Abstract

The present invention provides a flexible circuit board with a heat dissipation layer on which bending processing can be carried out easily, while achieving its slimming down, and which can maintain the flatness of the heat dissipation layer. The flexible circuit board, at least, has a wiring layer 3 a adapted to be electrically connected to a circuit element, an insulating layer 2 , and a heat dissipation layer 3 b , and which is characterized in that said wiring layer 3 a is formed of a copper foil which has a tensile strength of 250 MPa or less and a thickness of 50 μm or less, and said heat dissipation layer is formed of a copper foil which has a tensile strength of 400 MPa or more and a thickness of 70 μm or more.

Claims (9)

1. A flexible circuit board which at least has a wiring layer adapted to be electrically connected to a circuit element, an insulating layer, and a heat dissipation layer, wherein

said wiring layer is formed of a copper foil which has a tensile strength of 250 MPa or less and a thickness of 50 μm or less; and

said heat dissipation layer is formed of a copper foil which has a tensile strength of 400 MPa or more and a thickness of 70 μm or more, and is subjected to bending processing.

2. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said heat dissipation layer is formed of a copper foil having a thickness of 250 μm or less.

3. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said heat dissipation layer has a first region in which said wiring layer or said insulating layer is laminated, and a second region which extends from said first region and in which said wiring layer and said insulating layer are not laminated, wherein said second region is used as a heat sink region.

4. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the fins are provided in said heat sink region, said fins being formed by making mountain folds and valley folds.

5. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said heat dissipation layer has a first region in which said wiring layer or said insulating layer is laminated, and a second region which extends from said first region and in which said wiring layer and said insulating layer are not laminated, wherein said second region is used as a heat sink region.

6. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the fins are provided in said heat sink region, said fins being formed by making mountain folds and valley folds.

7. The flexible circuit board as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the fins are provided in said heat sink region, said fins being formed by making mountain folds and valley folds.
