Abstract

Abstract Outer surface of a printed circuit board having circuit conductors on one or both surfaces may be covered by shield film or layer to shield outer noise from reaching the circuit conductors. To shield cross talk and noise from reaching each other, all electrically exposed surfaces of the circuit conductors are covered also by shield film.
