Key Design Considerations for Optical Module Structure
Unlike conventional PCBs, those designed for optical modules operate at the intersection of extreme electrical performance, stringent thermal constraints, and microscopic mechanical tolerances. This document focuses on projection optical modules that incorporate Texas Instruments' DLP Display chips and are designed to project an image onto a surface for a variety of applications, including smartphones, tablets, display projectors, smart home displays, digital signage, AR glasses, and. The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) at the heart of these modules is no longer a simple substrate but a highly engineered system. Printed plug fabrication involves five pattern transfers: outer layer circuitry once, solder resist exposure once, printed plug plating once, lead etching once, and selective gold plating or.
