Abstract:
A rigid-flex PCB includes at least one rigid PCB (RPCB) and at least one flexible PCB (FPCB). Each RPCB has a connection section; first and second sections separately extended from two lateral edges of the connection section and having at least one FPCB bonding side each; and a weakening structure formed along each joint of the connection section and the first and second sections. Each FPCB has a bending section corresponding to the connection section on the RPCB; first and second sections separately extended from two lateral edges of the bending section and having at least one RPCB bonding side each corresponding to the FPCB bonding sides of the first and second sections of the RPCB. When a proper pressure is applied against the weakening structures, the RPCB may be easily bent broken at the weakening structures to remove the connection section therefrom.
Abstract:
A flexible circuit board with specific shielding planes is used for low voltage differential transmission mode circuits. Both the impedance and the transmission time for the transmission line in the circuit board is controlled by shielding planes with varied void opening patterns. Capacitance and slow wave effects related to the combination of void opening patterns and the location configuration related to locations of void opening patterns are used to improve the impedance and transmission timing for the transmission line in the circuit board.
Abstract:
A partially cut multi-planar flexible printed circuit comprises a substrate, a set of signal conducting elements for differential mode and common mode, a power supply and/or ground. The multi-planar flexible printed circuit is formed by partially grouped cutting a flexible printed circuit at a proper position so that the cross-sectional area of the multi-planar flexible printed circuit at the cut portion can fit in with a small round or square splice hole in addition to a flat rectangular slit for connecting, for example, a liquid crystal display with a notebook computer. Moreover, intervals between edges of a substrate and a plurality of transmission lines are preferably greater than three times of thickness of the substrate.

Abstract:
A planar type flexible cable includes a longitudinally extended insulated section, and at least one pair of differential-mode signal transmission lines horizontally closely spaced inside the insulated section in a transverse direction, and extended in an extending direction of the insulated section from a first to a second end of the insulated section. A flat layer of shielding structure is provided on at least one surface of the insulated section to provide an impedance value needed by the differential-mode signal transmission lines. The flat layer of shielding structure includes a net-type shielding structure with a plurality of openings. A plurality of the insulated sections is vertically stacked with each insulated section having at least one pair of the differential-mode signal transmission lines provided therein and a flat layer of shielding structure provided on one surface thereof.
