As in the first embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of throughholes 55 are formed in eachconductive layer region 30. The inner wall of the throughholes 55 is coated with the same conductor as the conductor coated over theconductive layer region 30. - Components are mounted on the circuit board to interconnect the neighboring
conductive layer regions 30. When the power is supplied, the components start to operate. -
FIG. 11 is a cross section view of a circuit board according to a third embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 12 is a plane view ofFIG. 11 .FIG. 11 is a cross section view of the circuit board with the LED mounted, taken along the line BB′ ofFIG. 12 . - In the circuit board, a plurality of
conductive layer regions 30 is formed in both sides across an insulatingregion 50, as in the second embodiment of the present invention. A plurality of throughholes conductive layer region 30. The inner wall of the throughholes conductive layer region 30. - Additionally, the circuit board has radiating
pins 90 protruding downward by inserting and fixing to the throughholes 56 where lead pins 61, 62, 71 and 72 of the high-brightness LEDs holes 56 and the conductive layers on both sides, the heat radiation is effectively performed. -
FIG. 13 is a cross section view of a circuit board heat radiating system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. - The circuit board heat radiating system includes a
circuit board 100 having a plurality of the throughholes 110, aradiating pad 120 attached to one side of thecircuit board 100, and aheat sink 130 mounted to the outside of theradiating pad 120. - As in the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the
circuit board 100 includes a plurality ofconductive layer regions 105 formed symmetrically in both sides of the insulating substrate. A plurality of the throughholes 110 is formed in theconductive area 105. The inner wall of the throughholes 110 is coated with the same conductor as in theconductive layer region 105. - Components are mounted on the
circuit board 100. In this embodiment, achip LED 115 is mounted thereon. Thechip LED 115 includes anLED body 116, aLED cover 117, a pair ofelectrodes 119, and anLED substrate 118. Herein, the pair of theelectrodes 119 is formed to surround theLED substrate 118. Theelectrodes 119 are soldered to the surface of thecircuit board 100 so that thechip LED 115 is mounted directly on the surface of thecircuit board 100. - The
radiating pad 120 is formed as a plate shape and adhered to one side of thecircuit board 110 where the components are not mounted. Theradiating pad 120 is fabricated using an insulator such as silicon. Accordingly, theradiating pad 120 can avoid the short between theconductive layer regions 105. Theradiating pad 120 receives the heat, which is produced by the components, from thecircuit board 100. As the throughholes 110 are formed in thecircuit board 100, the heat can be more efficiently and rapidly transferred to theradiating pad 120 via the throughholes 110. As such, theradiating pad 120 lowers the temperature of thecircuit board 100 by exhausting the heat from thecircuit board 100 to the other side. - The
heat sink 130, like theradiating pad 120, is formed in a plate shape and mounted to the exterior of theradiating pad 120. Theheat sink 130 can be fabricated using a metal of the fast heat transfer and radiation, for example, using aluminum.FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the heat sink ofFIG. 13 . - The
heat sink 130 includes aheat sink body 135 in close contact with theradiating pad 120, a fixingarm 140 which secures theradiating pad 120 and thecircuit board 100 along the circumference of theheat sink body 135, and acoupling arm 145 which couples theheat sink 130 to the device body. - In the side facing the
radiating pad 120, theheat sink body 135 has a radiatinggroove 136 depressed lengthwise along one side of theheat sink body 135. A plurality of the radiatinggrooves 136 is formed at intervals widthwise in the longitudinal direction. The radiatinggrooves 136 serve to increase the surface area for receiving the heat transferred from theradiating pad 120, to thus enable the fast and efficient heat transfer of theheat sink 130. - In the side facing the
coupling arm 145 of theheat sink body 135, a radiatingrib 137 is formed which protrudes lengthwise in one direction of theheat sink body 135. A plurality of the radiatingribs 137 is formed at intervals widthwise in its longitudinal direction. The radiatingribs 137 are formed lengthwise in the same direction of the longitudinal direction of the radiatinggrooves 136. The interval between the neighboring radiatingribs 137 may be constant or random. Since the radiatingribs 137 serve to increase the surface area for exhausting the heat transferred from theradiating pad 120 to outside, it enables the rapid heat exhaustion of theheat sink 130. - The fixing
arm 140 bends from the circumference of theheat sink body 135 toward the side where the radiatinggroove 136 is formed and bends toward the center of theheat sink body 135. Preferably, the height of the fixingarm 140 from theheat sink body 135 is the sum of the widths of theradiating pad 120 and thecircuit board 100. - The
coupling arm 145 extends from the circumference of theheat sink body 135 to the opposite direction of the fixingarm 140 and bends its free end toward the center of theheat sink body 135. Thecoupling arm 145 functions to secure thecircuit board 100, theradiating pad 120, and theheat sink 130 within the device body where thecircuit board 100 is mounted. - By coupling the
radiating pad 120 and theheat sink 130 to thecircuit board 100, the heat produced from the components of thecircuit board 100 can be radiated efficiently. -
FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a circuit board with a radiating pad and a heat sink mounted, andFIG. 16 is a side cross section view ofFIG. 15 . - On the
circuit board 100, a plurality ofchip LEDs 115 is arranged in a matrix form at intervals. Between thecircuit board 100 and thechip LED 115, a reflectingplate 150 is mounted to improve the illuminance by reflecting the light radiated from thechip LED 115. The reflectingplate 150 is formed in a quadrangular pyramid shape. Receding from thecircuit board 100, the width increases. - With the plurality of the
chip LEDs 115, the temperature of thecircuit board 100 rises due to the heat produced at thechip LEDs 115. The heat transferred to thecircuit board 100 is transferred to theradiating pad 120. Next, the heat is transferred to theheat sink 130. Since the radiatinggroves 130 of theheat sink 130 increase the surface area, the fast heat transfer is achieved. The heat transferred to theheat sink 130 is exhausted to outside rapidly by means of the radiatingribs 137 of theheat sink 130. - As above, the heat radiating system of the circuit board rapidly exhausts the heat transferred from the components to the
circuit board 100, to thus accomplish the efficient heat radiation of thecircuit board 100. Therefore, it is possible not only to prevent the components mounted on thecircuit board 100 from malfunctioning or reducing the lifespan because of the heat but also to lower the power consumption. Particularly, in case of a light emitting component such aschip LED 115, the illuminance drop of thechip LED 115 can be prevented. - The present invention is applicable to the electronics industry to effectively radiate the heat produced from the electronic components mounted on the circuit board.
