The planar shape of the substrate 20 is not particularly limited. The substrate 20 has, for example, a substantially rectangular planar shape. 【0017】 The substrate 20 has an insulating base material and conductors.

A via conductor is formed by placing a conductor, such as plating, in a through-hole (via) formed in the insulating layer constituting the insulating substrate. Via conductors electrically connect wiring between different layers. Through-hole lands are formed on the wall surface of through-holes that penetrate the substrate 20 in the Z direction. The conductor may also include conductors that do not provide circuit function (wiring function), such as conductors for heat dissipation. 【0019】 The illustrated substrate 20 is a multilayer substrate including inner layer wiring. The substrate 20 has lands 23 and 24 as conductors. The lands 23 and 24 are electrically connected to the ground layer 25, which is an inner layer wiring.

The socket body 31 has a mounting portion 311, a partition portion 312, and an outer peripheral edge portion 313. The mounting portion 311 is the portion where a plurality of modules 40 are arranged. The partition portion 312 divides the mounting portion 311 into a plurality of regions corresponding to the modules 40. The outer peripheral edge portion 313 is provided so as to surround the mounting portion 311 and the partition portion 312. 【0023】 The illustrated socket body 31 is box-shaped with one side open in the Z direction.

The partitioned section 312 includes a portion extending in the X direction and a portion extending in the Y direction. In the partitioned section 312, the portion extending in the X direction and the portion extending in the Y direction intersect. The bottom of the partitioned section 312 is divided into four mounting sections 311 corresponding to the module 40. The mounting sections 311 are located at each of the four corners. At the bottom of the socket body 31, the partitioned section 312 is thinner than the mounting sections 311. The partitioned section 312 is connected to the mounting sections 311 such that its surface facing the substrate 20 is flush. The mounting sections 311 are thick-walled, and the partitioned section 312 is thin-walled. 【0025】 The shape and size of some of the mounting portions 311 may differ from the shape and size of other parts of the mounting portion 311.

The contact pins 322 electrically connect the projection 52 of the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20. The contact pins 322 are arranged in the compartment 312. The number of contact pins 322 is not particularly limited. There may be one or more per projection 52. The example contact pin 32 includes multiple contact pins 322 arranged along the compartment 312. The multiple contact pins 322 are arranged over substantially the entire length of the compartment 312 in the extending direction. 【0028】 Contact pin 32 is connected to the corresponding land on the substrate 20 via solder 35 located on the underside of socket 30. The solder 35 is, for example, ball-shaped. Contact pin 321 is electrically connected to the corresponding land via solder 35. Contact pin 322 is electrically connected to the corresponding land 23 via solder 35. 【0029】 The metal member 33, which is an element of the socket 30, is provided for purposes such as improving the strength and heat dissipation of the socket 30. The metal member 33 is located on the outside of the socket body 31. The metal member 33 is located adjacent to the outer peripheral edge of the socket body 31.

