  • Patent number: 8760815
    Abstract: The wired circuit board includes a metal supporting board, a metal foil formed on the metal supporting board, a first insulating layer formed on the metal supporting board so as to cover the metal foil, and a conductive pattern formed on the first insulating layer and having a plurality of wires. The metal foil is arranged along a lengthwise direction of each of the wires so as not to be opposed to part of the wires in a thickness direction and so as to be opposed to a remainder of the wires in the thickness direction.

  • Patent number: 8105644
    Abstract: A screen plate having a plurality of openings is placed on a suspension substrate in which a plurality of conductive pads are formed. Conductive paste is moved in one direction on an upper surface of the screen plate, so that the conductive paste is applied onto the conductive pads through the openings. A recess that is inwardly bent is formed in each of the openings of the screen plate.

  • Patent number: 7908965
    Abstract: A plurality of through holes having an equal size are formed in an underlay substrate. Positions of the plurality of through holes are suitably set according to the shape of a substrate sheet. Specifically, an equal number of through holes are formed in each of end blank corresponding regions that, when the substrate sheet and the underlay substrate are overlapped with each other, overlap with end blank regions of the substrate sheet, of the underlay substrate. In addition, the through holes are formed at equal spacing in portions excluding the end blank corresponding regions in a blank corresponding region, which overlaps with a blank region of the substrate sheet, of the underlay substrate.
