Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0039] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flexible circuit board includes a flexible circuit board body 11 and an electromagnetic wave shielding film 12. The electromagnetic wave shielding film 12 includes a protective layer 121, an electromagnetic absorption layer 122 and an electromagnetic receiving layer 123. The electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is bonded to the flexible circuit board body 11, the electromagnetic absorption layer 122 is bonded to the upper side of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123, the protective layer 121 is bonded to the upper side of the electromagnetic absorption layer 122, the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is used to receive the electromagnetic signal radiated by the line on the flexible circuit board, and the electromagnetic absorption layer 122 absorbs and derives the electromagnetic signal received by the electromagnetic receiving layer 123.

[0040] In the above-mentioned flexible circuit board, the electromagnetic signal radiated by the circuit of the flexible circuit board body 11 is first received by the electromagnetic receiving layer 123, and then the electromagnetic signal received by the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is absorbed by the electromagnetic absorption layer 122, and the electromagnetic signal is exported so that the electromagnetic signal can flow back to the ground for absorption, thereby making the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12 have a better shielding effect on electromagnetic waves; in this way, a stronger electromagnetic shielding effect can be achieved through the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12, so that the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12 can still ensure the absorption effect of the electromagnetic signal radiated by the circuit of the flexible circuit board body 11 after reducing the thickness, which is conducive to the production of a thinner and more stable flexible circuit board, thereby achieving a thinner and more lightweight flexible circuit board while ensuring good performance.

[0041] It is understandable that the better the flexibility of the flexible circuit board, the easier it is to bend and the less likely it is to crack or break, which is beneficial to increasing the service life of the flexible circuit board.

[0042] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the protective layer 121 is a transfer film to protect the entire flexible circuit board, for example, from being waterproof and moisture-proof, and the thickness of the protective layer 121 is greater than 45um and less than 55um; specifically, the thickness of the transfer film is 50um, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12, thereby improving the flexibility of the flexible circuit board.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electromagnetic absorption layer 122 includes a copper absorption layer 1221 and an insulating layer 1222. The copper absorption layer 1221 is arranged on the upper side of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 to absorb and conduct electromagnetic signals. The insulating layer 1222 is arranged on the upper side of the copper absorption layer 1221 and the lower side of the protective layer 121 to isolate electromagnetic signals. The thickness of the copper absorption layer 1221 is greater than 1um and less than 3um, so as to reduce the thickness of the copper absorption layer 1221 while ensuring that the tube absorption layer has good absorption of electromagnetic signals. The thickness of the insulating layer 1222 is greater than 4um and less than 8um, so as to reduce the thickness of the insulating layer 1222 while ensuring that the insulating layer 1222 isolates electromagnetic signals.

[0044] Specifically, the thickness of the insulating layer 1222 is 6 um, and the thickness of the copper absorption layer 1221 is 2 um.

[0045] In some embodiments, the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer for receiving interference signals radiated from the line. The thickness of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is greater than 7um and less than 12um, so as to reduce the thickness of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 while ensuring the effect of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123.

[0046] Specifically, the thickness of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123 is 9 um.

[0047] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the flexible circuit board body 11 includes a first substrate layer 111, the first substrate layer 111 is disposed on the lower side of the electromagnetic receiving layer 123, the first substrate layer 111 includes a first substrate body 1111, a first upper conductive plating layer 1112 and a first covering layer 1113, the first upper conductive plating layer 1112 is electroplated on the upper side of the first substrate body 1111, the first lower conductive plating layer 1113 is electroplated on the lower side of the first substrate body 1111, and the first covering layer 1113 is bonded to the upper side of the first upper conductive plating layer 1112;

[0048] The flexible circuit board body 11 also includes a second substrate layer 112, which is bonded to the lower side of the first substrate layer 111. The second substrate layer 112 includes a second substrate body 1121, a second conductive coating 1122 and a second covering layer 1123. The second substrate body 1121 is bonded to the lower side of the first lower conductive coating 1113, the second conductive coating 1122 is electroplated on the lower side of the second substrate body 1121, and the second covering layer 1123 is bonded to the lower side of the second conductive coating 1122.

[0049] In this way, a double-layer flexible circuit board is formed by the first substrate layer 111 and the second substrate layer 112 and a three-layer circuit layout can be realized, so that the circuit layout is more flexible, thereby realizing interconnection between various types of circuits, and the circuit layout is more compact, and a higher density circuit layout can be realized.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first substrate layer 111 and the second substrate layer 112 are bonded together by adhesive.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 are all formed of copper plating material. Copper plating has good conductivity and low cost, so as to improve the conductive stability of the flexible circuit board.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 are all grid structures; further, the mesh size of one or more of the grids in the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 is set to 0.1mm*0.6mm, that is, the mesh is a rectangular structure, the length of the mesh is 0.6mm, and the width of the mesh is 0.1mm.

[0053] In this way, by setting the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 as a grid structure, the flexible circuit board can be bent more easily, thereby reducing the risk of the flexible circuit board being cracked or broken. At the same time, by designing the mesh size of the grid of any one, any two or all of the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 to a larger size of 0.1mm*0.6mm, the flexibility of the flexible circuit board can be further improved, thereby further reducing the risk of the flexible circuit board being cracked or broken.

[0054] The working principle of the above-mentioned flexible circuit board is roughly as follows:

[0055] By improving the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12, the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12 can achieve a stronger electromagnetic shielding effect, so that the electromagnetic wave shielding film 12 can still ensure the absorption effect of the electromagnetic signal radiated by the circuit of the flexible circuit board body 11 after reducing the thickness, thereby improving the flexibility of the flexible circuit board;

[0056] By further optimizing the thickness of the flexible circuit board body 11, the bending resistance of the flexible circuit board is reduced, and the flexibility of the flexible circuit board is further improved;

[0057] Finally, by designing the mesh size of any one, any two or all of the first upper conductive coating 1112, the first lower conductive coating 1113 and the second conductive coating 1122 to be larger 0.1mm*0.6mm, the flexibility of the flexible circuit board is further improved, thereby reducing the risk of cracking or breaking of the flexible circuit board.

[0058] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present disclosure, which should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
