  • Publication number: 20240244742
    Abstract: A wiring circuit board includes a support metal layer; a base insulating layer disposed on at least one surface in the thickness direction of the support metal layer, and a wiring layer disposed on one surface in the thickness direction of the base insulating layer. A plurality of stripe grooves that extends along a predetermined direction orthogonal to the thickness direction and a plurality of recesses that sinks in the thickness direction of the support metal layer are formed on one surface in the thickness direction and/or the other surface in the thickness direction of the support metal layer. The recesses form a two-dimensional code having a generally rectangular shape in plan view by means of a dot pattern. One side of the two-dimensional code is disposed so as to lie along the stripe grooves.

  • Publication number: 20240244756
    Abstract: An assembly sheet includes a supporting portion, a plurality of wiring circuit boards, and a joint portion. The supporting portion supports the plurality of wiring circuit boards. The supporting portion surrounds the plurality of wiring circuit boards while being separated from the plurality of wiring circuit boards by an interval. The joint portion joins the plurality of wiring circuit boards to the supporting portion. The plurality of wiring circuit boards includes a first wiring circuit board and a second wiring circuit board. The second wiring circuit board is arranged next to the first wiring circuit board while being separated from the first wiring circuit board by an interval. The second wiring circuit board is symmetrical to the first wiring circuit board with respect to a point centered therebetween. The supporting portion includes a first and second mark. The second mark is asymmetrical to the first with respect to the point.

  • Publication number: 20240107679
    Abstract: An assembly sheet includes a plurality of wiring circuit boards, a support portion, a connecting portion, and an opening portion. The wiring circuit board includes a first and a second wiring circuit board. The connecting portion includes a first and a second connecting portion connected to the first and the second wiring circuit board, respectively. The support portion and the connecting portion are not disposed between the first and the second wiring circuit board. The first wiring circuit board includes a first main body portion and a first protrusion portion. The second wiring circuit board includes a second main body portion. A first line passing a center of the first main body portion and a second line passing the center of the second main body portion are deviated so that a protrusion amount of the first protrusion portion with respect to the second main body portion is small.

  • Publication number: 20230007783
    Abstract: A method for producing a wiring circuit board includes first forming a base insulating layer, and second forming a first wiring and a second wiring having different thicknesses from each other in order. The second step includes, in order, forming a seed film, forming a first resist in a reversed pattern of the first wiring on one surface in a thickness direction of the seed film, forming the first wiring on one surface in the thickness direction of the seed film by plating, removing the first resist, of forming a second resist in a reversed pattern of the second wiring on one surface in the thickness direction of the seed film to cover the first wiring, forming the second wiring on one surface in the thickness direction of the seed film by plating, removing the second resist, and removing the seed film.

  • Publication number: 20230007785
    Abstract: A method for producing a wiring circuit board includes a first step, a second step, and a third step. In the first step, while a work film which is a long metal substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface is fed and wound by a roll-to-roll method, a composition containing a photosensitive resin is applied onto the first surface to form an insulating film, and a protective film is interposed between the second surface and the insulating film of the work film in being wound. In the second step, while the work film having undergone the first step is fed and wound by the roll-to-roll method, the protective film is peeled from the insulating film, and the insulating film is subjected to light exposure treatment to be formed with a latent image pattern. In a third step, the insulating film having undergone the second step is subjected to development treatment to be patterned.
