Abstract
[Problem] To allow an efficient sheet layout of a flexible printed circuit board having a plurality of cable sections extending in different directions and to improve a yield. [Solution] A method of manufacturing a flexible printed circuit board that includes a component mounting section () having lands (), a plurality of flexible cable sections () having wirings and extending in different directions from the component mounting section (), and a connection section () having terminals () connected with the land () through the wiring, the method including manufacturing partial FPCs in a sheet in a unit of a partial FPC that includes a partial component mounting section (A) that is a part of the component mounting section, a cable section () extending from the partial component mounting section (A), and a connection section () disposed in the cable section (), cutting out the partial FPC (A) from the sheet, performing an alignment using alignment targets () of the partial FPC (A) and a support plate () so that the partial component mounting sections (A) of respective partial FPCs (A) configure the component mounting section (), and fixing the partial FPCs (A) onto the support plate.
