[0043] In the accompanying drawings used to illustrate the present invention, the positional relationship of the structure is explained with reference to the width direction, the vertical direction, and the length direction. To facilitate this explanation, in the reference numerals X, Y, and Z shown in the drawings, X represents the width direction, Y represents the vertical direction, and Z represents the length direction, respectively.

[0044] However, such directional descriptions are used to help explain positional relationships and should not be interpreted as limiting. It should be noted that the position changes depending on the direction of the viewpoint.

[0045] Flexible circuit boards that transmit high-frequency signals are used inside wireless terminals (e.g., smartphones, tablets, etc.).

[0046] Flexible circuit boards can be individually bent based on the bending requirements of internal components or the hinges of wireless terminals.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the thickness of the bent region A1 of such a flexible circuit board is formed to be thinner than the thickness of other regions.

[0048] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the bent area. Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view of other regions adjacent to the bent region.

[0049] and Figure 3 Compared to the other areas shown, Figure 2 The bent area shown is thin because the structure of the first ground 310 and the second ground 320 has been removed, resulting in a problem of weak noise interference resistance.

[0050] In particular, in the case of flexible circuit boards consisting of two or more signal lines, there is a problem of interference between signal lines.

[0051] To solve such problems, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first dielectric 110, a first signal line 510, a second signal line 520, a second dielectric 120, a third dielectric 130, a first cover 210, a second cover 220, a first ground 310, a second ground 320, a third cover 230, and a fourth cover 240.

[0052] The first dielectric 110 is formed to include a width direction and a length direction.

[0053] The first signal line 510 is located on one side in the width direction above or below the first dielectric 110.

[0054] The second signal line 520 is separated from the first signal line 510 in the width direction and is located above or below the first dielectric 110.

[0055] The second dielectric 120 is located on one side in the width direction above the first dielectric 110, and a first signal line 510 is disposed below it.

[0056] The third dielectric 130 is separated from the second dielectric 120 by the first dielectric 110 in the width direction and is located below the first dielectric 110, with the second signal line 520 disposed above it.

[0057] The first ground 310 is located above the second dielectric 120.

[0058] The second ground 320 is located below the third dielectric 130.

[0059] Thus, the following effects are achieved: the second dielectric 120 and the first ground 310 are formed only on a portion above the first dielectric 110 and remain flexible, thus shielding the first signal line 510 from noise interference; the third dielectric 130 and the second ground 320 are formed only on a portion below the first dielectric 110 and remain flexible, thus shielding the second signal line 520 from noise interference.

[0060] In addition, it has the following effect: the second dielectric 120, the first ground 310, the third dielectric 130, and the second ground 320 are symmetrical about the first dielectric 110 as a reference point to shield the interference between the first signal line 510 and the second signal line 520.

[0061] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first cover 210, a second cover 220, a third cover 230, and a fourth cover 240.

[0062] The first cover 210 is located above the first dielectric 110 and extends from the lower region of the second dielectric 120 to the upper region of the third dielectric 130, thereby being configured to overlap at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 in the vertical direction.

[0063] The second cover 220 is located below the first dielectric 110 and is formed from all or part of the area above the third dielectric 130 to the area below the second dielectric 120, and is configured to overlap at least a portion of the third dielectric 130 in the vertical direction.

[0064] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a first cover 210 extending from the entire area below the second dielectric 120 to the area above the third dielectric 130, and a second cover 220 extending from the entire area above the third dielectric 130 to the area below the second dielectric 120. Figure 5 This is an example diagram showing a first cover 210 formed from a lower partial region of the second dielectric 120 to an upper region of the third dielectric 130, and a second cover 220 formed from an upper partial region of the third dielectric 130 to a lower region of the second dielectric 120.

[0065] It can be, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first cover 210 and the second dielectric 120 are completely superimposed in the vertical direction, or as... Figure 5 As shown, the first cover 210 and a portion of the second dielectric 120 are superimposed in the vertical direction.

[0066] At this time, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the portion of the first cover 210 and at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 that overlaps in the vertical direction allows the portion of the first dielectric 110 above which the second dielectric 120 is disposed and the portion of the first dielectric 110 above which the second dielectric 120 is not disposed to move together and bend, thereby preventing damage caused by bending at different angles to each other.

[0067] It can be, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second cover 220 and the third dielectric 130 are all superimposed in the vertical direction, or Figure 5 As shown, the second cover 220 and a portion of the third dielectric 130 are superimposed in the vertical direction.