The upper end of the metal member 33 is located approximately at the same level as, or above, the upper end of the outer peripheral edge 313 in the Z direction. The metal member 33 has a roughly rectangular annular shape in plan so as to surround the socket body 31. The metal member 33 is fixed to the substrate 20 directly or indirectly. The metal member 33 may be fixed to the substrate 20 by, for example, soldering or by screw fastening. The metal member 33 has through holes 331 formed therein for fixing the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20. The through holes 331 are provided corresponding to through holes 26 in the substrate 20. The illustrated through holes 331 are provided at each of the four corners of the rectangle of the metal member 33. 【0031】 Module 40 is placed on one side 21 of the substrate 20 via a socket 30. Module 40 is electrically connected to the substrate 20 via the socket 30. Module 40 forms a circuit together with the substrate 20. Module 40 may be a circuit board on which electronic components are mounted, or it may be a semiconductor package having at least one semiconductor chip. Module 40 may also be an IC chip such as a microcontroller. The electronic device 10 has multiple modules 40. 【0032】 The example module 40 includes modules 40A, 40B, 40C, and 40D. Modules 40A, 40B, 40C, and 40D are modularized by functional unit. The four modules 40 are circuit boards. These circuit boards are sometimes referred to as sub-boards. Each module 40 comprises a substrate 41 and electronic components 42 mounted on the substrate 41. Module 40 is located on the mounting section 311 of the socket body 31. The substrate 41 has lands 43 on its lower surface, which is the surface facing the mounting section 311. The lands 43 are arranged in a grid pattern on the lower surface of the substrate 41. The electronic components 42 are located on the upper surface of the substrate 41. Module 40 is an LGA type module. LGA is an abbreviation for Land Grid Array. 【0033】 The pressing member 50 is made of a conductive material. The pressing member 50 is formed using a metallic material such as Al, Cu, or Mg. The pressing member 50 presses multiple modules 40 to ensure good electrical conductivity through contact between the modules 40 and the socket 30 (contact pins 321). The pressing member 50 presses the multiple modules 40 toward the socket 30, i.e. toward the substrate 20, in the Z direction. In addition to the function of pressing the modules 40, the pressing member 50 may also have other functions, such as dissipating heat generated by the modules 40. 【0034】 The pressing member 50 comprises at least a base 51 and a projection 52. The exemplary pressing member 50 further comprises a heat dissipation fin 53. The base 51 is positioned to overlap with the multiple modules 40 in a plan view. The base 51 presses the multiple modules 40 against the socket 30. The projection 52 extends from the base 51 toward the substrate 20. The projection 52 is located between the modules 40 in a plan view. 【0035】 The illustrated base 51 is a flat plate with a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The base 51 is provided so as to enclose the socket body 31 in plan view. The base 51 is provided so as to substantially match the outer contour of the socket 30, which includes the metal member 33, in plan view. The lower surface of the base 51, which is the surface facing the substrate 20, is in direct or indirect contact with the electronic component 42 of the module 40. The illustrated base 51 is in contact with the electronic component 42 via the heat conductive member 60. Under pressure from the base 51, the land 43 of the module 40 ensures good conductivity with the corresponding contact pin 321. 【0036】 The lower surface of the base 51 is in direct or indirect contact with the upper end of the metal member 33. In the example, the base 51 is in direct contact with the upper end of the metal member 33. The outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the base 51 is supported by the metal member 33. In the supported state, the base 51 presses against the module 40. The base 51 has through holes 511 formed therein for fixing the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20. Multiple through holes 511 are provided in the base 51. In the example, the through holes 511 are provided at each of the four corners of the rectangle. The through holes 511 are provided corresponding to the through holes 331 in the metal member 33. 