  • Publication number: 20210410280
    Abstract: A wiring board includes a first substrate having stretchability, wiring disposed adjacent to a first surface of the first substrate and extending in a first direction, and a stopper disposed adjacent to the first surface or second surface of the first substrate. While stretch length of the wiring board is being increased in the first direction, electrical resistance of the wiring exhibits a first turning point at a first stretch length and tension applied to the wiring board exhibits a second turning point at a second stretch length smaller than the first stretch length. The first turning point is a point at which an increase in electrical resistance per unit stretch length changes. The second turning point is a point at which an increase in tension per unit stretch length changes.

  • Publication number: 20210385946
    Abstract: A wiring board includes a substrate, wiring, and a reinforcing part. The substrate is stretchable, and includes a first surface and a second surface located opposite to the first surface. The wiring is located at the first surface side of the substrate. The reinforcing part overlaps the wiring when viewed in a direction normal to the first surface of the substrate. The substrate has a control region and a non-control region. The control region overlaps the reinforcing part. The non-control region does not overlap the reinforcing part. The non-control region is positioned to sandwich the control region in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the wiring extends.

  • Publication number: 20210094327
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit, a printing unit, and a heating unit provided on a downstream side with respect to the printing unit in the conveyance direction, and a control unit. The conveyance unit conveys a printing medium along a conveyance direction. The printing unit ejects ink onto the printing medium conveyed by the conveyance unit. The heating unit heats the printing medium on which ink has been ejected by the printing unit while being in contact therewith. The control unit controls the printing apparatus such that a first surface of the printing medium passes through the same heating unit a plurality of times, wherein the first surface includes ink having been ejected by the printing unit onto the first surface.
