Description
FIELD

The subject matter herein generally relates to circuit boards, and more particularly, to a circuit board, a method for manufacturing the same and a terminal device having the circuit board.


BACKGROUND

Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. If no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.


Referring to FIG. 1, a terminal device 200 is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The terminal device 200 maybe a dynamically bendable electronic product, such as roll screen phones, folding screen phones, telescopic screen phones, laptops, wearable devices, etc. In the embodiment, the terminal device 200 is a folding screen phone. The terminal device 200 includes a circuit board 100, which can bend and extend or retractable during the bending process, effectively improving an assembly freedom and reliability of the circuit board 100.


Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the circuit board 100 includes two first circuit substrates 10, two second circuit substrates 20, a magnetic assembly 30, at least one first component 40, and at least one second component 50. The two first circuit substrates 10, the two second circuit substrates 20, the first component 40, and the second component 50 are electrically connected to each other. The two second circuit substrates 20 are disposed between the two first circuit substrates 10 and are spaced apart from each other. The magnetic assembly 30 is disposed between the two first circuit substrates 10 and between the two second circuit substrates 20. The magnetic assembly 30 is spaced apart from the two second circuit substrates 20.


Each first circuit substrate 10 includes a first dielectric layer 11 and a first circuit layer 13 disposed on the first dielectric layer 11. Each of the first dielectric layer 11 and the first circuit layer 13 can have one or more layers. The first circuit substrate 10 is a flexible substrate, that is, the first circuit substrate 10 can be bent. The first dielectric layer 11 can be made of polyimide (short to PI), liquid crystal polymer (short to LCP), or modified polyimide (short to MPI).


A direction in which the first circuit layer 13 and the first dielectric layer 11 are stacked is defined as a first direction L1. At least one first coil 132 is formed by a portion of the first circuit layer 13 in a middle area of the first circuit substrate 10. The first coil 132 can surround the first direction L1 as an axis (referring to FIG. 4). Two grooves 112 are formed on a surface of the first dielectric layer 11 facing away from the first circuit layer 13 and connecting to the second circuit substrates 20. The two grooves 112 are spaced apart from each other. The grooves 112 are defined on a surface of the first circuit substrate 10.


Each first circuit substrate 10 is divided into two fixing areas I and a bending area II. The bending area II is disposed between the two fixing areas I. The first coil 132 is disposed in one of the two fixing areas I. Each fixing area I is provided with one of the two grooves 112. The first coil 132 can be disposed corresponding to the groove 112 in the same fixing area I.


Each second circuit substrate 20 includes a second dielectric layer 21 and a second circuit layer 23 disposed on a surface of the second dielectric layer 21. The second circuit substrate 20 can be a flexible substrate or a rigid substrate. The second circuit layer 23 and the second dielectric layer 21 can have one or more layers. In the embodiment, the second circuit layer 23 and the second dielectric layer 21 may have multiple layers. The multi-layered second circuit layer 23 forms at least one second coil 232 at an end of the second circuit substrate 20. The second coil 232 can surround a second direction L2 perpendicular to the first direction L1 as an axis (referring to FIG. 5). The second coil 232 can be formed by circuit layers of different layers and vias (not shown) between the circuit layers.


The first circuit substrate 10 and the second circuit substrate 20 are electrically connected to each other and surrounded to form a receiving cavity (not labeled). Two opposite surfaces of each second circuit substrate 20 are connected to the first circuit substrate 10 through a second adhesive layer 176. Each second circuit substrate 20 is connected to the fixing area 1, and the groove 112 is exposed from the second circuit substrate 20. A side of the second circuit substrate 20 provided with the second coil 232 faces the receiving cavity, and the magnetic assembly 30 is received in the receiving cavity. When the first circuit substrate 10 is not bent, both ends of the magnetic assembly 30 are spaced apart from the second circuit substrates 20.


The magnetic assembly 30 includes a supporting member 31, at least one elastic member 33, and at least one magnetic member 35. The elastic member 33 is disposed at an end of the supporting member 31. The magnetic member 35 is disposed on the elastic member 33 and protrudes relative to the supporting member 31. The magnetic assembly 30 can be movable relative to the first circuit substrate 10 and the second circuit substrate 20.


In the embodiment, magnetic members 35 are disposed on both sides of each elastic member 33. Each magnetic member 35 can be clamped in the corresponding groove 112. The supporting member 31 can be made of rigid materials such as polyimide, epoxy resin, metal, etc. The elastic member 33 can be a spring, or a rubber, etc. The magnetic member 35 can generate a magnetic field, and the magnetic member 35 can be a magnet or a substance containing magnetic particles such as iron, nickel, ferrite composite, etc.