【0037】 The projection 52 is connected to the lower surface of the base 51 and extends toward the substrate 20. The projection 52 is in direct or indirect contact with the socket 30. In the example, the projection 52 is in direct contact with the contact pins 322 of the socket 30. In plan view, the projection 52 is positioned so as to overlap with the partition 312 but not with the mounting portion 311. The projection 52 has a roughly cross shape in plan view. The projection 52 has a first extension 521 extending in the X direction and a second extension 522 extending in the Y direction. In plan view, the projection 52 is approximately the same size as the partition 312, or slightly smaller than the partition 312. The tip 523 of the projection 52 is in contact with all the contact pins 322 protruding from the partition 312. When pressed, the projection 52 contacts the contact pins 322, ensuring good electrical conductivity between it and the contact pins. 【0038】 The protrusion 52 demarcates the arrangement area for multiple modules 40, one module 40 at a time. The protrusion 52 separates the mounting section 311 from the modules 40. The protrusion 52 blocks the space between adjacent modules 40. In the example, the protrusion 52 extends in the Z direction to a position closer to the substrate 20 than to the modules 40. The tip 523 is located below the land-forming surface of the substrate 41. The tip 523 is located below the upper surface of the mounting section 311. In the direction of the arrangement of modules 40, the protrusion 52 completely blocks the space between adjacent modules 40. 【0039】 The heat dissipation fins 53 are connected to the base 51. By providing the heat dissipation fins 53, the heat exchange area can be increased. The shape, number, and arrangement of the heat dissipation fins 53 are not particularly limited. The example heat dissipation fins 53 extend from the upper surface of the base 51 in the Z direction, away from the substrate 20. The pressing member 50 has a plurality of heat dissipation fins 53. The heat dissipation fins 53 have a substantially rectangular shape in plan, with the Y direction as the longitudinal direction and the X direction as the short direction. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 53 are arranged in the X direction at a predetermined pitch. The heat dissipation fins 53 are provided such that at least a portion of the heat dissipation fins 53 overlap with the module 40. 【0040】 The cooling method may be air cooling or water cooling. For example, a heat dissipation fin 53 may be placed in the flow path of a cooler (not shown), and heat exchange may occur between the heat dissipation fin 53 and the refrigerant. The base 51 may form part of a cooler having a flow path. Pin fins may be used instead of flat heat dissipation fins 53. 【0041】 The heat conduction member 60 is positioned to enhance heat dissipation when the pressing member 50 functions as a heat dissipation member. The heat conduction member 60 is interposed between the base 51 and the electronic component 42 and is in contact with the base 51 and the electronic component 42. The heat conduction member 60 transfers the heat generated by the electronic component 42 to the pressing member 50. The heat conduction member 60 is a TIM such as a heat dissipation gel or a heat conductive sheet. TIM is an abbreviation for Thermal Interface Material. The heat conduction member 60 is provided so as to overlap with at least some of the electronic components 42 provided in the multiple modules 40. The heat conduction member 60 is provided in a position that overlaps with the electronic components 42 that generate particularly large amounts of heat among the multiple electronic components 42. The heat conduction member 60 thermally connects the electronic component 42 and the base 51. 【0042】 The spring member 70 applies a force to the base 51 of the pressing member 50 that presses the module 40 against it. The spring member 70 applies a reaction force of spring deformation to the base 51 as the force pressing the module 40 against it. The example spring member 70 includes a metal spring member 70A positioned between the head 801 of the screw 80 and the base 51. The spring member 70A is positioned separately from the screw 80. When the pressing member 50 is fixed to the substrate 20 by the screw 80, the spring member 70A generates a reaction force due to deformation in the Z direction. This maintains the pressing state of the module 40 by the base 51. 【0043】 The screw 80 is a fastening member that fixes the pressing member 50 to the base plate 20. The screw 80 has a head 801 and a column portion 802 that is connected to the head 801 and extends in the Z direction. The illustrated electronic device 10 includes a bush 81 fixed to the base plate 20. The bush 81 is inserted through a through hole 26 in the base plate 20. The bush 81 is fixed to the base plate 20 by press-fitting or the like. The end of the bush 81 is locked to the back surface 22. The bush 81 has a portion that protrudes toward one side 21. At least a part of the protruding portion of the bush 81 is inserted into a through hole 331 in the metal member 33. The bush 81 has a screw hole 811 that opens at its upper end. The screw 80 is inserted into the screw hole 811 through the through hole 511 in the base 51 and the through hole 331 in the metal member 33, and is screwed into the screw hole 811. In this screwed-in state, i.e., fixed state, the spring member 70A is compressed between the head 801 and the base 51. The base 51 is electrically connected to the land 24 via the screw 80 and the bush 81. The base 51 is electrically connected to the land 24 via the metal member 33. 