Abstract

A flexible printed circuit board includes: a base film that has electrical insulation property; a conductive pattern that is formed on the base film and including a pair of differential signal lines and a ground line; an insulating layer that is formed on the conductive pattern; a conductive layer that is formed on the insulating layer; and a connecting portion that electrically connects the ground line and the conductive layer through a penetration hole formed on the insulating layer.

Claims (24)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a case; and

a flexible printed circuit board disposed in the case, the flexible printed circuit board comprising:

a base film comprising an electrical insulating property;

a conductive pattern made of a first metal material including a copper component, the conductive pattern being disposed on the base film wherein the conductive pattern comprises a pair of differential signal lines and a ground line;

an insulating layer formed on the conductive pattern;

a conductive layer formed on the insulating layer, wherein the conductive layer is made of a second metal material that includes a silver paste; and

an electrical connector between the ground line and the conductive layer through a penetration hole formed in the insulating layer, wherein the electrical connector is made of the second metal material.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer and the electrical connector are made of conductive silver paste.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive pattern is formed by etching a copper film.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second metal material comprises a binder resin and conductive particles dispersed in the binder resin, and
