Abstract

A base material extends from a first end to a second end. A first conductive pattern is formed from the first end side to the second end side on a surface of the base material. A second conductive pattern (3.3V) and a second conductive pattern (1.8V) are formed from the first end side to the second end side on the surface of the base material and have a shape that is wider than that of the first conductive pattern. The base material can be bent along a bending line C that crosses the base material at a position between the first end and the second end. A slit that intersects the bending line C and that is shorter than the distance between the first end and the second end is arranged inside the second conductive pattern (3.3V) and the second conductive pattern (1.8V).

Claims (30)

1 . A flexible substrate comprising:

a base material that extends from a first end to a second end;

a first conductive pattern that is formed from the first end side to the second end side on a surface of the base material; and

a second conductive pattern that is formed from the first end side to the second end side on the surface of the base material and that has a shape that is wider than that of the first conductive pattern,

wherein the base material can be bent along a bending line that crosses the base material at a position between the first end and the second end, and

wherein a slit that intersects the bending line and that is shorter than the distance between the first end and the second end is arranged inside the second conductive pattern.

2 . A flexible substrate comprising:

a base material that extends from a first end to a second end;

a first conductive pattern that is formed from the first end side to the second end side on a surface of the base material; and

a second conductive pattern that is formed from the first end side to the second end side on the surface of the base material and that has a shape that is wider than that of the first conductive pattern,

wherein the base material can be bent along a bending line that crosses the base material at a position between the first end and the second end, and

wherein the width of the second conductive pattern is narrow at a part intersecting the bending line.

3 . The flexible substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the base material is curved at a part between the first end and the second end,

wherein the base material has the bending line at the curved part,

wherein the first conductive pattern is curved along the curved shape of the base material, and

wherein the second conductive pattern has a straight line shape in a partial section across the bending line.

4 . The flexible substrate according to claim 2 ,

wherein the base material is curved at a part between the first end and the second end,

wherein the base material has the bending line at the curved part,

wherein the first conductive pattern is curved along the curved shape of the base material, and

wherein the second conductive pattern has a straight line shape in a partial section across the bending line.

5 . An electronic device comprising:

the flexible substrate according to claim 1 ;

the first substrate that is connected to the first end of the flexible substrate; and

the second substrate that is connected to the second end of the flexible substrate.

6 . An electronic device comprising:

the flexible substrate according to claim 2 ;

the first substrate that is connected to the first end of the flexible substrate; and

the second substrate that is connected to the second end of the flexible substrate.
