A circuit board is provided and the circuit board is used for being attached to a matching board. The circuit board includes a first circuit pattern and an attaching state inspection area, and the attaching state inspection area further includes a third circuit pattern. A liquid crystal display device is further provided, including the circuit board and the matching board, the matching board includes a second circuit pattern matching the circuit board. It is more accurate to judge the attaching state between the circuit board and the matching board by detecting the deformation state of the conductive particles in vacant areas at different locations after the circuit board is attached to the matching board.

A semiconductor device includes a circuit board including an insulating layer having opposite front and rear surfaces, an electrode pad disposed on the front surface, a housing having an installation area for the circuit board, and a bonding material embedded in a recess within either a first area located at the rear surface of the insulating layer directly below an area of the circuit board in which the electrode pad is disposed, or at a second area located within the installation area of the housing and corresponding to the first area in a plan view.

A modular deformable electronics platform is attachable to a deformable surface, such as skin. The platform is tolerant to surface deformation and motion, can flex in and out of a plane of the platform without hindering operability of electrical components included on the platform, and is formed via arrangement of discrete flexible tiles, with corners of adjacent tiles connected by a flexible connection material so that individual tiles can translate and rotate relative to each other. Interconnects disposed on bases of separate tiles electrically connect adjacent tiles via their connected corners, and electrically connect components disposed on different tiles. Each pair of adjacent corner connections defines an axis about which at least a portion of the platform can flex without deformation and without hindering connections between tiles. The flexible material and/or bases of the tiles can include Parylene.

In a conventional electronic device and a method of manufacturing the same, reduction in cost of the electronic device is hindered because resin used in an interconnect layer on the solder ball side is limited. The electronic device includes an interconnect layer (a first interconnect layer) and an interconnect layer (a second interconnect layer). The second interconnect layer is formed on the undersurface of the first interconnect layer. The second interconnect layer is larger in area seen from the top than the first interconnect layer and is extended to the outside from the first interconnect layer.

Lighting modules and methods of manufacturing the same. The lighting module described herein may include a flexible printed circuit board substrate, light emitting diodes mounted on one side of the printed circuit board substrate, and thermally-conductive substrate plates opposite of the light emitting diodes to provide structural support and thermal management.

Methods, systems, devices, and products for constructing a downhole tool electronics module. Methods may include creating a circuit board by metallizing at least part of a first surface on a first side of a substrate to define at least one metallized area on the first surface, wherein the substrate comprises a ceramic material and includes: the first side, including at least (i) the first surface, and (ii) an elevated surface elevated from the first surface, and a second side opposite the first side; flattening at least partially the elevated surface to a predefined first flatness to create a mounting portion by removing material from the elevated surface; attaching an electronics component to the first surface; and mounting the circuit board on an electronics carrier by adhering at least part of the mounting portion to a mounting surface on the electronics carrier. Flattening at least partially the elevated surface to the predefined first flatness may be carried out by removing the material by areal grinding.

Disclosed is a flexible ultrasonic transducer in which a single layer serves dual function as both a matching layer and a flexible circuit for making electrical connections, and there is no separate matching layer. Also disclosed is a method of assembling the flexible transducer.

A conductive interconnect structure comprises a polymeric substrate (e.g., a thermoplastic) and a plurality of compliant conductive microstructures (e.g., conductive carbon nanofibers) embedded in the polymeric substrate. The microstructures can be arranged linearly or in a grid pattern. In response to heating, the polymeric substrate transitions from an unshrunk state to a shrunken state to move the microstructures closer together, thereby increasing an interconnect density of the compliant conductive microstructures. Thus, the gap or pitch between adjacent microstructures is reduced in response to heat-induced shrinkage of the polymeric substrate to generate finely-pitched microstructures that are densely pitched, thereby increasing the current-carrying capacity of the microstructures. The polymeric material can be heated to conform or form-fit to planar and non-planar surfaces/geometries, and can be selectively heated at various portions to tailor or customize the interconnect density of the microstructures at selected portions. Associated electrical conducting assemblies and methods are provided.

The present disclosure concerns a flexible electronic circuit (100) and method of manufacturing. A flexible substrate (30) with conductive tracks is provided with a rigid electronic component (10). The component (10) comprises electrical contacts (11, 12) on either sides. The conductive tracks connect to the contacts via an arced section that originates from respective sides of the contacts but swirls partially around the component to approaches the component along a centerline (CL) separating the contacts (11, 12).
