Abstract: A printed wiring board comprises a substrate, a printed wiring circuit formed on the substrate, and insulating layer formed on the printed wiring circuit, an electromagnetic wave shielding layer provided on the insulating layer, and an overcoat layer provided on the electromagnetic shielding layer. The electromagnetic shielding layer has a first color, and the overcoat layer has a second color different from the first color. The color of the overcoat layer may be any color which is easily visually distinguishable from the color of the electromagnetic wave shielding layer so that visual inspection of the working condition of the overcoat layer is facilitated.

Abstract: A printed wiring board includes an insulating substrate having a wiring circuit formed on at least one side thereof. An insulating layer is formed on the wiring circuit and has a plurality of individual curved openings extending therethrough to expose corresponding connection lands of a ground circuit of the wiring circuit. An electromagnetic wave shielding layer is formed on the insulating layer over a portion of the wiring circuit and electrically and mechanically connects with the ground circuit through the connection lands. The curved openings are circular, elliptical or similar shape and dimensioned to prevent formation of bubbles when forming the electromagnetic wave shielding layer thereby enhancing the electrical and mechanical connection between the electromagnetic wave shielding layer and the planar connection land. The curved openings also prevent thinning of the wave shielding layer at the connection lands so as to prevent an increase in connection resistance.

Abstract: A printed wiring board has an electromagnetic wave shielding layer. The printed wiring board includes a printed circuit formed on a substrate. Stratified layers of insulation are formed over the printed circuit. The insulation layers are disposed so as to form a bowl-shaped connection region. A terminal may be formed simultaneously with the forming of the electromagnetic wave shielding layer to provide a connection between the electromagnetic shielding layer and the printed circuit. The bowl-shaped connecting region provides for smoothly filling the terminal with a conductor paste without the occurrence of foaming or blurring during, for example, a silk screening printing process.
