Abstract
Disclosed is a tear protection structure for a flexible circuit board. In an extension section of a flexible circuit board, at least a slit line is formed. The slit line has at least a terminal end from which a stress-diverting cut segment extends. The stress-diverting cut segment is formed by cutting in a cutting direction that defines an angle with respect to an extension direction of the extension section to serve as the tear protection structure of the flexible circuit board. The extension section of the flexible circuit board is foldable along the slit line. The stress-diverting cut segment may further include a tear protection hole formed in a termination end thereof.
