Abstract
An opto-electric hybrid board includes: an electric circuit board including electrical interconnect lines formed on the front surface of an insulation layer; a metal reinforcement layer formed partially on the back surface of the electric circuit board; an optical waveguide W configured to partially overlap the back surface of the electric circuit board E; and an second reinforcement layer formed on the back surface of the electric circuit board E. The second reinforcement layer allows the opto-electric hybrid board to have improved rigidity in a specific region and excellent handleability without incurring optical losses during optical coupling.
