  • Patent number: 11889624
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board includes a base film having an insulating property, and one or more interconnects laminated to at least one surface side of the base film. At least one of the one or more interconnects includes, in a longitudinal direction, a first portion and a second portion that is a portion other than the first portion, an average thickness of the second portion being greater than an average thickness of the first portion. A ratio of the average thickness of the second portion to the average thickness of the first portion is greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 50.
