Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a circuit board, an assembly part set for an electrical device, and an electrical device. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as described in the following Patent Document 1, development has been carried out on backlights for liquid crystal displays as an example of electrical devices. A technology called local dimming is used in backlights. Local dimming is a technology in which the backlight is divided into multiple regions and the brightness of each of the multiple regions is controlled separately.

[0003] In the backlight disclosed in the above Patent Document 1, each of the multiple regions in which local dimming is performed is configured by a circuit board on which a light-emitting element is mounted. More specifically, in the backlight, multiple circuit boards are arranged in a matrix. Furthermore, multiple light-emitting elements, for example multiple LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), are mounted on the surface of each of the multiple circuit boards. The multiple LEDs are electrically connected to form an electric circuit on the surface of the circuit board. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-288194 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the backlight as an example of an electric device disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the board electric circuit extends from the back surface of each of a set of circuit boards arranged in a matrix to one LED control board. Therefore, the pattern of the board electric circuit on the back surface is different for each of the set of circuit boards. Therefore, when the size of the backlight is changed, it becomes necessary to change the board electric circuit on the back surface of the set of circuit boards. Therefore, it is not possible to flexibly respond to the change in size of the backlight. In other words, it is not easy to change the size of the electric device.

[0011] Hereinafter, the circuit board, the assembly part set for an electric device, and the electric device of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are given the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions of the same or equivalent elements will not be repeated.

[0012] (Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a circuit board CB according to the first embodiment.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the circuit board CB includes a board B and a first connector C1 and a second connector C2 provided on the surface of the board B. The structure provided on the surface of the circuit board CB is symmetrical with respect to an imaginary line connecting the midpoints of the opposing long sides of a rectangle in a plan view. It is assumed that nothing is formed on the back surface of the circuit board CB in this embodiment. In other words, it is assumed that only the flat surface of the board B exists as the back surface of the circuit board CB in this embodiment.

[0014] The substrate B is a plate material having a rectangular shape in a plan view. The substrate B has insulating properties. An electric circuit EC is provided on the surface of the substrate B. A pair of substrate electric paths EP and another pair of substrate electric paths EPa are provided on the surface of the substrate B. The pair of substrate electric paths EP are made up of a pair of electrical wiring EW. The other pair of substrate electric paths EPa is also made up of a pair of electrical wiring EW. However, the pair of substrate electric paths EP and the other pair of substrate electric paths EPa may be any path through which electricity flows, and may include metal fittings (not shown) other than the electrical wiring EW.

[0015] The electric circuit EC includes a plurality of light-emitting elements L. The light-emitting elements L are connected in series by circuit wiring CW printed on the surface of the substrate B. Each of the light-emitting elements L is an LED (Light Emitting Diode). In this embodiment, the light-emitting elements L are arranged in a matrix on the surface of the substrate B. Therefore, the light emitted by the light-emitting elements L on the surface of the substrate B is made uniform.

[0016] The multiple light-emitting elements L and circuit wiring CW constituting the electric circuit EC shown in Fig. 1 are arranged symmetrically with respect to an imaginary line (not shown) connecting the midpoints of the opposing long sides of the rectangle of the substrate B. However, in Fig. 1, for ease of viewing the drawing, reference symbols are not given to the light-emitting elements on the right side of the imaginary line among the multiple light-emitting elements L.

[0017] Note that the electric circuit EC may include any element such as a capacitor, a resistor, a coil, a transistor, or any other circuit element in addition to or instead of the plurality of light-emitting elements L. In other words, the electric circuit EC may be anything that functions as an electric circuit.

[0018] The first connector C1 includes a pair of circuit pins CP and a pair of first pins P1. The pair of circuit pins CP are connected to both ends of an electric circuit EC, respectively. The pair of first pins P1 are not connected to the electric circuit EC. In other words, the pair of first pins P1 are isolated from the electric circuit EC. The first connector C1 further includes another pair of first pins P1a.

[0019] The second connector C2 includes a pair of second pins P2. The pair of second pins P2 is not connected to the electric circuit EC. That is, the pair of second pins P2 is isolated from the electric circuit EC. The second connector C2 includes another pair of second pins P2a. The other pair of second pins P2a is not connected to the electric circuit EC. That is, the other pair of second pins P2a is isolated from the electric circuit EC.

[0020] In this specification, all pins may be of any type as long as they are conductive and function as electrical connection parts.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 each have a rod shape extending in the longitudinal direction, i.e., along the long side, of the rectangular substrate B. The first connector C1 and the second connector C2 are arranged on the surface of the substrate B so as to face each other. The pair of substrate electric paths EP are provided between the first connector C1 and the second connector C2. This allows the substrate electric paths EP to be shortened. Therefore, the area occupied by the pair of substrate electric paths EP on the main surface of the substrate B can be reduced. As a result, the main surface of the substrate B can be effectively utilized.

