Abstract
A flexible printed circuit includes a first insulating substrate layer and a first electrically conductive layer located adjacent to a first side of the insulating substrate layer. The first conductive layer has a first portion that is substantially solid and a second portion having a multiplicity of voids in the first conductive layer in a pattern for providing a lower stiffness in the second portion relative to the first portion, thereby providing more flexibility in the second portion relative to the first portion.
