Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible circuit board technology, specifically a flexible circuit board for lighting applications. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing use of high-power light-emitting diodes in automotive lights and other applications, the aluminum substrate of rigid circuit boards used in the past had excellent heat dissipation, but poor assembly consistency and reliability, as well as requiring a large assembly space. Therefore, the use of flexible circuit boards to replace the original aluminum-based rigid circuit boards has become a new direction for the development of the electronics, electrical components and circuit board industries.
[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN205093038U discloses a flexible circuit board for LED lighting products, comprising a solder resist layer, a copper foil layer, an upper hot-press adhesive layer, a polyimide layer, a lower hot-press adhesive layer, and an aluminum plate. The copper foil layer, the upper hot-press adhesive layer, and the polyimide layer are laminated to form a single-sided substrate for FPC. The aluminum plate is laminated to the single-sided substrate for FPC via the lower hot-press adhesive layer to form an FPC substrate. Positive and negative electrode connection lines are etched on both sides of the FPC substrate, and both the positive and negative electrode connection lines are flexible and foldable. This utility model is based on flexible circuit board processing technology. It uses a double-sided etching process to simultaneously etch copper foil and aluminum reinforcement to form a circuit board. It also reserves external wiring required for assembly and soldering on the circuit board and prints white solder resist ink on the circuit board surface, forming a flexible circuit board for LED lighting products with excellent flexibility and heat dissipation, which can be directly soldered using the reserved connection lines of the FPC.
[0004] Based on the above patent searches and the findings of existing technology, flexible circuit boards have been gradually applied in various electronic devices. However, when traditional flexible circuit boards are used for extended periods, the bending process can cause delamination and copper foil breakage at the top, which can affect the reliability and stability of the circuit board. Furthermore, the lack of internal waterproofing can also lead to further damage to the flexible circuit board, all of which affect the usability of the device. Utility Model Content
