Abstract
An inductor bridge includes a flexible substrate and a coil defined by a conductor pattern provided on or in the flexible substrate, and connects a plurality of circuit portions. The flexible substrate includes a rigid portion and a flexible portion, the rigid portion being wider than the flexible portion. The rigid portion includes the coil and a joining portion connected to another circuit. The coil includes two coil portions located at different positions in plan view, a flexible portion is located adjacent to one side of the rigid portion, and at least two coil portions of the plurality of coil portions are located on the one side when viewed from the joining portion.
Claims14
An inductor bridge comprising:
- a flexible substrate;
- and
- a coil defined by a conductor pattern provided on or in the flexible substrate;
- wherein
- the inductor bridge connects a plurality of circuit portions;
- the flexible substrate includes at least one rigid portion and at least one flexible portion;
