A flexible printed circuit includes: a flexible substrate extending from a first end section to a second end section, and having an opening or a notch in proximity to the first end section; a first wiring layer extending from the first end section to the second end section so as to avoid the opening or the notch; a second wiring layer extending from the first end section to the second end section so as to block the opening or the notch; a first conductive member being formed opposed to the flexible substrate in relation to the first wiring layer and at least in proximity to the first end section in a region opposed to the first wiring layer, and being electrically connected to the first wiring layer; and a second conductive member electrically connected to the second wiring layer via the opening or the notch.

Flexible printed circuit, touch panel, display panel and display

A flexible printed circuit includes: a first wiring layer and a second wiring layer being in contact with one surface of a flexible substrate, a third wiring layer and a fourth wiring layer on the other surface of the flexible substrate, a first conductive member being formed on surfaces in proximity to a through hole of the second wiring layer and the fourth wiring layer; a second conductive member being formed on surfaces in proximity to the first end section of the first wiring layer and the third wiring layer; and an insulating layer being formed in a space between the first wiring layer and the second conductive member, and the second wiring layer and the first conductive member and a space between the third wiring layer and the second conductive member, and the fourth wiring layer and the first conductive member.

A touch panel capable of decreasing concavity and convexity generated on the surface and a display unit including the same are provided. The touch panel includes: a first spacer layer on both side faces of a first wiring layer provided on a first transparent substrate; and a second wiring layer on both side faces of a second wiring layer provided on a second transparent substrate. The touch panel also includes a flexible printed circuit board in a gap between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate and in a region including at least part of a region not provided with the adhesion layer in the region opposed to the first wiring layer, the second wiring layer, the first spacer layer, and the second spacer layer.
