Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television apparatus includes a circuit board, a pad, a heat-transfer layer, and a block. The circuit board is mounted with an electronic component. The pad is provided on a surface of the circuit board. The heat-transfer layer is formed on the inner surface of a through hole in the circuit board. The through hole has an opening on the pad. The block contains a resin material and is located inside the heat-transfer layer to block the through hole.

Claims (11)

1. An electronic device comprising: a circuit board configured to be mounted with an electronic component; a pad provided on a surface of the circuit board and electrically coupled to the electronic component; a heat-transfer layer formed on an inner surface of a through hole in the circuit board, the through hole creating an opening in the pad; a block containing a resin material and located inside the heat-transfer layer to block the through hole; a first connection layer containing a resin material and provided only within the periphery of the pad, the first connection layer configured to connect the block to the periphery of the pad, the resin material being softened when heated, and solder provided on the first connection layer, the solder electrically coupling the electronic component to the pad.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the first connection layer comprises a plurality of connection layers, and

each of the plurality of connection layers are configured to be connected to the block.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein

the block comprises a plurality of blocks, and

the plurality of connection layers are configured to be arranged in a grid with at least one of the plurality of blocks as a grid point.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising a second connection layer containing a resin material and provided on the pad, the second connection layer configured to connect between at least two of the plurality of blocks.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the connection layer is configured to be arranged in a straight line between the block and the periphery of the pad closest to the block.

6. An electronic device comprising: a circuit board configured to be mounted with an electronic component; a pad provided on a surface of the circuit board and electrically coupled to the electronic component; a heat-transfer layer formed on an inner surface of a through hole in the circuit board, the through hole creating an opening in the pad; a block containing a resin material and located inside the heat-transfer layer to block the through hole; connection layer containing a resin material and provided only within the periphery of the pad, the connection layer configured to connect the block to the periphery of the pad, the resin material being softened when heated, and solder provided on the first connection layer, the solder electrically coupling the electronic component to the pad.

7. A circuit board structure comprising: a circuit board configured to be mounted with an electronic component; a pad provided on a surface of the circuit board and electrically coupled to the electronic component; a heat-transfer layer formed on an inner surface of a through hole in the circuit board, the through hole creating an opening in the pad; a block containing a resin material and located inside the heat-transfer layer to block the through hole; connection layer containing a resin material and provided only within the periphery of the pad, the connection layer configured to connect the block to the periphery of the pad, the resin material being softened when heated, and solder provided on the first connection layer, the solder electrically coupling the electronic component to the pad.
