Abstract

A substrate structure capable of miniaturizing and thinning a housing of a portable terminal is provided. A substrate structure 10 comprises a substrate 11 , plural electronic components 12 mounted along one mounting surface 11 A in the substrate 11 , and a resin part 13 for making close contact with the mounting surface 11 A of the substrate 11 while each of the electronic components 12 is covered with a resin 13 A. In the substrate structure 10 , a through hole 14 extending through the substrate 11 in a thickness direction is disposed and also the side of the mounting surface 11 A in the through hole 14 is closed by a lid member 15 . A rising part 21 is disposed in a peripheral part of this lid member 15.

Claims (17)

1. A substrate structure comprising:

a substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface;

a through hole extends through the substrate from the first surface to the second surface;

a lid member disposed on the first surface for closing the through hole;

a frame body disposed on the first surface for covering the lid member;

a resin part filled between the frame body and the lid member;

a first electronic component disposed within the through hole and inside the lid member, protruding from the through hole to the side of the first surface;

a space provided between the lid member and the first electronic component; and

a second substrate which is connected to the second surface, and on which the first electronic component is mounted.

2. A substrate structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second electronic component disposed on the first surface outside of the lid member, wherein the frame body and the resin part cover the second electronic component.

3. A substrate structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a display device,

wherein the second substrate comprises a soft wiring board connected to the display device.

4. The substrate structure of claim 1 , wherein a size of the through hole in a direction of the first surface is equal to a size of the body of the first electronic component in the direction of the first surface allowing an entire section of the body of the first electronic component in the direction of the first surface to be received in the through hole of the substrate.

5. The substrate structure of claim 1 , wherein a size of the through hole in a direction of the first surface is greater than a size of the body of the first electronic component in the direction of the first surface allowing an entire section of the body of the first electronic component in the direction of the first surface to be received in the through hole of the substrate.

6. An electronic apparatus including a substrate structure as claimed in claim 1 .
