Abstract
A flexible first circuit member (10) includes conductors (11) wired thereto. The conductors (11) include a first conductor group (12). The first circuit member defines an opening (14) having a first edge part (14d). The first conductor group (12) terminates at the first edge part (14d). A flexible second circuit member (13) is electrically connected to first conductor group (12) at the first edge part (14d).
Claims11
A flexible circuit board comprising:
- a flexible base member having an enclosed opening including a first edge along a portion of the opening and a third edge along another portion of the opening, the first edge and the third edge facing each other, the base member including a second edge away from the opening, the first and the second edges being on opposite sides of the third edge;
- and
- a circuit wired to the base member, the circuit including a first conductor terminating at the first edge for electrical connection, the circuit including a second conductor arranged side-by-side the first conductor, the second conductor extending beyond the opening, fully bypassing the opening, and terminating at the second edge for electrical connection.
A connection structure comprising:
- a flexible first circuit member including conductors wired thereto, the conductors including a first conductor group, the first circuit member defining an opening having a first edge part, the first conductor group terminating at the first edge part, and wherein the first circuit member also includes a second edge part, and the conductors include a second conductor group terminating at the second edge part;
- a flexible second circuit member electrically connected to the first conductor group at the first edge part;
- and
- a flexible third circuit member electrically connected to the second conductor group at the second edge part.
