Abstract

A circuit substrate (10) comprises a first substrate split (11) formed with a predetermined wiring pattern (16) and a second substrate split (12) formed with a predetermined wiring pattern (17). The substrate splits are electrically and/or mechanically joined together, and the circuit substrate is bent at the joint. The joint is provided by a bendable joint member (13) including a plurality of leads (14) disposed in parallel and held by a thin piece of base film (20) integrally therewith. The joint member is attached to interconnect the first and the second substrate splits (11, 12).