[0022] The pair of board electric traces EP includes a plurality of electric wirings EW printed on the main surface of the board B. Each of the pair of board electric traces EP connects a pair of first pins P1 and a pair of second pins P2. Therefore, an electric signal can be transmitted to another circuit board CB via one circuit board CB using the pair of board electric traces EP. Specifically, as described later with reference to FIG. 3, the control unit CT can transmit an electric signal to the second circuit board CB(2) via the first circuit board CB(1).

[0023] 1, the other pair of board electric circuits EPa are connected to the other pair of first pins P1a and the other pair of second pins P2a, respectively. Therefore, an electrical signal can be transmitted to the other circuit board CB via the other pair of board electric circuits EPa of one circuit board CB and the pair of board electric circuits EP of the other circuit board CB. More specifically, as described later with reference to FIG. 6, the control unit CT can transmit a signal to the third circuit board CB(3) via the other pair of board electric circuits EPa of the first circuit board CB(1) and the pair of board electric circuits EP of the second circuit board CB(2).

[0024] FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the surface of the connection portion CN according to the first embodiment.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the connection part CN can be connected to each of the two circuit boards CB. The connection part CN is configured by an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable). In FIG. 2, only the wiring part of the FFC is illustrated from the viewpoint of ease of viewing the drawing. Both ends of the connection part CN are provided with one connector CX and the other connector CY, respectively. The one connector CX and the other connector CY are connected to the first connector C1 and the second connector C2, respectively. Specifically, the one connector CX is inserted into the recess of the first connector C1 along the surface of the board B. The other connector CY is inserted into the recess of the second connector C2 along the surface of the board B. The circuit board CB connection part CN includes a pair of connection electric circuits LP. The pair of connection electric circuits LP can electrically connect a pair of second pins P2 of one of the two circuit boards CB and a pair of circuit pins CP of the other of the two circuit boards CB (see FIG. 3).

[0026] The assembly parts set of the electric device of this embodiment includes a plurality of circuit boards CB shown in FIG. 1 and at least one connection part CN shown in FIG. 2. In this specification, the assembly parts set of the electric device means a state of an assembly in which a plurality of circuit boards CB and at least one connection part CN are individually separated but form a set. According to this assembly parts set of the electric device, the size of the electric device, for example, the backlight BL (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 6) of a liquid crystal display device described later, can be changed simply by increasing or decreasing the number of the circuit boards CB and the number of the connection parts CN. In other words, in order to change the size of the electric device, it is not necessary to change either the pair of board electric paths EP or the other pair of connection electric paths LPa. Therefore, the size of the electric device can be easily changed.

[0027] Furthermore, the connection portion CN includes another pair of connection electric paths LPa. The other pair of connection electric paths LPa can electrically connect another pair of second pins P2a of one circuit board CB and a pair of first pins P1 of the other circuit board CB. More specifically, the other pair of connection electric paths LPa can electrically connect another pair of second pins P2a of the first circuit board CB(1) and a pair of first pins P1 of the second circuit board CB(2), as described later with reference to FIG. 6. Therefore, the three circuit boards CB can be electrically connected by the two connection portions CN.

[0028] In addition, the connection portion CN can be connected to each of the two circuit boards CB so as to cross the longitudinal direction of the board B, specifically, the opposing long sides of the rectangular board B (see FIGS. 3 and 6). Therefore, the multiple boards B are arranged to line up along the short side direction of each of the multiple boards B. As a result, it is possible to increase the variation in adjustment of the overall size of an electric device, for example, a backlight BL (see FIGS. 3 and 6), compared to the case where the multiple boards B are arranged to line up along the long side direction of the rectangle.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 have the same shape. Therefore, the connection portion CN can be connected to each of the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 without considering the orientation of the substrate B.

[0030] FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the surface of a backlight BL of a liquid crystal display device, which is an example of the electrical device according to the first embodiment.

[0031] The backlight BL of this embodiment includes two circuit boards CB consisting of a first circuit board CB(1) and a second circuit board CB(2), a connection unit CN, and a control unit CT. The configurations of the first circuit board CB(1) and the second circuit board CB(2) are the same as the configuration of the circuit board CB described with reference to FIG. 1. One connector CX and the other connector CY of the connection unit CN are connected to the first circuit board CB(1) and the second circuit board CB(2), respectively. The connection unit CN(1) includes a pair of connection electric circuits LP that electrically connect a pair of second pins P2 of the first circuit board CB(1) and a pair of circuit pins CP of the second circuit board CB(2). The configuration of the connection unit CN is the same as the configuration described with reference to FIG. 2.

