Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flexible circuit board and a method for production thereof in which in cases where elastic wiring in movable parts is required, the wiring can be made to expand and contract with a simple arrangement, and the circuit board is excellent in weight and size reduction, and breaking or disconnection and exfoliation of a wiring layer do not take place easily, even in cases where the circuit board is deformed in a repeated manner. The flexible circuit board which has an insulating film made of a thermoplastic resin, a wiring layer formed on the insulating film, and an insulating layer made of a thermoplastic resin and formed on the wiring layer. A spiral part shaped into a spiral shape is provided in at least a part of the flexible circuit board, and the flexible circuit board is constructed to be expandable and contractable, and/or torsionally deformable in the spiral part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A flexible circuit board comprising: an insulating film made of a thermoplastic resin; a wiring layer formed on said insulating film; and an insulating layer made of a thermoplastic resin and formed on said wiring layer; wherein a spiral part shaped into a spiral shape is formed in at least a part of said flexible circuit board; said spiral part is shaped in such a manner that a part of a circumferential surface and another adjacent part of the…
