Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and more specifically to a fingerprint recognition module without half-cutting of PCB. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mainstream fingerprint recognition module usually takes into account the power button to simplify the structural design and reduce costs. At this time, the fingerprint recognition module needs to be pressed as a physical button. This requires the fingerprint recognition module to use FPC soft board so that there is a certain amount of activity space after installation and fixation. Usually, in order to avoid the FPC below the module chip output terminal from being deformed due to frequent pressing and possibly touching the fingerprint chip, resulting in damage to the FPC surface friction, the fingerprint chip will be half-cut near the output terminal to leave space for the FPC to move, so as to avoid the FPC circuit damage caused by FPC friction and then cause the fingerprint recognition module to fail. In this way, it is necessary to add a process to the production and assembly process of the fingerprint recognition module to process the chip substrate area into a half-cut area. This processing method usually uses CNC. The mainstream fingerprint chip is a chip bound to a large PCB, and then packaged on the PCB to add a packaging layer, so the half-cut area is actually processed on the chip substrate PCB. In this way, the addition of CNC cutting technology will increase product costs and reduce product competitiveness. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0029] The utility model provides a fingerprint recognition module without half-cutting of PCB, which comprises an FPC, a fingerprint chip and a reinforcing steel sheet, wherein the fingerprint chip is arranged on the upper surface of the FPC, the fingerprint chip comprises a PCB board, a wafer and a packaging layer, the wafer is fixed on the upper surface of the PCB board, the packaging layer covers the wafer and the upper surface of the PCB board, one end of the packaging layer is provided with a side extension portion extending to the PCB board; the reinforcing steel sheet is arranged on the lower surface of the FPC.

[0030] In the actual production of PCB boards, the length of the PCB boards is shorter than that of the PCB boards in the existing designs, which is equivalent to a part of the PCB boards being retracted. Then, the packaging layer is extended to the retracted side of the PCB boards, and the packaging layer is used to fill the half-cut area in the existing technology. The PCB boards do not need to be cut, so that sufficient space for the FPC to move can be left to prevent FPC friction, thereby reducing production costs and improving product competitiveness.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a fingerprint recognition module without half-cutting of PCB provided by the utility model, comprising FPC1, fingerprint chip 2 and reinforcing steel sheet 3, the fingerprint chip 2 is fixed on the upper surface of FPC1, the fingerprint chip 2 comprises a PCB board 21, a chip 22 and a packaging layer 23, the chip 22 is fixed on the upper surface of the PCB board 21, the packaging layer 23 covers the upper part of the chip 22 and covers the upper surface of the PCB board 21, an extension part 24 is provided at one end of the packaging layer 23, and the extension part 24 extends to the side of the PCB board 21; the reinforcing steel sheet 3 is fixed on the lower surface of FPC1.

[0034] Furthermore, the width of the extension portion 24 is the inwardly contracted width of the PCB board 21 , that is, the width of the half-cut region in the conventional design.

[0035] Furthermore, the depth of the extension portion 24 is the difference between the thickness of the PCB board 21 and the retracted depth of the PCB board 21 , that is, the difference between the depth of the PCB board 21 and the depth of the half-cut area in the traditional design.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] See also Figure 3 As a further optimization scheme of Example 1, in this embodiment, the FPC1 includes a substrate layer 11, a circuit layer 12 arranged on the upper surface of the substrate layer 11, and a metal heat dissipation layer 13 arranged on the lower surface of the substrate layer 11. The arrangement method can be that the circuit layer 12 and the metal heat dissipation layer 13 are respectively attached to the substrate layer 11 by double-sided adhesive. Since the thickness of the substrate layer 11 is relatively thin, the heat on the FPC1 can be diffused to the metal heat dissipation layer 13 through the substrate layer 11. The metal heat dissipation layer 13 can effectively increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the FPC1 and play a role in uniform heat dissipation, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the FPC1. The substrate layer 11 can be any one of polyimide, polyester, polysulfone or polytetrafluoroethylene, the double-sided adhesive is any one of an acrylic adhesive layer or an epoxy resin adhesive layer, and the metal heat dissipation layer 13 can be a copper foil layer.

[0038] Furthermore, the FPC1 further includes at least one through-hole 14 penetrating the substrate layer 11, the circuit layer 12 and the metal heat dissipation layer 13, and the inner wall of the through-hole 14 is provided with a heat-conducting layer in contact with the circuit layer 12 and the metal heat dissipation layer 13. By utilizing the good thermal conductivity of the through-hole 14, the circuit layer 12 and the metal heat dissipation layer 13 on both sides of the substrate layer 11 can be electrically connected to play a good thermal conductivity function, and the thermal conductive layer can provide a thermal conductive function to achieve a good heat dissipation effect. Among them, the thermal conductive layer can be a copper glue conductive ink layer.

[0039] Furthermore, a heat conductor connected to an external heat-conducting structure is disposed in the through hole 14. The heat conductor is connected to the external heat-conducting structure from one side of the circuit layer 12 and is also in contact with the heat-conducting layer in the through hole 14, so that the circuit layer 12 and the metal heat dissipation layer 13 can be connected to the external heat-conducting structure through the through hole 14, so that the heat in the FPC 1 can be diffused to the external heat-conducting structure through the heat conductor in the through hole 14, so as to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the FPC 1. Preferably, in order to enable the through hole 14 to be connected to the external heat-conducting structure, the through hole 14 is disposed at the edge of the FPC 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the metal heat dissipation layer 13 is a uniform heat dissipation structure, and its structure can be any one of a mesh structure, a strip structure, a wavy structure or a honeycomb structure. Through the uniform heat dissipation structure, the heat dissipation effect can be better improved.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] See also Figure 4 As a further optimization scheme of Example 1, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional code laser area is further provided on the upper surface of FPC1. A black ink layer 101 and a white ink layer 102 provided on the black ink layer 101 are provided on the upper surface of FPC1 located on the two-dimensional code laser area. The white ink layer 102 is formed with a two-dimensional code by laser. Since two layers of ink are provided, the black ink layer 101 and the white ink layer 102, the surface white ink layer 102 is lasered off by laser to expose the bottom black ink layer 101. The area where the laser is lasered is displayed as black. The two-dimensional code generated in this way has a good contrast effect and is easy to scan. At the same time, the two-dimensional code will not fall off and be damaged, which prevents the two-dimensional code from being invalid, and greatly reduces the labor cost.

[0043] Furthermore, the thickness of the black ink layer 101 is 30 μm. ~ 40 μm. The thickness of the white ink layer 102 is 10 μm ~ 20μm. This thickness is the thickness that the commonly used ultraviolet laser can just penetrate, and there is no dust around after the laser irradiation, which has the advantages of high rhythm and efficiency. The reason why the thickness of the lower black ink layer 101 is thicker than the thickness of the upper white ink layer 102 is to avoid laser power energy fluctuations and prevent the black ink layer 101 from being penetrated by the laser and causing damage to the internal layer of FPC1.

[0044] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
