Abstract

[Object]To provide a flexible printed board improved in bendability. [Means for solving]The flexible printed board 2 comprises: an insulating substrate 21 ; a circuit wiring 22 laid on the insulating substrate 21 ; a circuit protection layer 23 laid on the circuit wiring 22 ; a shield conductive layer 24 laid on the circuit protection layer 23 ; and a shield insulating layer 25 laid on the shield conductive layer 24 , and is characterized by meeting the following Expression (1). 0.75 ≦E 2 /E 1 ≦1.29  Expression (1) Note that E 1 denotes the tensile elastic modulus of the shield conductive layer 24 and E 2 denotes the tensile elastic modulus of the shield insulating layer 25.
