  • Publication number: 20070114057
    Abstract: A printed wiring board on which a pattern can be formed favorably by printing and soldering even where a small part of the 1005 size or less is mounted. The printed wiring board includes a substrate; a pair of soldering lands on the substrate, the soldering lands being spaced from one another with a first side of one land opposing a first side of another land; and a mounted part having a pair of electrodes on opposite ends thereof soldered to the respective lands. A wiring line is connected to each soldering land, and an insulating element overlies the wiring lines. The insulating element has openings formed so as to expose the soldering lands therethrough. Wiring line connection elements are individually connected to only the first sides of the lands. Each insulating element opening has an edge positioned outside of the corresponding land and on the inner side of the corresponding wiring line connection element.

  • Patent number: 6924440
    Abstract: An apparatus for electrically connecting an electronic element and a base includes an electrode region and a terminal region proximate the electrode region. A conductive paste is deposited on at least a portion of the terminal region. The conductive paste has an oxidation-reduced region thereon, formed by application of an acid to the conductive paste. An oxidation-prevention layer is formed on the oxidation-reduced region by deposition of a flux on the oxidation-reduced region, application of a solder to the flux, and blowing of a heated gas by the solder. The oxidation-prevention layer is adapted to bond the electrode associated with the electronic element to the conductive paste by soldering, when the electrode is present in the electrode region.

A plurality of organic thin film EL display elements are formed on a single transparent substrate. Circuit substrates on which driver circuits for supplying signals to signal and scanning electrodes for each of the EL display elements are mounted are bonded to the EL display elements. The circuit substrate has an end-sealing property and through holes are bored opposite the signal and scanning electrodes. The through holes are covered by a conductive, end-sealing material. Signals are supplied from the driver circuit to the signal and scanning electrodes through the conductive material. A portion of the organic EL display element that is not bonded to the circuit substrate is covered by an end-sealing material.

  • Patent number: 6533631
    Abstract: An optical device used as an image panel which is allowed to be arranged together with the adjacent one on a display without a gap put therebetween and which is improved to form a stacked body including organic layers without damaging the surface of an already-formed organic layer by a vapor-deposition mask, and to provide a method of manufacturing the optical device. Metal bumps are provided on stripes of transparent electrodes arranged on a glass substrate in such a manner as to be located in non-optical operation regions, and are led on the back surface of the organic EL device. The metal bumps function as spacers upon vapor-deposition of the organic layer or the like, to prevent the contact of a vapor-deposition mask with an already-formed film surface, and are led on the back surface of the organic EL device together with metal electrodes and are connected to an electronic part mounted on the back surface side of the organic EL device.
