Abstract

A lead member includes a plurality of conductors arranged in parallel and an insulating film fixing the conductors at a predetermined pitch. Each conductor includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a flat portion extending between the first and second end portions. The flat portion is located on a plane different from a plane on which the first end portion and the second end portion lie. The flat portion may be formed by bending the lead member along a bent line such that the bent line is kept straight. Preferably, each conductor includes a narrow portion and a wide portion, wherein a width of each conductor along the bent line is greater than half of the pitch between adjacent conductors.
