Abstract

A flexible circuit board includes a substrate a, a wiring pattern layer provided on the first surface of the substrate, a plating layer provided on the wiring pattern layer and including an open area, and a protective layer that contacts parts of the wiring pattern layer, the plating layer, and the substrate. The protective layer has a larger thickness than a thickness of the plating layer. The first protective layer includes a first overlapping region in which the plating layer and protective layer are in contact with each and a second overlapping region in which the plating layer and the protective layer are in contact with each other. A width of the first overlapping region may be different from a width of the second overlapping region, and each of the widths of the first and second overlapping regions is larger than a thickness of the plating layer.
