Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic component mounting boards face challenges with electromagnetic noise interference and heat dissipation due to gaps in shield cases and increased device size, which affect the reliability and performance of electronic devices.

Innovation Solution

The electronic component mounting board incorporates a substrate with a mount area, a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a first metal layer with a slope and additional portions to effectively shield against electromagnetic noise and enhance heat dissipation, while reducing voids and unintended short-circuiting through the use of insulating films and multiple metal layers.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from three-dimensional shield cases to two-dimensional insulating layers with metal patterns deposited on substrate surfaces. This dimensional reduction eliminates the need for bulky enclosures while maintaining electromagnetic shielding functionality through conductive patterns that block noise without requiring physical depth

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential shielding function from traditional enclosed shield cases and implements it through separate functional layers (insulating layers with metal patterns). This allows the shielding capability to be integrated into the circuit board structure itself rather than requiring additional external housing components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If multiple insulating layers and metal layers are added to reduce noise and improve heat dissipation, then reliability is enhanced, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional requirements (electrical insulation, electromagnetic shielding, and heat dissipation) into an integrated multi-layer structure where insulating layers and metal patterns work together as a unified system. This consolidation achieves multiple benefits simultaneously while using standardized PCB manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The insulating layers with metal patterns serve multiple functions simultaneously: providing electrical insulation between conductive elements, blocking electromagnetic noise through conductive patterns, and facilitating heat dissipation through thermally conductive metal traces. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
