  • Publication number: 20210153348
    Abstract: A flexible laminated sheet manufacturing method includes thermocompression-bonding an insulation film formed of a liquid crystal polymer onto a metal foil between endless belts to form a flexible laminated sheet. The thermocompression bonding includes heating the flexible laminated sheet so that the maximum temperature of the sheet is in the range from a temperature that is 45° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 5° C. lower than the melting point. The thermocompression bonding also includes slowly cooling the flexible laminated sheet so that an exit temperature, which is a temperature of the sheet when transferred out of the endless belts, is in the range from a temperature that is 235° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 100° C. lower than the melting point.

  • Patent number: 7080445
    Abstract: A first printed circuit board includes a first insulating board substantially made of thermoplastic resin and a first conductive pattern. A second printed circuit board includes a second insulating board and a second conductive pattern. The first and second printed circuit boards are overlapped. The overlapped portion of the first and second printed circuit boards is heat pressed to connect the first and second printed circuit boards with a heat-pressing tool while the first insulating board is cooled at an area adjacent to an area pressed by the heat-pressing tool. With the heat pressing, the first and second lands are electrically connected and the thermoplastic resin is softened and plastically deformed to bond the first insulating board to the second insulating board. The thickness of the first insulating board is preferably controlled at the heat pressed area and the area adjacent to the heat pressed area by the cooling.

  • Patent number: 6966482
    Abstract: Lands formed on a flexible printed circuit board are electrically connected with lands formed on a rigid printed circuit board through solder. At this point, solder resist is formed between neighboring two lands on the rigid printed circuit board, and is terminated with an end portion that is interposed between the rigid printed circuit board and the flexible printed circuit board. Accordingly, even when surplus solder is extruded onto the rigid printed circuit board, the solder resist can prevent solder bridges from being formed between the lands.