[0032] The control unit CT is connected to each of the pair of circuit pins CP and the pair of first pins P1 of the first circuit board CB(1) so as to be able to transmit an electric signal via an electric path. The control unit CT transmits a first signal for controlling the electric circuit EC of the first circuit board CB(1) via the pair of circuit pins CP of the first circuit board CB(1). The control unit CT transmits a second signal for controlling the electric circuit EC of the second circuit board CB(2) via the pair of first pins P1, the pair of board electric paths EP, and the pair of second pins P2 of the first circuit board CB(1), and the pair of circuit pins CP of the second circuit board CB(2). Therefore, the control unit CT can independently control each of the electric circuit EC of the first circuit board CB(1) and the electric circuit CB of the second circuit board CB(2). As a result, local dimming of the backlight BL can be performed.

[0033] In the backlight BL of the present embodiment, the pair of board electric paths EP, the other pair of board electric paths EPa, the pair of connecting electric paths LP, and the other pair of connecting electric paths LPa are provided to cross the long side of the board. Therefore, the overall electric path length can be shortened compared to the case where the pair of board electric paths EP, the other pair of board electric paths EPa, the pair of connecting electric paths LP, and the other pair of connecting electric paths LPa are provided along the long side direction of the board B.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first connectors C1 of the multiple circuit boards CB have the same structure. The second connectors C2 of the multiple circuit boards CB have the same structure. At least one connection portion CN has the same structure. Therefore, the multiple circuit boards CB can be electrically connected by one or more connection portions CN without considering the positional relationship of the multiple circuit boards CB. Therefore, the backlight BL, which is an example of an electric device, can be easily assembled.

[0035] Furthermore, each of the substrates B of the multiple circuit substrates CB, the electric circuit EC including the multiple light emitting elements L, and the pair of substrate electrical paths EP have the same shape. Therefore, even if the multiple circuit substrates CB are connected to at least one connection part CN without considering the relative positions of the multiple circuit substrates CB, a backlight BL that emits light in the same manner can be manufactured. Therefore, the backlight BL can be manufactured easily.

[0036] (Embodiment 2) The circuit board, the assembly part set for the electric device, and the electric device according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description of the same points as those in the first embodiment will not be repeated. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the following points.

[0037] FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of the front surface of a circuit board CB according to the second embodiment.

[0038] As can be seen from Fig. 4, the circuit board CB of this embodiment has different shapes and arrangements of each component compared to the circuit board CB of embodiment 1, but the functions of each component are the same. The multiple light-emitting elements L and circuit wiring CW constituting the electric circuit EC shown in Fig. 4 are arranged symmetrically with respect to an imaginary line (not shown) connecting the midpoints of the opposing long sides of the rectangle of the substrate B. However, in Fig. 4, for ease of viewing the drawing, the light-emitting elements on the right side of the imaginary line among the multiple light-emitting elements L are not given reference symbols.

[0039] FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of the connection portion CN according to the second embodiment.

[0040] As can be seen from Fig. 5, the shape and arrangement of each component of the connection part CN of this embodiment are almost the same as those of the connection part CN of embodiment 1, and the functions of each component are the same. Also, as in Fig. 2, from the viewpoint of ease of viewing the drawing, only the wiring of the FFC is drawn in Fig. 5.

[0041] FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view of a backlight BL of the liquid crystal display device according to the second embodiment.

[0042] The configurations of the first circuit board CN(1), the first connection part CN(1), and the second circuit board CB(2) of the backlight L of this embodiment are basically the same as the configurations of the first circuit board CN(1), the connection part CN, and the second circuit board CB(2) of the backlight BL of embodiment 1. The backlight BL of this embodiment further includes a second connection part CN(2) and a third circuit board CB(3) in addition to the configuration of the backlight BL of embodiment 2. That is, the three circuit boards CB consisting of the first circuit board CB(1), the second circuit board CB(2), and the third circuit board CB(3) are connected by two connection parts CN consisting of the first connection part CN(1) and the second connection part CN(2).

[0043] More specifically, a pair of circuit pins CP of the first circuit board CB(1) and an electric circuit EC are electrically connected. Also, a pair of first pins P1, a pair of board electric paths EP, and a pair of second pins P2 of the first circuit board CB(1) and a pair of connecting electric paths LP of the first connection part CN(1) are electrically connected in this order. Also, a pair of connecting electric paths LP of the first connection part CN(1) and a pair of circuit pins CP and an electric circuit EC of the second circuit board CB(2) are electrically connected in this order.

