Abstract

A wiring circuit board assembly sheet includes a wiring circuit board including a conductive pattern and a frame including a dummy conductive pattern. The frame includes a dummy formation region. The dummy formation region includes the dummy conductive pattern. The dummy formation region has a width of 5 mm from an edge of the wiring circuit board and a length identical to that of the wiring circuit board in a direction in which the edge extends. The difference between the percentage of the area of the conductive pattern to the area of the insulating base layer and the percentage of the area of the dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 50% or less.

Claims (17)

1 . A wiring circuit board assembly sheet comprising:

a wiring circuit board including an insulating layer and a conductive pattern located on the insulating layer;

a frame supporting the wiring circuit board and including a dummy conductive pattern made of a material identical to a material of which the conductive pattern is made; and

a notch extending along an outer shape of the wiring circuit board, and defining the wiring circuit board and the frame,

wherein the wiring circuit board includes a first edge located away from the dummy conductive pattern and a second edge located between the first edge and the dummy conductive pattern,

wherein the frame includes a dummy formation region including the dummy conductive pattern, having a width of 5 mm from the second edge in a direction orthogonal to the second edge, having a length identical to a length of the wiring circuit board in a direction in which the second edge extends, and overlapping the notch, and

wherein a difference between a percentage of an area of the conductive pattern to an area of the insulating layer and a percentage of an area of the dummy conductive pattern to an area of the dummy formation region is 50% or less.

2 . The wiring circuit board assembly sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the difference between the percentage of the area of the conductive pattern to the area of the insulating layer and the percentage of the area of the dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 30% or less.

3 . The wiring circuit board assembly sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the conductive pattern includes a first conductive pattern with a first thickness and a second conductive pattern with a second thickness larger than the first thickness, and

wherein the dummy conductive pattern includes a first dummy conductive pattern with the first thickness and a second dummy conductive pattern with the second thickness.

4 . The wiring circuit board assembly sheet according to claim 3 ,

wherein a difference between a percentage of an area of the first conductive pattern to the area of the insulating layer and a percentage of an area of the first dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 50% or less, and

wherein a difference between a percentage of an area of the second conductive pattern to the area of the insulating layer and a percentage of an area of the second dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 50% or less.

5 . The wiring circuit board assembly sheet according to claim 3 ,

wherein a difference between a percentage of an area of the first conductive pattern to the area of the insulating layer and a percentage of an area of the first dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 30% or less, and

wherein a difference between a percentage of an area of the second conductive pattern to the area of the insulating layer and a percentage of an area of the second dummy conductive pattern to the area of the dummy formation region is 30% or less.
