Abstract

A printed circuit board is provided. The printed circuit board includes a substrate, an electrically conductive pattern layer, and a thermally conductive ink layer. The substrate includes a first surface. The electrically conductive pattern layer is located on the first surface and includes a contact portion and a wire portion. The thermally conductive ink layer covers the wire portion and exposes the contact portion. The thermally conductive ink layer includes a thermally conductive powder and a colloidal adhesive, where a weight percentage of the thermally conductive powder is less than 10%, and a weight percentage of the colloidal adhesive is higher than 80%. An electronic device including the printed circuit board is further provided.
