Abstract

A wireless power charging system includes a reception coil unit including an insulating layer, a first coil including a first body portion disposed as a spiral on one surface of the insulating layer and a first lead portion extending from one end of the first body portion and led out of the insulating layer, and a second coil including a second body portion formed on the other surface of the insulating layer and electrically connected to the other end of the first body portion through a via and a second lead portion extending from the second body portion and led out of the insulating layer. The second coil has a width larger than that of the first coil and has a thickness smaller than that of the first coil.

Claims

1. A wireless power receiving device which receives electric power wirelessly from a wireless power transmitting device, the wireless power receiving device including a reception coil unit, wherein the reception coil unit includes:

an insulating layer;

a first coil including a first body portion disposed as a spiral on a first surface of the insulating layer and a first lead portion extending from a first end of the first body portion and led out of the insulating layer; and

a second coil including a second body portion disposed on a second surface of the insulating layer opposing the first surface and electrically connected to a second end of the first body portion through a via and a second lead portion extending from the second body portion and led out of the insulating layer,

wherein the second coil has a width larger than that of the first coil and a thickness smaller than that of the first coil.

2. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, further comprising first and second electrode pads provided to be respectively connected to ends of the first and second lead portions.

3. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, wherein the first and second lead portions are led out through the same surface of the insulating layer.

4. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, wherein the thickness of the first coil is 100 μ

m or greater, and the thickness of the second coil is 50 μ

m or less.

5. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, further comprising a slit on the second surface of the insulating, layer, wherein the second body portion is inserted into the slit.

6. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, wherein the first body portion and the second body portion have a same cross-sectional shape.

7. The wireless power receiving device of claim 6, wherein the same cross-sectional shape is rectangular.

8. The wireless power receiving device of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second coil is conductive across the entire width and thickness thereof.
