Abstract

The present invention provides a flexible printed circuit which is free from curl, torsion and warpage due to temperature change and excellent flexural endurance. By using polyimide film having an average coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.0×10 −5 to 2.5×10 −5 cm/cm/° C. in a temperature range of 100° C. to 200° C. and a stiffness value of 0.4 to 1.2 g/cm as the base film for the flexible printed circuit, a flexible printed circuit having excellent thermal dimensional stability and flexural endurance can be prepared.

Claims (5)

1. A polyimide film for flexible printed circuit, having an average coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.0×10 −5 to 2.5×10 −5 cm/cm/° C. in temperature range of 100° C. to 200° C. and a stiffness value of 0.4 to 1.2 g/cm where the polyimide is obtained from diamine containing 4,4′-oxydianiline and paraphenylenediamine in a mole ratio of 9/1 to 4/6.

2. A flexible printed circuit comprising an adhesive layer and/or a conductor layer and an insulation material, wherein the polyimide film of claim 1 is used as said insulation material.

3. The flexible printed circuit of claim 2 having a number of flexes of at least 10 million times.

4. A flexible printed circuit comprising an adhesive layer and/or a conductor layer and an insulation material, wherein the polyimide film of claim 1 is used as said insulation material.

5. The flexible printed circuit of claim 4 having a number of flexes of at least 10 million times.