【0044】 <Summary of the First Embodiment> The electronic device 10 of this embodiment comprises a substrate 20, a socket 30, a plurality of modules 40, and a pressing member 50 composed of a conductive material. The socket 30 is positioned on one surface 21 of the substrate 20 and is mounted on the substrate 20. The plurality of modules 40 are electrically connected to the substrate 20 via the socket 30. The pressing member 50 is positioned to overlap the plurality of modules 40 in a plan view in the thickness direction of the substrate 20 and has a base 51 that presses the plurality of modules 40 against the socket 30, and a projection 52 that extends from the base 51 toward the substrate 20. The projection 52 is positioned between the modules 40 in a plan view. 【0045】 As described above, instead of directly mounting the multiple modules 40 to the substrate 20, the multiple modules 40 are electrically connected to the substrate 20 via sockets 30. The pressing member 50 ensures good electrical conductivity between the multiple modules 40 and the sockets 30, and consequently, the substrate 20. Therefore, the modules 40 can be easily removed from the substrate. The pressing member 50 is also provided with a projection 52 that protrudes from the base 51 toward the substrate 20 and is located between the modules 40 in a plan view. The projection 52 functions as a shield against electromagnetic noise between the modules 40. Compared to a configuration without the projection 52, the influence of electromagnetic noise generated by any module 40 on other modules 40 can be reduced. Therefore, EMC immunity can be improved. 【0046】 Since the pressing member 50 is made of a conductive material, it can dissipate the heat generated by the multiple modules 40 through the pressing member 50. However, the base 51 that presses the multiple modules 40 together needs to be of a certain size, which makes the base 51 prone to warping. However, by providing the protrusion 52, the rigidity of the pressing member 50 can be increased, and the warping of the base 51 can be suppressed. This allows the heat generated by the multiple modules 40 to be dissipated efficiently. In addition, good electrical conductivity between the modules 40 and the socket 30 can be ensured. 【0047】 As illustrated, the protrusions 52 may be provided to demarcate the arrangement area of ​​multiple modules 40 for each module 40. This reduces the impact of electromagnetic noise generated by one module 40 on another module 40, compared to a configuration in which the protrusions 52 are placed only in a small portion of the opposing area between adjacent modules 40. In other words, EMC immunity can be further improved. 【0048】 As illustrated, the protrusion 52 may be provided such that the tip 523 is located closer to the substrate 20 than the multiple modules 40 in the thickness direction. This reduces the influence of electromagnetic noise generated by one module 40 on another module 40 compared to a configuration where the tip 523 is located further from the substrate 20 than the modules 40. In other words, EMC immunity can be further improved. 【0049】 As illustrated, the protrusion 52 may come into contact with the socket 30. Compared to a configuration in which the protrusion 52 does not come into contact with the socket 30, i.e., a configuration in which the tip 523 is located above the socket 30, EMC resistance can be improved. 【0050】 As illustrated, the protrusion 52 may be electrically connected to a conductor on the substrate 20 that provides a predetermined potential. In the illustrated electronic device 10, the protrusion 52 is electrically connected to a land 23 that provides a ground potential via a socket 30. This fixes the pressing member 50 at the predetermined potential, thereby enhancing the shielding effect against electromagnetic noise. Electromagnetic noise can be shielded by the pressing member 50 and the conductor on the substrate 20. Note that the predetermined potential is not limited to the ground potential. For example, it may be the power supply potential. 【0051】 As illustrated, a spring member 70 may be provided. The spring member 70 applies a force to the base 51 of the pressing member 50 that presses the module 40. By utilizing the reaction force of spring deformation, the base 51 can press the module 40 with a simple configuration. 