Benefits of technology

[0007] In light of the state of the art described above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a FPC that can be applied to the LCD module without wasting any space and incurring the inconvenience of user. The FPC is designed to have an elastic portion formed by special shape. Thus, the distance between the two connection ends of the FPC can be restored and shortened by elastic force after it is turned over to the reverse side of the light source unit, and it is easy and cheap to implement this invention.

Problems solved by technology

Not only the extra space is needed, but also the difficulty of the design and the inconvenience of the user are increased.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] Some sample embodiments of the present invention will now be described in greater detail. Nevertheless, it should be recognized that the present invention can be practiced in a wide range of other embodiments besides those explicitly described, and the scope of the present invention is expressly not limited except as specified in the accompanying claims.

[0031] The material of FPC is polymer or polyester. Such board has flexibility, and can be curved to a predetermined shape without damaging itself and the circuit thereon. Hence, the basic concept of this invention is to design a special shape of FPC. The FPC includes an elastic portion. When no force is applied, the FPC has a first axial length. When a pulling force is applied to the FPC, the elastic portion is extended along an extending direction such that the FPC has a second axial length longer than the first axial length.

[0032] The special-shaped FPC of the present invention can be a light source FPC (that is, an FPC c...

Abstract

The FPC that is designed to have the special shape, an elastic portion, can shorten its length by elastic force after it is turned over to the reverse side of the light source unit for achieving the purposes without wasting any space of the LCD module and incurring the inconvenience of user.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a module with flexible printed circuit board (FPC), more particularly to a module with FPC that has an elastic portion to avoid wasting the space of module. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] With the development of science and technology, the display technology and the monitor play a very important role in the development process of the information technology. The portable devices and the display panel incorporated into each electric apparatus or meter, such as the computer, television, mobile phone, BP, and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), provided large information in our daily life and work. Especially, the LCD (liquid crystal display), which has many advantages such as low power consumption, low radiation, slim body and better display quality, becomes the main product in the flat panel display market. [0005] As illustrated in FIG. 1, an LCD module 1, which uses the LED (Ligh...
