A first chip shadow 200a is formed on the first heat dissipation part 121. An imaginary line Y passes through the first heat dissipation part 121, the second heat dissipation part 122, and the third heat dissipation part 123. A third width W3 of the third heat dissipation part 123 is not smaller than a first width W1 of the first heat dissipation part 121 and a second width W2 of the second heat dissipation part 122. The heat dissipation sheet 120 includes a first notch part 124 located at the first heat dissipation portion 121 and exposing the substrate, and the first chip shadow 200a is located between the first notch part 124 and the third heat dissipation part 123.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] A conventional thin-film circuit board 10 includes a substrate 11 and a heat dissipation sheet 12 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The heat dissipation sheet 12 is attached to the surface 11a of the substrate 11 by an adhesive 13, a chip 20 is bonded to the other surface 11b of the substrate 11, and the heat dissipation sheet 12 is used to reduce the temperature during the operation of the chip 20. However, since the material properties (e.g., plasticity, ductility, thermal expansion coefficient, etc.) of the substrate 11, the heat dissipation sheet 12, and the adhesive 13 are different, when the substrate 11, the heat dissipation sheet 12, and the adhesive 13 are affected by the process environment temperature or clamped by a jig, warpage or bending occurs in the thin-film circuit board 10, and the thin-film circuit board 10 cannot be accurately bonded to an electronic element.

[0004] The inventor of the present invention considered that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of intensive studies, the present invention was proposed to effectively improve the above-mentioned problems through a rational design.

[0005] As a result of intensive studies, the inventors of the present invention have found that the above object can be achieved by adopting a configuration of a thin film circuit board that prevents warping and bending of the thin film circuit board by attaching a non-rectangular polygon heat dissipation sheet to a substrate, and have completed the present invention.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, a thin film circuit board according to an aspect of the present invention includes a substrate and a heat dissipation sheet. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface, and the second surface is used for bonding a first chip and a second chip. The heat dissipation sheet is attached to the first surface of the substrate, and the contour of the heat dissipation sheet presents a non-rectangular polygon. The heat dissipation sheet has a first heat dissipation portion, a second heat dissipation portion, and a third heat dissipation portion. The third heat dissipation portion is located between the first heat dissipation portion and the second heat dissipation portion, and the third heat dissipation portion is connected to the first heat dissipation portion and the second heat dissipation portion. The first chip and the second chip are installed on the heat dissipation sheet, and a first chip shadow and a second chip shadow are respectively formed. The first chip is installed in a first region of the second surface, the second chip is installed in a second region of the second surface, the first chip and the second chip are alternately arranged on the second surface and expose a third region located between the first region and the second region. The first chip is located directly above the first heat dissipation portion and forms the first chip shadow on the first heat dissipation portion. The second chip is located directly above the second heat dissipation portion and forms the second chip shadow on the second heat dissipation portion. The third region is located above the third heat dissipation portion. A virtual line passes through the first heat dissipation portion, the second heat dissipation portion, and the third heat dissipation portion. Along a direction perpendicular to the virtual line, the third width of the third heat dissipation portion is not smaller than the first width of the first heat dissipation portion and the second width of the second heat dissipation portion. The heat dissipation sheet has a first notch portion that is located in the first heat dissipation portion and exposes the substrate, and the first chip shadow is located between the first notch portion and the third heat dissipation portion.

Advantages of the Invention

[0007] The contour of the heat dissipation sheet according to the present invention presents a non-rectangular polygon, and the third heat dissipation part is connected to the first heat dissipation part and the second heat dissipation part. Thereby, the bending resistance strength of the substrate is increased, and the stress generated in the heat dissipation sheet and the substrate is reduced, preventing warping and bending of the thin film circuit board, and at the same time increasing the area of the heat dissipation sheet to enhance the heat dissipation effect.

The fourth embodiment corresponds to a mode for carrying out the invention described in the claims.

[0011] (First Embodiment) The configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. The circuit board tape 100A has a plurality of thin-film circuit boards 100, and each of the thin-film circuit boards 100 has a substrate 110 and a heat dissipation sheet 120. The contour of the heat dissipation sheet 120 presents a non-rectangular polygon, and the heat dissipation sheet 120 is adhered to the first surface 110a of the substrate 110 by an adhesive 130.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the contour of the heat dissipation sheet 120 approximates an inverted A shape. The heat dissipation sheet 120 has a first heat dissipation portion 121, a second heat dissipation portion 122, and a third heat dissipation portion 123.

In this embodiment, along the direction perpendicular to the virtual line Y, the third width W3 of the third heat dissipation portion 123 is smaller than the first width W1 of the first heat dissipation portion 121 and the second width W2 of the second heat dissipation portion 122. Preferably, the third heat dissipation portion 123 has a third side surface 123a, and the first virtual line Y1 extending outward along the third side surface 123a passes through the first chip shadow 200a, increasing the warping resistance and bending resistance strength of the third heat dissipation portion 123.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 4, the heat dissipation sheet 120 has a first notch portion 124 located on one side of the third heat dissipation portion 123.

[0018] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation sheet 120 further has a second notch portion 126 located on the first heat dissipation portion 121. The second notch portion 126 exposes the first surface 110a of the substrate 110.

When the jig 400 clamps the first part 111 of the thin film circuit board 100, the second part 112 of the thin film circuit board 100 can be accurately joined to the electronic element 500 (for example, a display panel or a circuit board), solving the problem that a conventional thin film circuit board is bent under the influence of gravity and cannot be accurately joined to the electronic element.

The first heat dissipation portion 121 and the second heat dissipation portion 122 are integrally connected by the third heat dissipation portion 123 and / or the fourth heat dissipation portion 125, so as to increase the heat dissipation area of the heat dissipation sheet 120 to enhance the heat dissipation effect, and to increase the bending resistance strength of the substrate 110 to prevent warping and bending of the thin film circuit board 100.