[0068] At this time, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the portion of the second cover 220 and at least a portion of the third dielectric 130 that overlaps in the vertical direction allows the portion of the first dielectric 110 below which the third dielectric 130 is disposed and the portion of the first dielectric 110 below which the third dielectric 130 is not disposed to move together and bend, thereby preventing damage caused by bending at different angles to each other.

[0069] The third cover 230 is located above the first grounding 310.

[0070] The fourth cover 240 is located below the second ground 320.

[0071] Thus, the following effects are achieved: the portion above the first dielectric 110 where the second dielectric 120 is disposed and the portion above the first dielectric 110 where the second dielectric 120 is not disposed are connected to each other; the portion below the first dielectric 110 where the third dielectric 130 is disposed and the portion below the first dielectric 110 where the third dielectric 130 is not disposed are connected to each other, thereby enabling bending and preventing damage caused by bending at different angles.

[0072] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first center ground 610, a second center ground 620, a first side ground 710, a second side ground 720, a third side ground 730, and a fourth side ground 740.

[0073] The first center ground 610 is located between the first signal line 510 and the second signal line 520, and is located on top of the first dielectric 110.

[0074] The second center ground 620 is located between the first signal line 510 and the second signal line 520, and is located below the first dielectric 110.

[0075] The second dielectric 120 is configured to overlap at least a portion of the first central ground 610 in the vertical direction.

[0076] The third dielectric 130 is configured to overlap at least a portion of the second center ground 620 in the vertical direction.

[0077] The first side ground 710 and the second side ground 720 are located on both sides of the first dielectric 110 in the width direction, so that the first center ground 610 is located between the first side ground 710 and the second side ground 720.

[0078] The third side ground 730 and the fourth side ground 740 are located on both sides in the width direction below the first dielectric 110 so that the second center ground 620 is located between the third side ground 730 and the fourth side ground 740.

[0079] When the first signal line 510 is located above the first dielectric 110, the third side ground 730 and the second center ground 620 can be separated from each other without any connection as shown in the figure. They can be partially connected to form a pattern or completely connected.

[0080] When the first signal line 510 is located below the first dielectric 110, the first side ground 710 and the first center ground 610 can be separated without any connection between them, as shown in the figure. They can be partially connected to form a pattern or completely connected.

[0081] When the second signal line 520 is located above the first dielectric 110, the fourth side ground 740 and the second center ground 620 can be separated from each other without any connection as shown in the figure. They can be partially connected to form a pattern or completely connected.

[0082] When the second signal line 520 is located below the first dielectric 110, the second side ground 720 and the first center ground 610 can be separated from each other without any connection as shown in the figure. They can be partially connected to form a pattern or completely connected.

[0083] At this point, the pattern formed by connecting parts may include a shape with periodically arranged graphics through unconnected parts, or a mesh formed by connecting parts.

[0084] Thus, the following effects are achieved: the first center ground 610, together with the second dielectric 120 and the first ground 310, shields the first signal line 510 from noise interference; the second center ground 620, together with the third dielectric 130 and the second ground 320, shields the second signal line 520 from noise interference.

[0085] In addition, it has the following effects: the first side ground 710 and the third side ground 730 together with the first center ground 610 and the second center ground 620 shield the first signal line 510 from noise interference, and the second side ground 720 and the fourth side ground 740 together with the first center ground 610 and the second center ground 620 shield the second signal line 520 from noise interference.

[0086] pass Figures 6 to 8 The positional relationship between the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 is described below (for reference, X1 is the range in which the second dielectric 120 and the first center ground 610 overlap in the vertical direction, and X2 is the range in which the third dielectric 130 and the second center ground 620 overlap in the vertical direction).

[0087] The positional relationship between the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 in the horizontal direction is described below, assuming that the second dielectric 120 is configured to overlap at least part of the first central ground 610 in the vertical direction and the third dielectric 130 is configured to overlap at least part of the second central ground 620 in the vertical direction.

[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 are arranged separately in the horizontal direction.

[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 can be arranged close to each other in a range that does not overlap in the vertical direction.

[0090] like Figure 8 As shown, the range in which the second dielectric 120 and the first center ground 610 overlap in the vertical direction can be different from the range in which the third dielectric 130 and the second center ground 620 overlap in the vertical direction.

[0091] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first welding piece 410 and a second welding piece 420.

[0092] The first welding piece 410 is located between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120, and covers the portion of the first cover 210 between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120.

[0093] The second welding piece 420 is located between the first dielectric 110 and the third dielectric 130, and covers the portion of the second cover 220 between the first dielectric 110 and the third dielectric 130.

