Abstract
The invention relates to a printed circuit board (30) which has at least one electrical conduction level (EL) for relaying electrical signals and/or currents and at least one optical conduction level (OL) for relaying optical signals. Said conduction levels (EL, OL) are placed on top of each other in a stack inside the printed circuit board (30) and are interconnected. The aim of the invention is to provide a particularly flexible and simple construction and a simplified production method. To this end, the optical conduction level (OL) comprises at least one thin glass layer (11) as a conductor element.
