Abstract

Abstract A component mounting circuit board (30) comprises a flexible member (31) having a plurality of component mounting portions (32A to 32D, 33A to 33D) and a plurality of foldable portions (34A to 34C) in alternating relation along a given direction of the flexible member (31). Pre-determined electronic components (35A to 35D, 36A to 36D) are mounted on at least one side of the flexible member (31) at the component mounting portions (32a to 32D, 33A to 33A). The flexible member 31 is folded at the foldable portions (34A to 34C) to superpose the component mounting portions are above another in a plurality of layers. The flexible member may have a plurality of extension portions extending from the component mounting portions, shield patterns can be formed on the extension portions, and the extension portions can be folded even so as to shield the electronic components.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
A component mounting circuit board (20, 30) comprising: a flexible member (21, 31) having a plurality of component mounting portions (22A to 22D, 32A to 32D, 33A to 33D) and a plurality of foldable portions (23A to 23C, 34A to 34C) in alternating relation along a given direction of the flexible member; and electronic components (34A to 24D, 35A to 35D, 36A to 36D) mounted on at least one side of the flexible member at the component mounting portions; the flexible member (31) being folded at the foldable portions (23A to 23C, 34A to 34C) to superpose one of the component mounting portions above at least one other of the component mounting portions in a plurality of layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 29 words