[0044] Further, another pair of first pins P1a, another pair of board electric paths EPa, and another pair of second pins P2a of the first circuit board CB(1), and another pair of connecting electric paths LPa of the first connection part CN(1) are electrically connected in this order. Furthermore, another pair of connecting electric paths LPa of the first connection part CN(1), and a pair of first pins P1, a pair of board electric paths EP, and a pair of second pins P2 of the second circuit board CB(2) are electrically connected in this order. In addition, a pair of second pins P2 of the second circuit board CB(2), a pair of connecting electric paths LP of the second connection part CN(1), and a circuit pin CP and an electric circuit EC of the third circuit board CB(3) are electrically connected in this order.

[0045] The control unit CT transmits a third signal to the electric circuit EC of the third circuit board CN(3). Specifically, the third signal is first transmitted from the other pair of first pins P1a, the other pair of board electric circuits EPa, and the other pair of second pins P2a of the first circuit board CB(1) to the other pair of connection electric circuits LPa of the first connection part CN(1). Next, the third signal is transmitted from the other pair of connection electric circuits LPa of the first connection part CN(1) to the pair of connection electric circuits LP of the second connection part CN via the pair of first pins P1, the pair of board electric circuits EP, and the pair of second pins P2 of the second circuit board CN(2). Furthermore, the third signal is transmitted from the pair of connection electric circuits LP of the second connection part CN to the electric circuit EC of the third circuit board CN(3) via the circuit pins CP of the third circuit board CN(3). Therefore, the control unit CT can transmit signals independently to the electric circuits EC of the first circuit board CB(1), the second circuit board CB(2), and the third circuit board CB(3).

[0046] The circuit board CB, electric device assembly part set, and electric device of the present embodiment can provide effects similar to those provided by the circuit board CB, electric device assembly part set, and electric device of embodiment 1.

[0047] (Embodiment 3) The circuit board, the assembly part set for the electric device, and the electric device according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description of the same points as those in the second embodiment will not be repeated. The present embodiment differs from the second embodiment in the following points.

[0048] Fig. 7 is a schematic plan view of the front side of a backlight BL of a liquid crystal display device as an example of an electric device according to embodiment 3. Fig. 8 is a schematic plan view of the rear side of the backlight BL of a liquid crystal display device as an example of an electric device according to embodiment 3.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 7, the backlight BL of the example of the electric device of the present embodiment has the same structure as the backlight BL of the example of the electric device of the embodiment 2 with respect to the front surface. Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the backlight BL of the present embodiment has, in addition to the configuration of the backlight BL of the embodiment 2 with respect to the rear surface, a third connector C1, a fourth connector C4, and another pair of board electric circuits EPR on the rear side of the board B. The third connector C3 includes a pair of third pins P3 separated from the electric circuit EC on the front surface. That is, the pair of third pins P3 is not connected to the electric circuit EC. Also, the fourth connector C4 includes a pair of fourth pins P4. The fourth connector C4 includes a pair of fourth pins P4 separated from the electric circuit EC on the front surface. The pair of fourth pins P4 is not connected to the electric circuit EC. Another pair of board electric circuits EPR is connected to the pair of third pins P3 and the pair of fourth pins P4. As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, the backlight BL of this embodiment includes a fourth circuit board CN(4) and a third connection portion CN(3) in addition to the configuration of the backlight BL of the second embodiment.

[0050] As can be seen from Figures 7 and 8, all the circuit boards CB have the same structure. All the connection parts CN have the same structure. The connector CY and the connector CX of the third connection part CN(3) are connected to the fourth connector C4 on the back surface of the first circuit board CB(1) and the first connector C1 on the front surface of the fourth circuit board CB(4), respectively. The pair of connection electric paths LP of the third connection part CN(3) electrically connects the pair of fourth pins P4 of the first circuit board CB(1) and the pair of circuit pins CP of the fourth circuit board CB(4) in a direction different from the direction in which one connection part CN extends on the front surface side of the first circuit board CB.

[0051] The control unit CT transmits a fourth signal to the electrical circuit EC of the fourth circuit board CB(4) via a pair of third pins P3 of the third connector C3 of the first circuit board CB(1), another pair of board electrical paths EPR, a pair of fourth pins P4 of the fourth connector C4, and circuit pins CP of the fourth circuit board CB(4).

[0052] According to the above-described backlight BL, the fourth circuit board CB(4) is connected to the first circuit board (1) in a direction different from that of the second circuit board CB(2) connected to the first connector C1 and the second connector C2 by using the third connector C3 and the fourth connector C4. This makes it possible to increase the variation in the shape of the backlight BL.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the third connector C3 and the fourth connector C4 are provided on the back surface of the board B, but they may be provided on the front surface of the board B, similar to the first connector C1 and the second connector C2. [Explanation of symbols]
