Abstract
The disclosure is directed to flexible boards, electrooptic devices having flexible boards, and electronic devices. In one example, wires are disposed longitudinally along the length of a flexible board. Terminals are arranged laterally across the width of the flexible board near an end of the flexible board, the terminals being electrically connected to the wires. Plating lead wires are electrically connected to the terminals and extend longitudinally from the terminals to a lateral edge of the flexible board. The width of the plating lead wires is less than the width of the wires. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of the terminals are alternatingly displaced on the flexible board in a staggered manner. This abstract is intended only to aid those searching patents, and is not intended to be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims in any manner.
