Latest Patents

Taguchi’s patent, “Electrode Connecting Device of Liquid Crystal Display Element,” describes a device that connects a transparent electrode terminal on a flexible-film substrate to terminals in a driving circuit and an external circuit. The connection uses an anisotropic conductive film containing conductive particles.

The design includes a protective film over the connecting portion of the transparent electrode. During thermal press-fixing, this film helps absorb stress and allows conductive particles to move within the anisotropic conductive film. The particles extend through the protective film to establish an electrical connection between the electrodes. The patent also describes configurations in which the protective film covers only the transparent electrode, or an additional protective film covers the surrounding substrate area.
