    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board (150A-150H) has a flexible dynamic region (151), and relatively rigid static regions (152,153) between which the dynamic region (151) extends. Portions of a base layer (161), a conductive layer (165) extending on the base layer (161), and a cover layer (162) covering the conductive layer (165) make up the dynamic region (151). Extensions of the base layer (161), the conductive layer (165), and the cover layer (162), and portions of a metal layer (180) to which the base layer (161) is attached make up each of the static regions (152,153). The metal layer (180) enhances the rigidity of the flexible printed circuit board (150A-H) at the static regions (152,153). The metal layer (180) also has rounded corners (190A-D,192A-D) at sides of each of the boundaries (i,ii) between the dynamic region (151) and each of the static regions (152, 153) to minimize stress concentrations at the boundaries (i,ii). The conductive layer (165) is made up of real traces (166) through which electrical signals are transmitted, and dummy traces (167A). The dummy traces (167A) are disposed outwardly of the real traces (166) to prevent the flexible printed circuit board (150A-H) from cracking at the boundaries (i,ii) between the dynamic region (151) and each of the static regions (152,153). In a hard disk drive (HDD) the flexible printed circuit board (150A-F) electrically connects a head stack assembly (HSA) and a main circuit board.

    Abstract: An anti-deformation structure is formed on the surface of a flexible plate-shaped part. The anti-deformation structure includes protrusions and depressions formed on the surface of the plate-shaped part. The protrusions and depressions has a shape in which adjacent protrusions become in contact with each other in the state when the plate-shaped part is deformed within a range of elastic deformation, restricting further greater deformation, and thus, preventing excessive deformation leading to permanent deformation and raising the resistance to the stress. The flexible base material can be applied to flexible image-displaying devices.

    Abstract: A flexible circuit board assembly comprising a flexible circuit board (304) having a first portion and a second portion separated by a bendable region (320) and a substantially rigid substrate (306) having a first portion and a second portion separated by a bend region (310). The rigid substrate (306) has an inside surface (322) and an outside surface. The first and second portions of the circuit board (304) are affixed to the respective first and second portions of the substrate (306) such that when the substrate is bent the bendable region (320) of the circuit board (304) must also bend. The bend region (320) has a recess (314) extending outwardly from the inside surface (322) of the substrate (306), and the recess is sized to accept the bendable region (320) of the circuit board around a single bend axis when the substrate (306) is bent. The recess provides for a larger bend radius of the circuit board reducing stress.

    Abstract: In order to provide a wired circuit board in which electrical continuity inspection can be omitted and a connection structure of the wired circuit board, in connection between a first wired circuit board 1 and a second wired circuit board 2, a first connection terminal 13 and a second connection terminal 14 are abutted against each other in the direction in which they are opposed along the respective longitudinal direction of the wired circuit boards, and are arranged in line with each other, and a solder bump 15 is provided so as to continuously extend over surfaces of the first connection terminal 13 and the second connection terminal 14. Consequently, the solder bump 15 is not interposed between opposed surfaces of the first connection terminal 13 and the second connection terminal 14, thereby allowing electrical connection by the solder bump 15 between the first connection terminal 13 and the second connection terminal 14 to be confirmed from the appearance by visual observation.
