Abstract

An impact resistant structure adapted to an electronic component. The impact resistant structure includes a resistance stack layer and a damping laminate. The resistance stack layer is disposed on a first surface of the electronic component, and the damping laminate is disposed on a second surface of the electronic component. The second surface of the electronic component is opposite to the first surface. The damping laminate includes a soft film and a support film, where the support film is disposed between the soft film and the electronic component.

Claims (35)

1. An impact resistant structure, disposed on an electronic component, comprising:
