Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗An electronic apparatus 1 includes a flat cable 70 , an end 70 a of which is bonded to the front surface of a sub-board 30 through an anisotropic conductive film 79 , engaged portions 74 A and 74 B formed in the flat cable 70 , and an intermediate frame 40 that engages with the engaged portions 74 A and 74 B to restrain the movement of the engaged portions 74 A and 74 B in a direction away from the electrode on the sub-board 30 . Consequently, it is possible to realize a reduction in costs while maintaining connection stability between a flat cable and a circuit board.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a circuit board;
a flat cable, one end of which is bonded to a surface of the circuit board through an anisotropic conductive film and connected to an electrode on the circuit board;
an engaged portion formed in the flat cable; and
an engaging member which engages with the engaged portion to restrain a movement of the engaged portion in a direction away from the electrode on the circuit board,
wherein the engaged portion is located apart from a plane defined by the surface of the circuit board in thickness direction of the circuit board, and the engaging member pushes the engaged portion toward the electrode on the circuit board.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flat cable includes the engaged portion in a position closer to the one end than an intermediate position between the other end and the one end of the flat cable.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the engaged portion projects in a direction along the circuit board from an edge of the flat cable.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flat cable includes a reinforcing plate, and the reinforcing plate constitutes the engaged portion.
5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the engaged portion is located further outwardly than an outer edge of the circuit board.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first circuit board to which the other end of the flat cable is connected; and
a second circuit board functioning as the circuit board and arranged facing the first circuit board, wherein
the flat cable is bent between the one end thereof and the other end thereof, and
the flat cable includes a reinforcing plate between the bent portion and the one end thereof.
7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the engaging member and the circuit board are fixed to each other.
