2. Description of Related Art
Various applications of capacitors include home appliances, computer motherboards and peripherals, power supplies, communication products and automobiles. The capacitors such as winding-type capacitors are mainly used to provide filtering, bypassing, rectifying, coupling, blocking or transforming function. Because the thin film capacitor has the advantages of small size, large electrical capacity and good frequency characteristic, it can be used as a decoupling element in the power circuit of a central processing unit (CPU). The winding-type capacitor includes a capacitor core, a casing, and a sealing cover. The capacitor core has an anode foil coupled to an anode terminal, a cathode foil coupled to a cathode terminal, a separator, and an electrolyte layer. The anode foil, the cathode foil and the separator are rolled together. The separator is disposed between the anode foil and the cathode foil. The electrolyte layer is formed between the anode foil and the cathode foil. The casing has an opening for receiving the capacitor core. The sealing cover can be used to seal the casing, and the anode terminal and the cathode terminal can pass through a through hole of the sealing cover. A given space is provided between the sealing cover and the capacitor core. A stopper for securing the space is provided on at least one of the anode terminal and the cathode terminal. However, the color of a coating layer that is coated on the casing of the winding-type capacitor is not changeable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of a color-changeable capacitor package structure and a color-changeable capacitor casing structure thereof, and a circuit board assembly according to the instant disclosure are described herein. Other advantages and objectives of the instant disclosure can be easily understood by one skilled in the art from the disclosure. The instant disclosure can be applied in different embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to various details in the description for different applications without departing from the scope of the instant disclosure. The drawings of the instant disclosure are provided only for simple illustrations, but are not drawn to scale and do not reflect the actual relative dimensions. The following embodiments are provided to describe in detail the concept of the instant disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope thereof in any way.
First Embodiment
Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the first embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a color-changeable capacitor casing structure S1, comprising: a metal casing 1, a first covering layer 2 and a second covering layer 3. The metal casing 1 has an outer surface 101 and an inner surface 102, and the metal casing 1 has a receiving space 100 for receiving a capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). In addition, the first covering layer 2 is formed on the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, the second covering layer 3 is formed on the first covering layer 2, and one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 is a thermochromic layer L2 for showing a color that is changeable according to temperature variation. For example, the second covering layer 3 is the thermochromic layer L2 for showing a color that is changeable according to temperature variation.
More particularly, as shown in FIG. 2, the first covering layer 2 may be an insulation material layer L1 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 may be the thermochromic layer L2 for covering the insulation material layer L1. Therefore, heat source H generated by the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13) is transmitted to the thermochromic layer L2 through the metal casing 1 and the insulation material layer L1 in sequence so as to change the color of the thermochromic layer L2 according to different temperatures of the heat source H.
For example, the thermochromic layer L2 can be made of at least one of thermochromic materials or formed by mixing a gel material L20 and a plurality of thermochromic particles L21, such that the thermochromic layer L2 can be firmly formed on the insulation material layer L1 by using the gel material L20. That is to say, when the thermochromic layer L2 is made of at least one thermochromic material, the whole thermochromic layer L2 is the thermochromic material. When the thermochromic layer L2 is formed by mixing the gel material L20 and the thermochromic particles L21, only one part of the thermochromic layer L2 is the thermochromic material (shown as the black circular areas in FIG. 2). In addition, the thermochromic material may be inorganic or organic matter. For example, the inorganic matter may be Ag2HgI4, Cu2HgI4, Tl2HgI4, ZnO, N2O4, Na2O2, or [(CH3)2CHNH2]CuCl3.
Because the color of the thermochromic layer L2 is changeable according to temperature variation of the heat source H, the thermochromic layer L2 can show different colors corresponding to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). Hence, the thermochromic layer L2 can provide different visual effects according to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1, such that it is very convenient for a user to know what temperature the capacitor C1 is and whether the temperature of the capacitor C1 is too high so as to decrease the temperature of the capacitor C1. In addition, the thermochromic layer L2 can provide different temperature distributions according to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1, such that it is very convenient for a tester to know the temperature distribution of the capacitor C1 so as to improve (uniform) the temperature distribution of the capacitor C1.
