Display device with LEDs having a reduction of the thermal expansion coefficients among the associated components
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- an interconnection frame including,a resin substrate having a top surface, opposite side surfaces and a bottom surface opposite said top surface and formed of resin capable of receiving a conductive plating process, andan electric lead interconnection formed by conductive matel plating on at least said top surface of said resin substrate and defining a main surface of the interconnection frame, said electric lead interconnection being led to either one of a bottom surface of said resin substrate, a side surface of said resin substrate, and both said bottom surface and said side surface of said resin substrate;
an LED located at a predetermined position on said main surface of said interconnection frame and bonded to be connected to said electric led interconnection;
a reflection use formed of resin having an opening and an inner peripheral surface serving as a reflection surface surrounding said LED at a position corresponding to the arrangement of said LED, and affixed to said main surface of said interconnection frame; and
a light transmissive resin member covering said LED in said opening of said reflection case.

Abstract
A display device with LEDs includes an interconnection frame in which an electrical lead interconnection is formed by conductive metal plating on a surface including a main surface of a resin substrate capable of receiving a plating process. LEDs are bonded at the predetermined positions on the main surface of this interconnection frame so that they are connected to the electric lead interconnection. A reflection case having openings with their inner peripheral surfaces serving as reflection surfaces surrounding the LEDs is affixed to the main surface of the interconnection frame at a position corresponding to the LED arrangement. In the openings of the reflection case, the LEDs are covered with light transmissive resin members. Because the interconnection frame for the lead is formed of resin as well as the reflection case and provided with metal plating interconnection, thermal stresses are not produced due to difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the interconnection frame and the reflection case.