The first component 40 electrically connects to both the first circuit substrate 10 and the second circuit substrate 20, meaning that the first component 40 connects to either the first circuit substrate 10 or the second circuit substrate 20. In the embodiment, the first component 40 is disposed on a surface of the first circuit substrate 10. The first component 40 can generate a magnetic field repels the magnetic member 35. The magnetic member 35 can presses against and compress the elastic member 33. After the elastic member 33 is compressed, the magnetic member 35 can be released from the groove 112, allowing the magnetic member 35 to release a restriction on the groove 112.


The second component 50 electrically connects to both the first circuit substrate 10 and the second circuit substrate 20, meaning that the second component 50 connects to either the first circuit substrate 10 or the second circuit substrate 20. In the embodiment, the second component 50 is disposed on a surface of the second circuit substrate 20. The second component 50 can generate a magnetic field attracts or repels the magnetic member 35, allowing the magnetic member 35 to attract or repel the second circuit substrate 20.


In other embodiments, winding directions of the first coil 132 and the second coil 232 are not limited.


Referring to FIG. 2, when the circuit board 100 is in an elongated state, that is, the first circuit substrate 10 is in an elongated state, both ends of the magnetic member 35 are respectively clamped in corresponding grooves 112, and both ends of the magnetic assembly 30 are spaced apart from the ends of the second circuit substrate 20.


Referring to FIG. 3, when the circuit board 100 needs to be in a contracted state, the first component 40 controls the first coil 132 to be energized and generating the magnetic field that repels the magnetic member 35. The magnetic member 35 presses against and compress the elastic member 33. When the elastic member 33 is compressed, the magnetic member 35 can be released from the groove 112, allowing the magnetic member 35 to release the restriction on the groove 112. At the same time, the second component 50 controls the second coil 232 to be energized, generating the magnetic field that attracts the magnetic member 35. The magnetic member 35 attracts the second coil 232 and pull the second circuit substrate 20 towards the magnetic member 35, causing the first circuit substrate 10 disposed in the bending zone II to bend. The diagram shown in the FIG. 3 depicts only one possible bending configuration of the first circuit substrate 10 after bending. The first circuit substrate 10 disposed in the bending zone II can also move towards the supporting member 31.


When the circuit board 100 transitions from the contracted state to the elongated state, the second component 50 controls the second coil 232 to be energized, generating the magnetic field that repels the magnetic member 35. The magnetic member 35 pushes away the second coil 232, causing the second circuit substrate 20 to move away from the magnetic member 35 until the magnetic member 35 aligns with the groove 112. After the elastic member 33 rebounds, the magnetic member 35 is clamped in the groove 112, causing a region of the first circuit substrate 10 corresponding to the supporting member 31 being in an elongated state. At the same time, the first coil 132 may be deactivated.


The circuit board 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure allows an outer layer of the first circuit substrate 10 to bend during the bending process, eliminating the possibility of damage to the first circuit substrate 10 due to stretching. When the circuit board 100 is assembled into the terminal device 200, there is no need to reserve space for extending of the circuit board 100, thereby enhancing a freedom of assembly for the circuit board 100.


Each groove 112 can be disposed corresponding to the first coil 132 disposed in the same fixing area I. A projection of each groove 112 on the first dielectric layer 11 is disposed within a projection of the corresponding fixing area I on the first dielectric layer 11, so that the magnetic field generated by the first coil 132 can act on the magnetic piece 35 clamped in the groove 112 at a short distance, which can reduce the current used by the first coil 132 to generate the magnetic field to repel the magnetic piece 35.


The circuit board 100 further includes a plurality of fixing members 15. Each fixing member 15 is fixed to the first circuit substrate 10 facing the supporting member 31. Each first circuit substrate 10 is fixed with at least two fixing members 15. Each fixing member 1 connects the first circuit substrate 10 through a first adhesive layer 174. Each fixing member 15 is disposed in the fixing area I, and the first circuit substrate 10 exposed between two adjacent fixing members 15 is the bending area II. The fixing members 15 can slide relative to the supporting member 31. The fixing members 15 are fixed to the area between the first circuit substrate 10 where two grooves 112 are arranged. In the embodiment, the fixing members 15 are adjacent to the grooves 112. The area between the first circuit substrate 10 to fix the two fixing members 15 can be bent or extended.