Second Embodiment
Referring to FIG. 3, the second embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a color-changeable capacitor casing structure S1, comprising: a metal casing 1, a first covering layer 2 and a second covering layer 3. Comparing FIG. 3 with FIG. 2, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the second embodiment, one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 is a color display layer for showing a color that is changeable by receiving a light source B. For example, the color display layer is a photochromic layer L3 for showing a color that is changeable according to wavelength variation of the light source B, and the light source B may be an external light source or an internal light source.
More particularly, the first covering layer 2 is an insulation material layer L1 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 is the photochromic layer L3 for covering the insulation material layer L1. Therefore, the light source B is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 so as to change the color of the photochromic layer L3 according to different wavelengths of the light source B.
For example, the photochromic layer L3 can be made of at least one of photochromic materials or formed by mixing a gel material L30 and a plurality of photochromic particles L31, such that the photochromic layer L3 can be firmly formed on the insulation material layer L1 by using the gel material L30. That is to say, when the photochromic layer L3 is made of at least one photochromic material, the whole photochromic layer L3 is the photochromic material. When the photochromic layer L3 is formed by mixing the gel material L30 and the photochromic particles L31, only one part of the photochromic layer L3 is the photochromic material (shown as the black triangular areas in FIG. 3). In addition, the photochromic material may be silver halide such as AgCl or AgBr.
Because the color of the photochromic layer L3 is changeable according to wavelength variation of the light source B, the photochromic layer L3 can show different colors corresponding to different wavelengths of the light source B that is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 of the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). Hence, the photochromic layer L3 can provide different visual effects according to different wavelengths of the light source B that is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 of the capacitor C1.
Please note that the second covering layer 3 may be a color-changeable layer that is formed by mixing the thermochromic particles L21 and the photochromic particles L31. When the color of the thermochromic particle L21 is changed by receiving the heat source H that is generated by the capacitor C1, the color of the photochromic particle L31 is changed by receiving the light source that is generated by the thermochromic particle L21.
Third Embodiment
Referring to FIG. 4, the third embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a color-changeable capacitor casing structure S1, comprising: a metal casing 1, a first covering layer 2 and a second covering layer 3. Comparing FIG. 4 with FIG. 2, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the third embodiment, one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 is a color display layer for showing a color that is changeable by receiving a light source B. For example, the color display layer is a fluorescent layer L4 for showing a color that is changeable by receiving the light source B, and the light source B may be an external light source or an internal light source.
More particularly, the first covering layer 2 is an insulation material layer L1 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 is the fluorescent layer L4 for covering the insulation material layer L1. Therefore, the light source B is projected onto the fluorescent layer L4 so as to change the color of the fluorescent layer L4 by receiving the light source B.
For example, the fluorescent layer L4 can be made of at least one of fluorescent materials or formed by mixing a gel material L40 and a plurality of fluorescent particles L41, such that the fluorescent layer L4 can be firmly formed on the insulation material layer L1 by using the gel material L40. That is to say, when the fluorescent layer L4 is made of at least one fluorescent material, the whole fluorescent layer L4 is the fluorescent material. When the fluorescent layer L4 is formed by mixing the gel material L40 and the fluorescent particles L41, only one part of the fluorescent layer L4 is the fluorescent material (shown as the black rhomboid areas in FIG. 4).
Therefore, because the color of the fluorescent layer L4 is changeable by receiving the light source B, the fluorescent layer L4 can provide different visual effects by receiving different light source B that is projected onto the fluorescent layer L4 of the capacitor C1.
Please note that the second covering layer 3 may be a color-changeable layer that is formed by mixing the thermochromic particles L21 and the fluorescent particles L41. When the color of the thermochromic particle L21 is changed by receiving the heat source H that is generated by the capacitor C1, the color of the fluorescent particle L41 is changed by receiving the light source that is generated by the thermochromic particle L21.
Fourth Embodiment
Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the fourth embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a color-changeable capacitor casing structure S1, comprising: a metal casing 1, a first covering layer 2 and a second covering layer 3. The metal casing 1 has an outer surface 101 and an inner surface 102, and the metal casing 1 has a receiving space 100 for receiving a capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). In addition, the first covering layer 2 is formed on the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, the second covering layer 3 is formed on the first covering layer 2, and one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 is a thermochromic layer L2 for showing a color that is changeable according to temperature variation. For example, the thermochromic layer L2 can be made of at least one of thermochromic materials or formed by mixing a gel material L20 and a plurality of thermochromic particles L21.
