Abstract
A lighting device which can illuminate a large range with a simple configuration, and in which the LEDs or the mounting portions thereof are not likely to be damaged even when vibrations occur as a light source device which uses an LED as a light source, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The present invention includes a deformable flexible circuit board having an insulating film made of thermoplastic resin, a wiring layer formed on the insulating film, and an insulating layer formed on the wiring layer and made of thermoplastic resin, and in which a bent portion with a curvature radius “R” (mm) is formed at at least one position, and a plurality of LEDs mounted on the flexible circuit board.
