Abstract:
A flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is provided, which includes a dielectric layer. Copper foil layers and cover layers are sequentially provided from inside to outside on both sides of the dielectric layer. The cover layer on one side of the dielectric layer is provided with a reinforced plate. The FPC includes a bending area. The copper foil layer and the cover layer on one side at the bending area and the reinforced plate are each provided with a windowed area  190 . Edges of the copper foil layer, the cover layer, and the reinforced plate that are defined by windowed areas are not in one vertical plane. In the structure, stress concentrations in the bending area are distributed, so that the tearing risk to the edges of the bending area is reduced, and the bending resistance of the flexible circuit board is enhanced.

Claim (Index 1):
A flexible printed circuit board, comprising:\n a dielectric layer, wherein a copper foil layer and a cover layer are sequentially provided from inside to outside on each side of the dielectric layer, and the cover layer on one side of the dielectric layer is provided with a reinforced plate; and a bending area, wherein the copper foil layer and the cover layer on one side at the dielectric layer and the reinforced plate are each provided with a windowed area, and edges of the copper foil layer, the cover layer, and the reinforced plate that define the windowed areas are not in one vertical plane.
