Abstract: A method for manufacturing a flexible printed circuit board includes preliminarily thermally deforming s substrate through heating, forming a circuit pattern with a conductive paste on the preliminarily thermally deformed substrate, and firing the circuit pattern. A flexible printed circuit board includes a substrate, and a circuit pattern formed by firing a conductive paste on a first surface of the substrate. The substrate is preliminarily thermally deformed and, thus, a shrinkage variation thereof before and after firing the conductive paste is zero. Dimensional stability when firing the circuit pattern printed with the conductive paste can be ensured, deterioration of adhesion between the circuit pattern and the substrate attributable to film deformation upon firing can be prevented, and stable adhesion of the circuit pattern can be maintained even after firing.

Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board includes a substrate, a circuit pattern formed on the substrate, and a protective coating layer formed on the substrate by applying and curing a coating solution to cover and protect the circuit pattern. A method for manufacturing forming a circuit pattern on a substrate and forming a protective coating layer for covering and protecting the circuit pattern by applying a coating solution on the substrate. The circuit pattern may be securely attached to the substrate, and damage and deformation of the circuit pattern due to repeated bending or warping of the substrate may be prevented, ultimately improving operational reliability.
