Abstract

An image display device includes: a flexible board, a vibrational structure including a light reflecting film for reflecting light, and a molded circuit component including a mounting portion which is electrically connected to the vibrational structure and on which the vibrational structure is mounted and a connecting portion which is electrically and mechanically connected to the flexible board and which has a lower dynamic rigidity than the mounting portion. The flexible board and the vibrational structure are electrically connected via the molded circuit component.

Claims (10)

1 . An image display device comprising: a flexible board; a vibrational structure including a light reflecting film for reflecting light; and a molded circuit component including a mounting portion which is electrically connected to the vibrational structure and on which the vibrational structure is mounted and a connecting portion which is electrically and mechanically connected to the flexible board and which has a lower dynamic rigidity than the mounting portion, wherein the flexible board and the vibrational structure are electrically connected via the molded circuit component, wherein the connecting portion of the molded circuit component includes a first member which has a smaller thickness in a first direction than the mounting portion and which is connected to an end surface of the mounting portion and a second member which has a smaller thickness in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction than that of the mounting portion in the first direction and which is connected to an end surface of the first member when the first direction is defined as a direction perpendicular to a surface on which the vibrational structure is mounted.

2 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the connecting portion of the molded circuit component in a first direction is smaller than that of the mounting portion when the first direction is defined as a direction perpendicular to a surface on which the vibrational structure is mounted.

3 . The image display device according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting portion of the molded circuit component is connected to a position farther from the vibrational structure than a position of the surface on which the vibrational structure is mounted on an end surface of the mounting portion.

4 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion of the molded circuit component is formed of a material with a lower dynamic rigidity than the mounting portion.

5 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein a groove is formed in the connecting portion of the molded circuit component such that a dynamic rigidity of the connecting portion is lower than that when the groove is not formed.

6 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein a cutout is formed between the mounting portion and the connecting portion of the molded circuit component.

7 . The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two holes are formed in the flexible board, and

wherein at least two protrusions which are inserted into the holes are formed in the connecting portion of the molded circuit component.

8 . The image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a base,

wherein the mounting portion of the molded circuit component is supported by the base.
