The electromagnetic shielding case includes a casing body internally defining a shielding space and multiple fixing pins formed on lower edges of the casing body corresponding to the positioning holes on the PCB. Each fixing pin includes a neck portion and an end portion with an angle included therebetween. After the fixing pins are correspondingly extended through the positioning holes, the end portions can be deflected by an angle to thereby hold the casing body to the PCB with the electronic component located in the shielding space and shielded against EMI. With these arrangements, the electromagnetic shielding case can be quickly mounted to and dismounted from the PCB. | 2013-12-12 |
20130329382 | FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND DISPLAY DEVICE COMPRISING THE SAME - The flexible printed circuit board includes a plane part, a plurality of bending parts extending and bent from the plane part, wherein each of the plane part and the bending parts includes a base film, a wiring pattern, a cover film and a wiring pattern of the plane part and wiring patterns of the bending parts are electrically connected to each other. The display device including a display panel; one or more flexible printed circuit board electrically connected to the display panel; a main driving printed circuit board electrically connected to the flexible printed circuit board, wherein the one or more flexible printed circuit board includes a first part, a plurality of second parts extending from the first part, and each of the first parts and the second parts includes a base film, a wiring pattern, a cover film disposed on the base film and the wiring pattern. | 2013-12-12 |