Comparing FIG. 5 with FIG. 1 and comparing FIG. 6 with FIG. 2, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is as follows: in the fourth embodiment, the first covering layer 2 is the thermochromic layer L2 for showing a color that is changeable according to temperature variation. More particularly, the first covering layer 2 may be the thermochromic layer L2 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 may be an insulation material layer L1 for covering the thermochromic layer L2. Therefore, heat source H generated by the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13) is transmitted to the thermochromic layer L2 through the metal casing 1 so as to change the color of the thermochromic layer L2 according to different temperatures of the heat source H. Therefore, the thermochromic layer L2 can provide different colors according to different temperatures of the heat source H respectively.

For example, the color display layer is a photochromic layer L3 for showing a color that is changeable according to wavelength variation of the light source B, and the light source B may be an external light source or an internal light source.
More particularly, the first covering layer 2 is the photochromic layer L3 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 is an insulation material layer L1 for covering the photochromic layer L3. Therefore, the light source B can pass through the insulation material layer L1 and is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 so as to change the color of the photochromic layer L3 according to different wavelengths of the light source B. For example, the photochromic layer L3 can be made of at least one of photochromic materials or formed by mixing a gel material L30 and a plurality of photochromic particles L31.

For example, the color display layer is a fluorescent layer L4 for showing a color that is changeable by receiving the light source B, and the light source B may be an external light source or an internal light source.
More particularly, the first covering layer 2 is the fluorescent layer L4 for covering the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 is an insulation material layer L1 for covering the fluorescent layer L4. Therefore, the light source B can pass through the insulation material layer L1 and is projected onto the fluorescent layer L4 so as to change the color of the fluorescent layer L4 by receiving the light source B. For example, the fluorescent layer L4 can be made of at least one of fluorescent materials or formed by mixing a gel material L40 and a plurality of fluorescent particles L41.

For example, one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 is a thermochromic layer L2 for showing a color that is changeable according to temperature variation, that is to say the color-changeable capacitor casing structure S1 of the first embodiment (as shown in FIG. 2) or the fourth embodiment (as shown in FIG. 6) can be applied to the color-changeable capacitor package structure P of the tenth embodiment according to different requirements.

Please note that FIG. 14 shows a schematic view of one type of circuit board assembly according to the eleventh embodiment of the instant disclosure, and FIG. 16 shows a schematic view of another type of circuit board assembly according to the eleventh embodiment of the instant disclosure. Hence, the color-changeable capacitor package structure P as shown in FIG. 14 and the color-changeable capacitor package structure P as shown in FIG. 16 are two different types of capacitor package structures.
In conclusion, the color of the color display layer such as a photochromic layer L3 or a fluorescent layer L4 is changeable due to the features of “the first covering layer 2 being formed on the outer surface 101 of the metal casing 1, and the second covering layer 3 being formed on the first covering layer 2” and “one of the first covering layer 2 and the second covering layer 3 being a color display layer for showing a color that is changeable by receiving a light source B”.
Because the color of the photochromic layer L3 is changeable according to wavelength variation of the light source B, the photochromic layer L3 can show different colors corresponding to different wavelengths of the light source B that is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 of the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). Hence, the photochromic layer L3 can provide different visual effects according to different wavelengths of the light source B that is projected onto the photochromic layer L3 of the capacitor C1. On the other hand, because the color of the fluorescent layer L4 is changeable by receiving the light source B, the fluorescent layer L4 can provide different visual effects by receiving different light source B that is projected onto the fluorescent layer L4 of the capacitor C1.
More particularly, because the color of the thermochromic layer L2 is changeable according to temperature variation of the heat source H, the thermochromic layer L2 can show different colors corresponding to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1 (as shown in FIG. 13). Hence, the thermochromic layer L2 can provide different visual effects according to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1, such that it is very convenient for a user to know what temperature the capacitor C1 is and whether the temperature of the capacitor C1 is too high so as to decrease the temperature of the capacitor C1. In addition, the thermochromic layer L2 can provide different temperature distributions according to different temperatures of the heat source H generated by the capacitor C1, such that it is very convenient for a tester to know the temperature distribution of the capacitor C1 so as to improve (uniform) the temperature distribution of the capacitor C1.
