[0021] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 A flexible circuit board that is easy to tear and bend, comprising a rectangular flexible board body 1, the flexible board body 1 comprising a lower insulating film layer 100, a circuit layer 101 laminated and fixed on the insulating film layer, and an upper insulating film layer 102 laminated and fixed on the circuit layer 101, and a plurality of component welding positions are regularly arranged on the upper surface of the upper insulating film layer 102, which can be used for welding electronic components such as lamp beads 107; a plurality of arc-shaped through hole groups 103 are arranged side by side on the flexible board body 1 by a device at one time, and each arc-shaped through hole group 103 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped through holes 104 arranged in sequence, and each arc-shaped through hole group 104 is formed by a plurality of arc-shaped through holes 104 arranged in sequence. A through slot 105 is cut by a device between two adjacent arc-shaped through holes 104 in the arc-shaped through hole group 103. Each through slot 105 penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the flexible board body 1. Both ends of each through slot 105 are connected to the adjacent arc-shaped through hole 104. A connection point 106 is formed on the flexible board body 1 in the middle of each through slot 105. The width and thickness of the connection point 106 are very small, similar to a thin line, and it is easy to be torn manually. The entire large flexible board body 1 has been divided into a plurality of long thin plates 109 that can be torn manually by the arc-shaped through hole group 103 and the through slot 105 located on the same center line. When in use, just grab one end of the flexible board body 1 with your hand and pull it slightly to tear each connection point 106, thereby obtaining an independent long small flexible circuit board. Because the connection point 106 is roughly located at the center line of the arc-shaped through hole 104, there will be arc grooves on both sides of the independent long strip of small flexible circuit board. Because of the arc grooves, the small flexible circuit board is easier to bend into an S shape or other shapes, and can also be more conveniently wrapped and installed on the surfaces of various different products, with good applicability.

[0022] In some embodiments, the upper insulating film layer 102 and the lower insulating film layer 100 are polyimide films. Polyimide, referred to as PI, is one of the organic polymer materials with the best comprehensive performance. It is resistant to high temperatures of more than 400°C and has a long-term use temperature range of -200 to 300°C. It has no obvious melting point and high insulation performance. The dielectric constant is 4.0 at 103 Hz and the dielectric loss is only 0.004 to 0.007. It belongs to F to H grade insulating materials. The upper and lower end surfaces of the circuit layer 101 are bonded to the upper insulating film layer 102 and the lower insulating film layer 100 by an adhesive layer 108. The production is convenient and the efficiency is high. The glue can be a polyurethane potting glue or a silicone potting glue.

[0023] In some embodiments, the width of the arc-shaped through hole 104 is 0.2 to 0.5 cm, and the length is 0.9 to 1.3 cm. The through groove 105 is a straight groove with a width of 0.01 to 0.05 mm. This structure divides the flexible board body 1 into a plurality of long thin plates 109 that can be torn apart manually. Each long thin plate 109 is connected only by a plurality of connection points 106 on the same straight line, and can be easily separated after being torn apart manually.

[0024] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
