An objective of the present invention is to prevent a copper foil used as a recognition mark from being stripped from a base film in a flexible printed board while preventing the recognition accuracy for the recognition mark from being reduced. A flexible printed board includes a base film; a copper foil pattern on the base film, wherein the copper foil pattern has a hollow shape with an outer circumferential section and an inner circumferential section and is configured to function as a recognition mark; a coverlay having an opening formed therein, wherein the coverlay is bonded to the base film and covers the outer circumferential section of the copper foil pattern such that an edge of the opening is positioned between the outer circumferential section and the inner circumferential section of the copper foil pattern.

The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus and method, and a system and a method for mounting components including the same. In the system for mounting components according to the present invention, solder paste inspection equipment receives mounting tolerance information from component mounting equipment, generates warp information of a flexible array board by measuring the flexible array board, generates mount-impossible information on a region where mounting of components is impossible by comparing the mounting tolerance information and the warp information, and transmits the mount-impossible information to the component mounting equipment. The component mounting equipment mounts components on remaining regions except for the region where mounting of components is impossible based on the mount-impossible information.

An interconnection substrate having a barcode includes a core layer, an interconnection layer over a first surface of the core layer, an insulating layer to cover the interconnection layer, and one or more additional interconnection layers over the insulating layer, wherein the barcode includes cells arranged at spaced intervals, and a cell pattern is made by forming penetrating holes through the core layer in some of the cells but not in remaining ones of the cells, wherein the penetrating holes are filled with resin, and an end face of the resin is exposed on the same side as the first surface such that the interconnection layer is situated in a surrounding area of the end face but not over the end face, and wherein a number of interconnection layers over the end face is smaller than a number of interconnection layers in the surrounding area of the end face.

A module placement device and method enable the precision mating of a module to a substrate. The device and method can be effectively used, for example, to mate a light source such as an LED module to the back side of an automotive mirror having portions that permit light to pass therethrough.

In a board work machine that performs board work with reference to a reference mark provided on a board, in a case of performing board work with respect to a board provided with overall reference mark and local area reference mark that acts as a reference for a local area as reference marks, when recognizing the reference marks by imaging, checking is performed as to whether a recognized reference mark is recognized correctly. For this checking, when checking whether the position deviation amount from a normal position and the relative position deviation amount of an imaging target identified as a reference mark is within the range of a set tolerance, set tolerances for a local area reference mark are smaller than set tolerances for an overall reference mark.

A substrate includes a ceramic layer, a metal layer fixed in a planar manner on a surface side of the ceramic layer and a cutout arranged in an edge region of the metal layer. The cutout in the edge region codes information. A multiple substrate having a plurality of these substrates is also provided, as is a method for producing the substrate.

In multilayer circuit substrate wiring patterns and reference marks are formed on an upper surface of each insulating layer in a predetermined positional relationship, and the reference marks on the insulating layers are formed at overlapping positions when viewed from above. Furthermore, the reference mark on each layer is formed by changing a size or a shape such that from a specific edge portion recognized when center coordinates of the reference mark is detected by image processing a specific edge portion of the reference mark on a lower layer of the specific edge portion does not protrude considering a positional deviation at the time of manufacturing. The multiple insulating layers are formed of an insulating material having light transparency or an insulating material designed to be extremely thin so that a lower layer can be seen through even if the light transparency is poor.

A display device includes a display panel including first and second signal pads respectively disposed at one side and the other side of a center axis extending in a first direction and first and second fixing pads spaced apart from each other with the first and second signal pads interposed therebetween, and a flexible film including connection pads overlapping the signal pads and first and second alignment pads groups spaced apart from each other with the connection pads interposed therebetween. The first alignment pad group includes n first alignment pads arranged in the first direction, the second alignment pad group includes n second alignment pads corresponding to the first alignment pads, and a distance between corresponding first and second alignment pads decreases as a distance thereof from a display area decreases.

A flexible circuit board includes a flexible light-permeable carrier, a circuit layer, a mark and a stiffener. The circuit layer and the mark are located on a top surface of the flexible light-permeable carrier. A predetermined area and a stiffener mounting area corresponding to each other are defined on the top surface and a bottom surface of the flexible light-permeable carrier, respectively. The mark is opaque to create a shadow mark having a longitudinal reference side and a lateral reference side on the bottom surface. The stiffener is adhered to the stiffener mounting area defined on the bottom surface by aligning with the longitudinal reference side and the lateral reference side of the shadow mark.