[0094] That is, the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 are bonded to the first dielectric 110 using the first welding piece 410 and the second welding piece 420 as the dielectric, respectively.

[0095] At this time, although not shown in the figure, the first welding piece 410 and the second welding piece 420 may not exist, and the second dielectric 120 and the third dielectric 130 may be directly bonded to the first dielectric 110 by high-temperature heat fusion.

[0096] If the first ground 310 overlaps with the first cover 210 in the vertical direction, and the second ground 320 overlaps with the second cover 220 in the vertical direction, then there is a problem of the flexible circuit board becoming thicker.

[0097] To address this problem, a flexible circuit board with a bend that improves shielding, according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes the following structure.

[0098] The first ground 310 is formed with a width smaller than that of the second dielectric 120 so that it does not overlap with the first cover 210 in the vertical direction but is separated from the first cover 210 in the horizontal direction (refer to Y1).

[0099] The second ground 320 is formed with a width smaller than that of the third dielectric 130 so that it does not overlap with the second cover 220 in the vertical direction but is separated from the second cover 220 in the horizontal direction (refer to Y2).

[0100] Thus, the first ground 310 and the first cover 210 do not overlap in the vertical direction, and the second ground 320 and the second cover 220 do not overlap in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the thickness of the flexible circuit board from increasing.

[0101] The previous passage Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 This describes a flexible circuit board with two signal lines, through... Figure 9 The following describes an example with three signal lines.

[0102] like Figure 9As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a third signal line 530, a fourth dielectric 140, a fifth cover 250, a third ground 330, and a sixth cover 260.

[0103] The third signal line 530 is separated from the second signal line 520 in the width direction and is located above or below the first dielectric 110.

[0104] The fourth dielectric 140 is separated from the third dielectric 130 by the other side in the width direction and is located above the first dielectric 110, and a third signal line 530 is provided below it.

[0105] The fifth cover 250 is located below the first dielectric 110 and extends from the upper region of the third dielectric 130 to the lower region of the fourth dielectric 140, thereby being configured to overlap at least a portion of the third dielectric 130 in the vertical direction.

[0106] The third ground 330 is located above the fourth dielectric 140.

[0107] The sixth cover 260 is located above the third ground 330.

[0108] The first cover 210 is formed in all or part of the area below the fourth dielectric 140 and is configured to overlap at least a portion of the fourth dielectric 140 in the vertical direction.

[0109] like Figure 9 As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a third center ground 630 and a fourth center ground 640.

[0110] The third center ground 630 is located between the second signal line 520 and the third signal line 530, and is located on the first dielectric 110.

[0111] The fourth center ground 640 is located between the second signal line 520 and the third signal line 530, and is located below the first dielectric 110.

[0112] The fourth dielectric 140 is configured to overlap at least partially with the third center ground 630 in the vertical direction.

[0113] Thus, the following effects are achieved: the third center ground 630, together with the fourth dielectric 140 and the third ground 330, shields the third signal line 530 from noise interference; the fourth center ground 640, together with the third dielectric 130 and the second ground 320, shields the second signal line 520 from noise interference.

[0114] like Figure 9As shown, the flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a third welding piece 430.

[0115] The third welding piece 430 is located between the first dielectric 110 and the fourth dielectric 140, and covers the portion of the first cover 210 between the first dielectric 110 and the fourth dielectric 140.

[0116] A flexible circuit board with an improved shielding bending portion according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 9 As shown, it includes the following structure.

[0117] The third ground 330 is formed with a width smaller than that of the fourth dielectric 140 so that it does not overlap with the first cover 210 in the vertical direction but is separated from the first cover 210 in the horizontal direction.

[0118] That is, the first cover 210 is not provided below one end of the third ground 330, and the first cover 210 is provided below the fourth dielectric 140 at the end where the first ground 310 is not provided.

[0119] Thus, the third ground 330 and the first cover 210 do not overlap in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the thickness of the flexible circuit board from increasing.

[0120] The previous passage Figure 9 This describes a flexible circuit board with three signal lines, but it is not limited to this. When there are four or more signal lines, the additional dielectric and the dielectric adjacent to it are set symmetrically with the first dielectric 110 as a reference point. The additional signal lines, grounding and center grounding can be set based on the previous description.

[0121] The previous passage Figures 4 to 9 This describes that the first cover 210 is configured to overlap at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 in the width direction, through... Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As described below, the first cover 210 is configured to overlap at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 in the length direction.

[0122] like Figure 10 As shown, a flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first dielectric 110, a first signal line 510, a second signal line 520, a first cover 210, a second cover 220, a second dielectric 120, a third dielectric 130, a first ground 310, a second ground 320, a third cover 230, and a fourth cover 240.

