Multilayer ceramic capacitor with patterned electrodes

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a ceramic body including first and second end surfaces facing to each other in a length direction, first and second side surfaces facing to each other in a width direction, upper and lower surfaces facing to each other in a thickness direction having a preset size of length, width, and thickness;
• first and second external electrodes disposed on the ceramic body and respectively including:
• first and second body portions covering both the first and second end surfaces of the ceramic body and spaced apart from each other in the length direction of the ceramic body;
• and
• first and second band portions extending from the body portions and covering both the first and second side surfaces of the ceramic body in the width direction and both the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic body in the thickness direction;
• a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed in a thickness direction with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, connected to the first and second end surfaces of the ceramic body, respectively, and connected to the first and second external electrodes, respectively;
• and
• first and second patterned electrodes respectively partially covering the first and second band portions on the upper surface or lower surface of the ceramic body in the thickness direction and partially covering first and second body portions,
• wherein the first and second patterned electrodes include:
• a plurality of island-shaped patterns having a polygonal shape disposed on each of the first and second band portions;
• or
• a plurality of striped-shaped patterns that arranged at regular intervals in the width direction disposed on each of the first and second band portions,
• the first and second band portions on the upper surface or lower surface of the ceramic body in the thickness direction include an exposed surface on which the first and second patterned electrodes is not disposed, and
• a ratio of a total area of the exposed surface to a total area of the first and second patterned electrodes disposed on the first and second band portions on the upper surface or lower surface of the ceramic body in the thickness direction is 1:2 or more and 1:4 or less.
