Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board, especially a six layer rigid-flex board. BACKGROUND
[0002] The basic feature of flexible electronics is to integrate various electronic components on a flexible substrate, thereby forming a skin-like flexible circuit board, which has high flexibility and elasticity like skin.
