Abstract
Disclosed is an inexpensive structure for mounting a flexible printed circuit board to a hard circuit board without using a connector. The terminal section of the flexible printed circuit board is mounted to a holding member, which is secured to the hard circuit board to electrically connect the wiring pattern of the terminal section to the electric circuit of the hard circuit board, whereby it is possible to mount the flexible printed circuit board to the hard circuit board without using an expensive connector, thereby achieving an improvement in terms of cost and operability.
