Patent ID: 7696441

Claim:
A flexible wired circuit board comprising: a first wired circuit board portion having at one end a first terminal portion; a second wired circuit board portion having a second terminal portion; and a connecting portion for the first wired circuit board portion and the second wired circuit board portion, wherein: the first wired circuit board portion, the second wired circuit board portion, and the connecting portion comprise: a conductive pattern of metal, including the first terminal portion, the second terminal portion, and a wiring that connects between the first terminal portion and the second terminal portion, and an insulating base layer and an insulating cover layer for sandwiching the conductive pattern, the first terminal portion has an upper surface only exposed from a first opening in the insulating cover layer, the second terminal portion has a lower surface only exposed from a second opening in the insulating base layer, the first wired circuit board portion and the second wired circuit board portion are disposed adjacent to each other at one side of the connecting portion, and the first wired circuit board portion is folded only a single time over the other end thereof with respect to the connecting portion, such that the first terminal portion exposed through the first opening in the insulating cover layer and the second terminal portion exposed through the second opening in the insulating base layer are exposed on a same side of the flexible wired circuit board after the first wired circuit board portion is folded only once, when the flexible wired circuit board is in a final, operative state.
