Patent ID: 8530747

Claim:
A portable terminal, comprising: a first body; a second body configured to move with respect to the first body to be foldably connected thereto; and a flexible printed circuit board configured to electrically connect the first body and the second body, wherein the flexible printed circuit board comprises: a first flexible printed circuit board in which a first circuit pattern is formed on one surface thereof and a second circuit pattern is formed on the other surface thereof; a second flexible printed circuit board layered on the first flexible printed circuit board, in which a third circuit pattern is formed on one surface thereof and a fourth circuit pattern is formed on the other surface thereof; a folding portion formed at either one end portion of a layered body of the first flexible printed circuit board and second flexible printed circuit board to connect the first flexible printed circuit board and the second flexible printed circuit board in a folding shape; and an adhesive layer coated between the first flexible printed circuit board and the second flexible printed circuit board, wherein an attached region for attaching a connector is formed on at least one of the first and second flexible printed circuit boards, and is located nearby the folding portion, wherein a first conductive via hole or through hole is formed on the first flexible printed circuit board and a second conductive via hole or through hole is formed on the second flexible printed circuit board, and each of the first and second conductive via holes or through holes is touched by each other to form an electrically conductive connection, and wherein the adhesive layer is excluded from a surrounding of the first and second conductive via holes or through holes in the respective first and second flexible printed circuit boards to electrically connect the first flexible printed circuit board to the second flexible printed circuit board.
