Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve space efficiency of a product wherein a flexible circuit board is incorporated by thinning a pattern thickness at a circuit board bending part in the flexible circuit board which is provided with a pattern on a film whose base material is resin. CONSTITUTION:A pilot hole 2 and a device hole 3 are shaped in a film 1. After copper foil is laminated on the film 1 and a resist film is formed on a surface of the copper foil by a coater, exposure and development are carried out, and half etching is performed to acquire a half etching part 9. Then, after a resist film is peeled off and coating, exposure and development of a resist film are carried out again, the resist film is etched and peeled off to acquire a flexible circuit board whereon a copper foil pattern 4 is formed. When the flexible circuit board is bent at 90 deg. at the half etching part 4, strength of the half etching part is weakened compared with other parts; therefore, it can be bent acutely in the half etching part.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, when folded and used,
Because there is no difference in thickness between the folded part and the unbent part,
In addition to being difficult to bend, the bent portion forms an arc, creating dead space within products that incorporate conventional circuit boards, and hindering miniaturization and thinning of products. Furthermore, in the improved type, in which a slit 5 is made in the resin fly at the bending part so that only the copper foil pattern 4 is bent, the arc shape at the bending part disappears, and although it is effective in making the product smaller and thinner, it is not strong enough. Since the resin is used up and the copper foils J and 11 are bent, cracks 8 occur at the folded portions of the copper foil pattern 4, resulting in lower yield and lower reliability.

A pilot hole 2 and a device 63 are created in the fill 1 by a method such as press punching, NC cutter cutting, laser cutting, chemical etching, etc. After this, the copper foil is bonded onto the film], a resist film is formed on the surface of the copper foil using a coater, and then exposed, developed, and half-etched to obtain the /''%-etched area 9. .After this,
After removing the resist film, coating the resist film again, exposing it, and developing it, etching and removing the resist film are performed to form a copper foil pattern 4. The plan view of FIG. 1(a) and FIG. ) is obtained. This example is an example of a three-layer flexible circuit board in which adhesive 6 is laminated on film 1 and copper foil is pasted, but there is also a case of a two-layer flexible circuit board without adhesive 6. do. In addition to the two-row arrangement shown in this embodiment, the half-etched portions 9 may be arranged in one row.
There may be multiple arrays. When the flexible circuit board of the present invention is bent 90 degrees at the half-etched part 4, the half-etched part is weaker in strength than other parts, so the half-etched part is bent at an acute angle.

As mentioned above, according to the invention, by reducing the thickness of the pattern at the bent portion of the circuit board, when the circuit board is bent, the strength of the half-etched portion is weaker than other parts. The half-etched part is bent at an acute angle, and since the half-etched part is not a body for copper foil, but has a laminated structure with a film, it is strong and prevents cracks in the copper foil. Compared to the case of a conventional flexible circuit board in which the thickness of the panel is not reduced, the difference has the effect of improving the space efficiency of a product incorporating a flexible circuit board and making the product smaller and thinner.
