Abstract
An opto-electric hybrid module is provided, which is excellent in bending resistance and optical element mountability. In the opto-electric hybrid module, a light-path core of an optical waveguide is provided on a surface of an under-cladding layer, and non-light-path dummy cores are provided on opposite sides of the light-path core in spaced relation to the light-path core as projecting from the surface of the under-cladding layer. An electric circuit having mounting pads is provided on top surfaces of the dummy cores. An over-cladding layer is provided on side surfaces and a top surface of the light-path core, and projects to cover the core. The non-light-path dummy cores each have an elastic modulus that is set higher than the elastic modulus of the under-cladding layer and the elastic modulus of the over-cladding layer. The optical element is mounted on the mounting pads, and positioned above the projecting over-cladding layer.
