Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a flexible printed circuit board that includes a component mounting section for mounting an electronic component and a plurality of flexible cables extending in different directions from the component mounting section and extending in different directions from one another, comprising: manufacturing a plurality of partial flexible printed circuit boards in a predetermined sheet, each of the partial flexible printed circuit board including a partial component mounting section formed by dividing the component mounting section into a predetermined number of parts and a flexible cable extending from the partial component mounting section, the flexible cable being one of the plurality of flexible cables; cutting an area including the partial flexible printed circuit board from the sheet; after cutting the area from the sheet, performing an alignment of the predetermined number of partial flexible printed circuit boards such that the predetermined number of partial component mounting sections are combined to configure the component mounting section for mounting an electronic component; and after the alignment, fixing the predetermined number of aligned partial flexible printed circuit boards to a flexible support plate such that the predetermined number of aligned partial flexible printed circuit boards are arranged adjacent to each other.
