub fixed to a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the drum, a motor rotating the drum, bearings provided in a bearing housing to support a rotation shaft connecting the motor to the drum, and a suspension coupled between the bearing housings and the cabinet to mitigate vibration generated as the drum rotates. A bracket may be coupled to a rear side of the bearing housing to form a rear end of the tub, and a gasket may be installed between the bracket and the tub to form a seal therebetween and prevent transmission of vibration from the bracket to the tub. This arrangement may allow for an increased capacity drum within a fixed volume cabinet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry machine having a drying function for drying an object to be dried, especially clothes. The laundry machine according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a circulating drying machine that supplies the hot air to an object to be dried, so as to remove water, and then condenses the water from the hot air and heats the condensed water to supply the heat to the object to be dried. At this time, condensing may be carried out using natural convection.
