Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a wiring bridge as an intermediary element that mediates the connection between the first wirings and the second wirings. This wiring bridge is specifically designed to align with the double-row binding terminals, ensuring that the pressure during binding is evenly distributed and preventing misalignment issues while maintaining the high pin-count capability of the double-row design

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary alignment design in the layout of the wiring bridge and binding terminals. The wiring bridge is pre-positioned and dimensioned to precisely match the double-row binding terminal arrangement, ensuring that during the binding process, the pressure is automatically and evenly distributed across all binding terminals without requiring additional alignment adjustments, thus preventing inclination of side pressure and ensuring reliable bonding

AI summary

The present application provides a flexible circuit board, a display module, and an electronic device. The flexible circuit board includes first binding terminals disposed on a first surface of a substrate layer and pressure transmission parts disposed on a second surface of the substrate layer, where each of the pressure transmission parts includes at least a portion corresponding to at least a portion of respective one of the first binding terminals so that the pressure transmission part can transmit a pressure to the first binding terminal through the substrate layer, thereby alleviating a problem that the inclination of the side pressure is generated when the flexible circuit board and the printed circuit board assembly are bound.
