Abstract:
1. A reinforced flexible printed circuit board, comprising: a conductive portion, including a first metallic wire layer having a plurality of conductive metallic wires and two first insulation layers, the metallic wires being substantially completely covered by the first insulation layers, and each of the metallic wires being completely separate from the others; and a connection portion, including a second metallic wire layer having a plurality of conductive metallic wires, two second insulation layers and a reinforcement board, wherein the reinforcement board includes a hand-grip portion, each of the metallic wires of the second metallic wire layer is completely separate from the others and partly covered by the second insulation layers so that ends of the metallic wires of the second metallic wire layer are exposed, and the metallic wires of the second metallic wire layer correspond wit the metallic wires of the first metallic wire layer; and a plurality of copper-covered areas provided in the vicinity of where the reinforcement board is attached to the second insulation layer, the copper-covered areas configured for helping prevent the reinforced flexible printed circuit board from being broken, wherein the reinforcement board is attached to one of the second insulation layers, and the hand-grip portion is positioned at one end of the reinforcement board so that mechanical strength of the metallic wires of the second metallic wire layer is enhanced.
