Wiring board, input device using the same wiring board and method of manufacturing the same input device
First Claim
1. A wiring board comprising:
- first and second electrodes provided on one principal surface of the wiring board;
first and second connection patterns coupled respectively to the first and second electrodes at one end;
first and second connectors coupled to an other end of the first and second connection patterns;
a connector disposed region in which the first and second connectors are disposed;
a concave portion provided in the connector disposed region and initially having no member of the wiring board therein,a portion of the wiring board being bent so as to form a bending portion between the connector disposed region and at least one electrode of the first and second electrodes.

Abstract
A wiring board used for various electronic apparatuses, an input device such as an optically transparent touch panel using the wiring board, and a method of manufacturing the input device. A plurality of electrodes provided at the side of one end of one principal surface of wiring board, wiring patterns coupled to electrodes, and a connector disposed region provided at the side of the other end of wiring board are provided. In this connector disposed region, connectors are disposed. In substantially the central portion of the connector disposed region, a concave portion is provided and in the vicinity of connectors, a bending portion is disposed. Furthermore, a cut portion is disposed between or in the vicinity of the plurality of connectors. The wiring board may thereby be manufactured with all conductive portions on one side and then, by bending. some connectors maybe be positioned on the other side.
