  • Patent number: 11659656
    Abstract: A stretchable wiring board that includes a stretchable substrate having a first main surface with a first region, a second region adjacent the first region, and a third region adjacent the second region; a first stretchable wiring line on the first main surface and extending over the first region; an insulating layer extending over the first region and the second region; and a second stretchable wiring line extending over the first region, the second region, and the third region. When a thickness of the insulating layer is defined as Z2, and when a minimum value of a length of the second region in an extending direction of the second stretchable wiring line in a plan view of the stretchable wiring board is defined as Y, Y>Z2.

  • Patent number: 11659654
    Abstract: A stretchable wiring board that includes: a stretchable substrate; a first wiring line on the stretchable substrate; an insulating layer overlapping a first part of the first wiring line in a plan view of the stretchable wiring board; and a second wiring line overlapping the first part of the first wiring line in the plan view with the insulating layer interposed therebetween. The insulating layer has at least one first notch, and in the plan view, the at least one first notch does not overlap the first wiring line and overlaps the second wiring line.

  • Patent number: 11406011
    Abstract: A stretchable wiring board that includes a stretchable substrate having a first main surface with a first region, a second region adjacent the first region, and a third region adjacent the second region; a first stretchable wiring line on the first main surface and extending over the first region; an insulating layer extending over the first region and the second region; and a second stretchable wiring line extending over the first region, the second region, and the third region. At a position in the first region where the total thickness of the first stretchable wiring line, the insulating layer, and the second stretchable wiring line is the largest, the thicknesses of the first stretchable wiring line, the insulating layer, and the second stretchable wiring line satisfy a predetermined relationship with the thickness of the second stretchable wiring line at a boundary between the second region and the third region.

  • Publication number: 20210400806
    Abstract: An extensible and contractible mounting board that includes an extensible and contractible substrate; an extensible and contractible wiring line on one main surface of the extensible and contractible substrate; an electronic component electrically connected to the extensible and contractible wiring line; and a resin portion in contact with the extensible and contractible wiring line and overlapping an end portion of a connection region between the extensible and contractible wiring line and the electronic component in a plan view of the extensible and contractible mounting board, the resin portion having a cutout portion that overlaps the extensible and contractible wiring line. A Young's modulus of the resin portion is higher than a Young's modulus of the extensible and contractible substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120026115
    Abstract: A character input device according to the present invention includes a control portion. When users' finger or a touch panel operating portion slides on a touch panel with the users' finger or the touch panel operating portion being in contact with the touch panel, one of data items in a data entry image is selected in accordance with the slide movement. After the slide movement, when the users' finger or the touch panel operating portion is moved out of contact with the touch panel, the control portion determines the data entry of one of data items selected in accordance with the slide movement in another data entry image.
