  • Publication number: 20230238197
    Abstract: A method is for making an electronic device that includes a multilayer circuit board having a non-planar three-dimensional shape defining a membrane switch recess therein. The multilayer circuit board may include at least one liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layer, and at least one electrically conductive pattern layer thereon defining at least one membrane switch electrode adjacent the membrane switch recess to define a membrane switch. The electronic device may further include a compressible dielectric material filling the membrane switch recess. The electronic device may also include at least one spring member within the membrane switch recess.

  • Patent number: 8778124
    Abstract: A method is for making a non-planar three-dimensional (3D) multilayered circuit board. The method may include forming a stacked arrangement including at least one pair of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layers with a bonding layer therebetween. The stacked arrangement may further include at least one electrically conductive pattern layer on at least one of the LCP layers. The method may further include heating and applying pressure to the stacked arrangement to shape the stacked arrangement into a non-planar 3D shape and concurrently causing the bonding layer to bond together the adjacent LCP layers of the stacked arrangement to thereby form the non-planar 3D multi-layered circuit board.
