Abstract

A flexible wiring board is provided having a wiring structure which can reduce transmission loss by reducing impedance mismatching even if being folded in a three-dimensional manner. In a flexible wiring board 10 having a characteristic impedance control circuit 20 , the flexible wiring board has a planar projection shape of a folded spot 20 A in the characteristic impedance control circuit after folding in an arc state along a tangent.

Claims (8)

1. A flexible wiring board having a characteristic impedance control circuit, comprising

a planar projection shape of a folded portion in said characteristic impedance control circuit after folding being an arc shape along a tangent of said arc shape,

wherein the folding is completed along the tangent.

2. The flexible wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein

a planar shape of said folded portion before the folding is substantially in an S-shape.

3. The flexible wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein

a reinforcing member or a reinforcing pattern is formed at a side end of a scheduled folded portion in the flexible wiring board so that the characteristic impedance control circuit at the folded portion is not wrinkled by the folding.

4. The flexible wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein said folded portion in said characteristic impedance control circuit overlaps with itself.