【0052】 As illustrated, the electronic device 10 may be provided with a fastening member to fix the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20. The illustrated electronic device 10 is provided with a screw 80 as a fastening member. In a configuration that includes a fastening member to fix to the substrate 20, the pressing member 50 may be electrically connected to a conductor on the substrate 20 that provides a predetermined potential. In the illustrated electronic device 10, the pressing member 50 is electrically connected to a land 24 that provides a ground potential. As a result, the pressing member 50 is fixed at a predetermined potential, thereby enhancing the shielding effect against electromagnetic noise. Note that the predetermined potential is not limited to the ground potential. For example, it may be the power supply potential. 【0053】 As illustrated, a heat conductive member 60 may be provided interposed between at least one of the multiple modules 40 and the pressing member 50. The heat conductive member 60 contributes, for example, to increasing the contact area and improving adhesion. Therefore, heat dissipation can be improved compared to a configuration in which the module 40 is in direct contact with the pressing member 50 (base 51). 【0054】 As illustrated, heat dissipation fins 53 connected to the base 51 may be provided on the pressing member 50. By providing heat dissipation fins 53, for example, the surface area (heat dissipation area) can be increased, thereby improving heat dissipation. 【0055】 <Variation> Although an example has been shown in which the socket 30 includes a metal member 33, it is not limited to this. A separate metal member that has a support function for the pressing member 50 may be provided in addition to the socket 30. The socket 30 may also be configured without the metal member 33. 【0056】 The number of modules 40 and the number of mounting sections 311 are not limited to the examples described above. The shape of the compartment section 312 and the shape of the protruding section 52 are not limited to the examples described above. For example, as shown in Figure 7, module 40 may include modules 40E and 40F. In other words, it may have two modules 40. Figure 7 corresponds to Figure 2. Modules 40E and 40F have a roughly rectangular shape in plan with the Y direction as the longitudinal direction and the X direction as the transverse direction. Modules 40E and 40F are aligned in the X direction. The socket body 31 has two mounting sections 311 and one compartment section 312. The compartment section 312 has a roughly I-shape in plan extending in the Y direction. The protruding section 52 also has a roughly I-shape in plan, similar to the compartment section 312. Although an example of two modules 40 has been shown, it may have three modules 40, or five or more modules 40. 【0057】 An example of screwing the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20 has been shown, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Figure 8, the pressing member 50 may be screwed to the socket 30. Figure 8 corresponds to Figure 6. The electronic device 10 is equipped with a screw 82 as a fastening member for fixing the pressing member 50 to the socket 30. In Figure 8, the metal member 33 has a screw hole 332 that opens at its upper end. The screw 82 has a head 821 and a column 822. The column 822 is inserted into the screw hole 332 through a through hole 511 in the base 51 and is screwed into the screw hole 332. The land 24 is located on the surface layer of one side 21 of the substrate 20. The base 51 is electrically connected to the land 24 via the metal member 33. 【0058】 (Second Embodiment) This embodiment is a modification based on the prior embodiment, and the description of the prior embodiment can be referenced. In the prior embodiment, the protrusion was in contact with the socket. Alternatively, the protrusion may be in contact with the substrate. 【0059】 Figure 9 is a plan view showing an example of an electronic device according to this embodiment. In Figure 9, as in Figure 3, the pressing member and module are omitted. Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the electronic device. Figure 10 corresponds to Figure 6. 【0060】 In the electronic device 10 of this embodiment, the structure of the socket 30 differs from that of the prior embodiment. The socket body 31 has four mounting portions 311, an outer peripheral edge portion 313, and an opening 314. The opening 314 penetrates the bottom of the socket body 31 in the Z direction. The illustrated opening 314 is a through hole provided in the portion corresponding to the partition portion 312 described in the prior embodiment. The opening 314 has a substantially cross shape in plan. At the bottom of the socket body 31, the opening 314 partitions the mounting portion 311 into four sections. The contact pins 32 include a contact pin 321 arranged on the mounting portion 311, but do not include a contact pin 322. 【0061】 The projection 52 has a substantially cross shape in plan, similar to the prior embodiment. In the Z direction, the projection 52 is longer than the projection 52 shown in the prior embodiment. The projection 52 passes through the opening 314. The tip 523 of the projection 52 is in contact with one surface 21 of the substrate 20. The projection 52 is electrically connected to the land 23 by contacting the land 23. In Figure 10, the projection 52 is in direct contact with the land 23, but it may be indirectly in contact via a conductive gasket or the like. The other configurations are the same as those described in the prior embodiment. 