The conductor part includes a connection conductor fitted in at least part of the cavity. The cavity includes a first recess provided in an inner wall surface of the cavity. The connection conductor is partially fitted in the first recess. The first recess includes a second recess provided in an inner wall surface of the first recess. The connection conductor is partially fitted in the second recess.

An electronic device includes an electronic chip assembled on a first region of a substrate of the electronic device, a first coating layer of a first coating material covering a surface of the electronic chip facing away from the substrate, and a radiation element of an antenna of the electronic device separated from the substrate by at least a portion of the first coating layer and being offset with respect to the first region of the substrate so that the radiation element does not cover the electronic chip. The radiation element is buried in the first coating layer or is arranged in the first coating layer and partly covered with a protection material.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for clamping a heat generating device such as a thyristor in place. The use of spring washers in various configurations is described. A spring washing washer may be used to apply force to a pad which in turn applies the force to a plate above a heat generating device. The plate above the heat generating device may apply downward pressure, which may force the heat generating device against a lower surface. Related systems, apparatuses, and methods are also described.

A circuit board includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface located on an opposite side from the first surface, a through hole penetrating the first surface and the second surface, an organic insulating film disposed on the first surface and a side surface of the through hole, and a conductor disposed on an opposite side of the organic insulating film from a side surface side of the through hole. The side surface of the through hole has a first side surface coupled to the first surface and having a width decreased from the first surface toward the second surface, and a second side surface coupled to the second surface from an end portion of the first side surface on a second surface side.

A method for applying an electrical conductor to an electrically insulating substrate, the method comprising providing a flexible membrane with a pattern of grooves formed on a first surface thereof, and loading the grooves with a composition comprising particles of a conductive material. The composition is, or may be made, electrically conductive. Once the membrane is loaded, the grooved first surface of the membrane is brought into contact with a front or/and back surface of the substrate. A pressure is then applied between the substrate and the membrane(s) so that the composition loaded into the grooves adheres to the substrate. The membrane(s) may remain on the electrically insulating substrate. The electrically conductive particles in the composition can then be sintered to form a pattern of electrical conductors on the substrate, the pattern corresponding to the pattern formed in the membrane(s).

A method of depositing a donor material onto a target surface is provided herein, in which a first main side of a substrate is covered with a stretchable layer that is attaching thereto with a sealing around an enclosed area at the first main side, therewith defining an enclosure. The stretchable layer has an outer surface that faces away from the substrate, and that is patterned with one or more recessed areas filled with the donor material to be deposited. A relatively high pressure is provided in an interior of the enclosure so that its volume is increased and the patterned surface of the stretchable layer is pressed against the target surface. In that state of the stretchable layer the substrate is irradiated at a second main side opposite its first main side with photon radiation that has an intensity and a duration that causes a transfer of donor material from the one or more recessed areas to the target surface. Also a plate and a deposition device are provided.

Pattern transfer printing (PTP) systems and methods are provided to improve the quality, accuracy and throughput of pattern transfer printing. PTP systems comprise a tape handling unit for handling a tape with pattern transfer sheets sections and for controllably delivering the pattern transfer sheets one-by-one for paste filling and consecutively for pattern transfer, with the tape moving from an unwinder roll to a re-winding roll. PTP systems further comprise a paste filling unit which enables continuous paste filling using a supporting counter roll opposite to the paste filling head, a wafer handling unit controllably delivering wafers for the pattern transfer in a parallelized manner that increases throughput, a paste transfer unit with enhanced accuracy and efficiency due to exact monitoring and wafer alignment, as well as a print quality control unit.

A display may have one or more bent portions. To increase the magnitude of curvature in a display and/or to allow for compound curvature in the display, a display panel may be partially formed in a planar state. The partial display panel is then bent to have desired curvature. After the partial display panel is bent, additional display components that are susceptible to damage during the bending process may be added to complete the display panel. A flexible printed circuit may be formed directly on the display panel using precise deposition of conductive material. By forming the flexible printed circuit layer-by-layer directly on the display panel, no substantive pressure needs to be applied to the display panel. Electrical connections may therefore be made to the display panel in regions of the display with high levels of curvature and/or with compound curvature without causing front-of-screen artifacts for the display panel.

Disclosed is an ultra-thin composite transparent conductive film, comprising: a transparent substrate; a first UV glue layer disposed on one side of the transparent substrate, pattern-imprinted and cured to form a first grid-shaped groove and a first lead groove, the first grid-shaped groove and the first lead groove being filled with conductive materials to form a first conductive layer and a first lead region respectively, depth of the first grid-shaped groove and the first lead groove being smaller than a thickness of the first UV glue layer; a second UV glue layer disposed on one side of the first UV glue layer away from the transparent substrate and used as a reinforced insulating support layer; and a third UV glue layer disposed on one side of the second UV glue layer away from the transparent substrate, pattern-imprinted and cured to form a second grid-shaped groove and a second lead groove, the second grid-shaped groove and the second lead groove being filled with conductive materials to form a second conductive layer and a second lead region respectively, and depth of the second grid-shaped groove and the second lead groove being not greater than a thickness of the third UV glue layer. The ultra-thin composite transparent conductive film has a simple structure and a simplified and stable preparation process, a reduced preparation cost, and can be used widely.
