Benefits of technology

[0020]Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rigid-flexible printed circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same, in which coverlays are layered on the entire surface of a double-sided FCCL without previous processing thereof, via holes are formed in the coverlays while a drilling process is performed to form the via holes, and then copper plating is performed over the entire surface thereof, thereby eliminating the cost of previously processing the coverlays, easily performing a process of provisionally layering the coverlays on the double-sided FCCL, and decreasing the cost thereof.
[0021]Another object of the present invention is to provide a rigid-flexible printed circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same, in which resists are not used, thereby decreasing the cost of applying and removing the resists, and preventing defects from occurring because residual resist does not remain after removing the resist.

Problems solved by technology

However, since, in the conventional rigid-flexible printed circuit board, the windows are formed in the coverlays through previous processing, there have been problems in that manufacturing cost is high, and the process of layering the coverlays on the double-sided FCCL in to conform to the inner circuit patterns respectively formed on the two sides of the double-sided FCCL is difficult, and thus the cost of performing the processing is high.
Further, there have been problems in that the cost of applying and removing the resists is high, and defects may occur because residual resist is present on the circuit pattern after removal of the resists.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a rigid-flexible printed circuit board and, more particularly, to a rigid-flexible printed circuit board including CL via holes which can facilitate electrical connection to an inner circuit pattern in a flexible region. Since the coverlays are layered on the entire surface of the double-sided FCCL without previous processing thereof, the via holes are formed in the coverlays while a drilling process is performed to form the via holes, and then the copper plating is performed over the entire surface thereof, it is possible to eliminate the cost of previously processing the coverlays, easily perform a process of provisionally layering the coverlays on the double-sided FCCL, and decrease the cost therefor.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0065847, filed Jul. 13, 2006, entitled “Rigid-flexible printed circuit board and manufacturing method therefor”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1.