【0062】 <Summary of the second embodiment> In this embodiment as well, the protrusion 52 is provided such that the tip 523 is located closer to the substrate 20 than the multiple modules 40 in the thickness direction of the plate. Therefore, EMC resistance can be further improved. In addition, the protrusion 52 is electrically connected to the land 23 that provides ground potential. This enhances the shielding effect against electromagnetic noise. 【0063】 As illustrated, the protrusion 52 may come into contact with the substrate 20. By increasing the length of the protrusion 52, EMC resistance can be improved compared to a configuration in which it comes into contact with the socket 30. 【0064】 As illustrated, the protrusion 52 may be brought into contact with the substrate 20 through an opening 314 provided in the socket 30. This improves EMC resistance without increasing the number of components. 【0065】 (Third embodiment) This embodiment is a modification based on the prior embodiment, and the description of the prior embodiment can be referenced. In the prior embodiment, a screw member was placed on the base. Alternatively, a spring member may be placed on the back surface of the substrate. 【0066】 Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of an electronic device according to this embodiment. Figure 11 corresponds to Figure 6. Figure 12 is a plan view showing the electronic device. Figure 12 corresponds to Figure 2. In Figure 12, the spring member is shown with a dashed line to indicate its positional relationship, and the protruding part is shown with a dashed-dotted line. The support part of the pressing member is also shown. 【0067】 In the electronic device 10 of this embodiment, the socket 30 does not have a metal member 33. Instead of a metal member 33, the pressing member 50 has a support portion 54. The support portion 54 extends from the base 51 toward the substrate 20. The support portion 54 only needs to be structured to support the other part of the pressing member 50 on one surface 21 of the substrate 20. The support portion 54 may be provided, for example, so as to surround the socket 30 in a plan view. Multiple support portions 54 may be arranged in a distributed configuration. The illustrated support portion 54 has a substantially rectangular ring shape in plan so as to surround the socket 30. 【0068】 The support portion 54 has a screw hole 55 opening at its lower end for fixing the pressing member 50 to the substrate 20. The screw hole 55 is provided corresponding to the through hole 26 in the substrate 20. In the example, the screw holes 55 are provided at each of the four corners of the rectangle. The lower end of the support portion 54 is in contact with one surface 21 of the substrate 20. The support portion 54 is electrically connected to the land 24 by contacting the land 24. 【0069】 The spring member 70 includes a metal back plate 70B in place of the spring member 70A. The back plate 70B is positioned on the back surface 22 side of the substrate 20. The back plate 70B pulls the pressing member 50 toward the substrate 20 side by the reaction force due to spring deformation, thereby generating a pressing force on the pressing member 50 that presses the module 40. 【0070】 The backplate 70B has a main body 71 and a plurality of legs 72. The main body 71 is provided so as to overlap at least a portion of each module 40 in a plan view. The main body 71 is in contact with the back surface 22 when the backplate 70B is fixed to the substrate 20. The legs 72 are connected to the main body 71. When the backplate 70B is fixed to the substrate 20, at least a portion of the legs 72 are positioned away from the back surface 22. To ensure stable fixation, it is preferable to have three or more legs 72. 【0071】 In the example backplate 70B, the main body 71 is frame-shaped. The main body 71 has a roughly rectangular ring shape in plan view. The main body 71 is positioned to overlap with the substrate 41 of each module 40 in plan view. The legs 72 extend from the four corners of the main body 71. The backplate 70B has four legs 72. The backplate 70B has bends at the boundary between the main body 71 and the legs 72, and at intermediate positions of the legs 72. The legs 72 are provided to be spring-deformable in the Z direction. The legs 72 are positioned away from the back surface 22 for almost their entire length. 