Abstract
An electrical assembly ( , FIG. ) is formed from two, interconnected circuit boards ( ). Conductive spacers ( ) and a conductive material ( ) are placed between complementary bond pads ( ) on the circuit boards. The conductive spacers are formed from a material that maintains its mechanical integrity during the process of attaching the circuit boards. The conductive material is a solder or conductive adhesive used to mechanically attach the circuit boards. In addition, an insulating material ( ) is inserted into an interface region ( ) between the circuit boards. The insulating material provides additional mechanical connection between the circuit boards. In one embodiment, one circuit board ( ) includes a glass panel that holds an array of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and the other circuit board ( ) is a ceramic circuit board. Together, the interconnected circuit board assembly ( ) forms a portion of a flat panel display ( , FIG. ).
