Abstract

A flexible flat cable and a method of manufacturing the flexible flat cable, may include an insulating film forming an external appearance of the flexible flat cable; a conductor disposed inside the insulating film; and an adhesion layer configured to bond the insulating film to the conductor, wherein the adhesion layer contains metal particles, and when a crack occurs in the conductor, the metal particles connect the conductor in which the crack occurs.

Claims (12)

1. A flexible flat cable comprising:

an insulating film forming an external appearance of the flexible flat cable;

a conductor disposed inside the insulating film; and

an adhesion layer configured to bond the insulating film to the conductor,

wherein the adhesion layer contains metal particles, and when a crack occurs in the conductor, the metal particles are configured to connect the conductor in which the crack occurs,

wherein the metal particles include particles of one metal among nickel and cobalt, or particles of an alloy of two metals of nickel and cobalt.

2. The flexible flat cable according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion layer includes:

a first adhesion layer disposed to cover the conductor, and containing the metal particles; and

a second adhesion layer enclosing the first adhesion layer, and configured to bond the insulating film to the conductor.

3. The flexible flat cable according to claim 2 , wherein the first adhesion layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 500 μm.