【0072】 The end of each leg portion 72 is provided with a through hole 73 for fixing a screw 83 to the support portion 54. Between two adjacent leg portions 72, the distance between their ends is greater than the distance between the connecting ends with the main body portion 71. The leg portions 72 extend diagonally from the main body portion 71. When screwed together, the spring reaction force of the leg portion 72 pulls the pressing member 50 towards the base plate 20, and the base 51 presses the module 40 against the socket 30. The screw 83 has a head 831 and a column portion 832. The column portion 832 of the screw 83 passes through the through hole 73 in the leg portion 72 and the through hole 26 in the base plate 20, and is screwed into the screw hole 55 of the support portion 54. The other configurations are the same as those described in the prior embodiment. 【0073】 <Summary of the third embodiment> The electronic device 10 of this embodiment also includes a spring member 70. By utilizing the reaction force of the spring deformation, the base 51 can press against the module 40 with a simple configuration. 【0074】 As illustrated, the spring member 70 may include a back plate 70B positioned on the back surface 22 of the substrate 20. The back plate 70B is provided so as to overlap at least a portion of each module 40 in a plan view and has a main body portion 71 positioned in contact with the back surface 22, and a plurality of legs 72 connected to the main body portion 71, positioned away from the back surface 22, and mechanically connected to the pressing member 50 through through holes 26. The base 51 is pulled towards the substrate 20 by the reaction force due to the spring deformation of the back plate 70B, and presses the modules 40. 【0075】 This design allows for easy removal of the module 40, improves EMC resistance, and reduces the number of components in the electronic device 10. Furthermore, the backplate 70B suppresses warping of the substrate 20. This ensures good electrical conductivity between the module 40 and the socket 30, and consequently, the substrate 20. For example, it maintains good thermal connection between the electronic component 42 and the base 51, improving heat dissipation. For example, it ensures good electrical conductivity between the protrusion 52 and the land 23. And it ensures good electrical conductivity between the support portion 54 and the land 24. 【0076】 The configuration shown in the second embodiment, specifically the configuration in which the socket 30 has an opening 314 and the protruding portion 52 contacts the substrate 20 through the opening 314, may be combined with the configuration shown in this embodiment. 【0077】 (Other embodiments) The disclosures in this specification and drawings are not limited to the exemplary embodiments. The disclosures include the exemplary embodiments and variations thereof by those skilled in the art. For example, the disclosures are not limited to combinations of parts and / or elements shown in the embodiments. The disclosures are implementable in a variety of combinations.

The disclosures in the specification and drawings encompass the technical ideas described in the claims and extend to a wider and more diverse range of technical ideas than those described in the claims. Therefore, a variety of technical ideas can be extracted from the disclosures in the specification and drawings without being bound by the claims. 【0079】 When an element or layer is referred to as “on top of,” “connected to,” “linked to,” or “joined,” it may be directly on top of, connected to, or joined to another element or layer, and there may also be an intervening element or layer. In contrast, when an element is referred to as “directly on top of,” “directly connected to,” “directly linked to,” or “directly joined to” another element or layer, there is no intervening element or layer. Other words used to describe relationships between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner (e.g., “between” vs. “directly between,” “adjacent” vs. “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used in this specification, the term “and / or” includes any combination and all combinations relating to one or more of the enumerated items relating to each other. That is, the statement A and / or B means at least one of A and B. 【0080】 Spatially relative terms such as "inside," "outside," "back," "below," "low," "above," and "high" are used here to facilitate descriptions of the relationship between one element or feature and other elements or features, as illustrated. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation, in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the device in the drawing is turned upside down, an element described as "below" or "directly below" another element or feature will be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the term "below" can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may also be oriented in other directions (it may be rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatially relative descriptors used in this specification will be interpreted accordingly. 【0081】 (Disclosure of technical ideas) This specification discloses several technical concepts, as listed in the following paragraphs.
