Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A case includes a movable body to which an optical module having a first flexible wiring board is to be attached, a fixed body, and a second flexible wiring board with which the first flexible wiring board is to be connected. The movable body is swingably held by the fixed body, and the second flexible wiring board is structured to be resiliently bent easier than the first flexible wiring board.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A case comprising: a movable body to which an optical module having a first flexible wiring board is to be attached; a fixed body; and a second flexible wiring board with which the first flexible wiring board is to be connected; wherein the movable body is swingably held by the fixed body; and the second flexible wiring board is structured to be resiliently bent easier than the first flexible wiring board, the second flexible wiring board comprises a first extended part which extends vertically along a first direction and a second extended part which extends vertically along a second direction intersecting the first direction at a 90 degree angle, and the first vertical extended part connects to a connector which joints the first flexible wiring board to the second flexible wiring board, and the connector is oriented in a vertical direction. 2. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the second flexible wiring board comprises a connector which is to be connected with the first flexible wiring board. 3. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the movable body is capable of swinging with respect to the fixed body with an axial line direction of the optical module as a swing axis. 4. The case according to claim 3 , wherein the movable body is capable of swinging with respect to the fixed body only with the axial line direction of the optical module as a swing axis. 5. The case according to claim 3 , wherein the movable body is capable of swinging with respect to the fixed body, in addition to the swing axis in the axial line direction, with a direction intersecting the axial line direction as a swing axis. 6. The case according to claim 1 , wherein the second flexible wiring board comprises a first extended part which is extended in a first direction and a second extended part which is extended in a second direction intersecting the first direction. 7. An optical unit comprising: the case defined in claim 1 ; and an optical module.