[0123] The first dielectric 110 is formed to include a width direction and a length direction.

[0124] The first signal line 510 is located on one side of the width direction above or below the first dielectric 110.

[0125] The first cover 210 is located above the first dielectric 110 and is formed such that its width is smaller than the width of the first dielectric 110.

[0126] The second cover 220 is located below the first dielectric 110 and overlaps at least part of the first cover 210 in the vertical direction, and is formed such that its width is smaller than that of the first dielectric 110.

[0127] Figure 11 In order to show Figure 10 The diagram shows the structure above the first cover 210 with dotted lines, given that the first cover 210 is shaped between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120.

[0128] pass Figure 11 The following describes the configuration of the first cover 210 between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120.

[0129] The second dielectric 120 is located on one side of the width direction above the first dielectric 110, and a first signal line 510 is provided below it.

[0130] At this time, at least a portion of one side of the first cover 210 in the length direction is between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120, and no portion between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120 is exposed.

[0131] The third dielectric 130 is separated from the second dielectric 120 by the other side in the width direction and is located below the first dielectric 110, and a second signal line 520 is provided above it.

[0132] At this time, at least a portion of one side of the second cover 220 in the length direction is between the first dielectric 110 and the third dielectric 130, and no portion between the first dielectric 110 and the third dielectric 130 is exposed.

[0133] At this time, not only at least a portion of one side of the first cover 210 in the length direction, but also at least a portion of one side of the first cover 210 in the width direction can be located between the first dielectric 110 and the second dielectric 120.

[0134] In addition, not only at least a portion of one side of the second cover 220 in the length direction, but also at least a portion of the other side of the second cover 220 in the width direction can be located between the first dielectric 110 and the third dielectric 130.

[0135] That is, at least a portion of one side of the second dielectric 120 and the first cover 210 along the length direction may be superimposed in the vertical direction, and additionally, at least a portion of one side of the second dielectric 120 and the first cover 210 along the width direction may be superimposed in the vertical direction.

[0136] At this time, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the portion of the first cover 210 and at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 that overlaps in the vertical direction allows the portion of the first dielectric 110 above which the second dielectric 120 is disposed and the portion of the first dielectric 110 above which the second dielectric 120 is not disposed to move together and bend, thereby preventing damage caused by bending at different angles to each other.

[0137] Alternatively, at least a portion of one side of the third dielectric 130 and the second cover 220 in the length direction may be superimposed in the vertical direction, and additionally, at least a portion of one side of the third dielectric 130 and the second cover 220 in the width direction may be superimposed in the vertical direction.

[0138] At this time, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the portion of the second cover 220 and at least a portion of the third dielectric 130 that overlaps in the vertical direction allows the portion of the first dielectric 110 below which the third dielectric 130 is disposed and the portion of the first dielectric 110 below which the third dielectric 130 is not disposed to move together and bend, thereby preventing damage caused by bending at different angles to each other.

[0139] The first ground 310 is located above the second dielectric 120.

[0140] The second ground 320 is located below the third dielectric 130.

[0141] The third cover 230 is located above the first grounding 310.

[0142] The fourth cover 240 is located below the second ground 320.

[0143] Thus, the following effects are achieved: the portion above the first dielectric 110 where the second dielectric 120 is disposed and the portion above the first dielectric 110 where the second dielectric 120 is not disposed are connected to each other; the portion below the first dielectric 110 where the third dielectric 130 is disposed and the portion below the first dielectric 110 where the third dielectric 130 is not disposed are connected to each other, thereby enabling bending and preventing damage caused by bending at different angles.

[0144] like Figures 12 to 14 As shown, one embodiment of the manufacturing method of a flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first step, a second step, and a third step.

[0145] The first step is to attach the first cover 210 to the top of the first dielectric 110.

[0146] The second step is to combine a second dielectric 120 over the first dielectric 110 to cover the first cover 210.

[0147] The third step is to remove the second dielectric 120 located above the first cover 210 in such a way that at least a portion of the second dielectric 120 remains around the first cover 210.

[0148] At this point, removal can be achieved using lasers or blades.

[0149] like Figure 12 as well as Figure 14 As shown, another embodiment of the manufacturing method of a flexible circuit board with a bend having improved shielding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first step and a second step.

[0150] The first step is to attach the first cover 210 to the top of the first dielectric 110.

[0151] The second step is to combine the cut second dielectric 120 over the first dielectric 110 in such a way that it covers at least a portion of the area around the first cover 210.
