Abstract

A flexible circuit board includes a base material including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the base material including a conductor layer, a first insulating film covering the first surface of the base material and formed with a first opening, a first insulating member formed inside the first opening and formed with a connection port to expose the conductor layer, the first insulating member having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the first insulating film, a second insulating film covering the second surface of the base material and formed with a second opening overlapping at least a portion of the first opening in a plan view, and a second insulating member formed inside the second opening and having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the first insulating film.

Claims (15)

1. A flexible circuit board comprising:

a base material including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the base material including a conductor layer;

a first insulating film covering the first surface of the base material and formed with a first opening;

a first insulating member formed inside the first opening and formed with a connection port to expose the conductor layer, the first insulating member having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the first insulating film;

a second insulating film covering the second surface of the base material and formed with a second opening overlapping at least a portion of the first opening in a plan view; and

a second insulating member formed inside the second opening and having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the first insulating film.

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

an area of the second opening is the same as that of the first opening.

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

a material of the second insulating member is the same as that of the first insulating member.

4. The flexible circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein

an electronic component electrically connected to the conductor layer through the connection port is mounted on the first insulating member.

5. The flexible circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein

an electronic component is not mounted on the second insulating member.

6. A display device comprising the flexible circuit board according to claim 1 .
