Patent ID: 8305772

Claim:
A circuit formed on a flexible printed circuit board, the circuit and flexible printed circuit board comprising: a mount layer; a metallization layer; a shielding layer for shielding against electromagnetic interference influences; at least one circuit area; electronic components disposed in said at least one circuit area; at least three different bending areas each having a respective bending axis about which the printed circuit board can be bent; two of said bending axes being parallel to one another and at right angles to a third bending axis; at least two different printed circuit board areas separated from one another by bending areas; said shielding layer extending over said at least two different printed circuit board areas and over said three bending areas; and the printed circuit board being bent through substantially 180 degrees in each of said bending areas for shielding said at least one circuit area with said shielding layer against electromagnetic interference influences in at least four directions substantially at right angles to one another.
