In this disclosure, because the width of the middle portion of the first wire groove is the largest, and the width of the opening and the bottom surface of the first wire groove are both smaller, when the flexible circuit board is bent, the first conductive wire 120 is not easy to fall off from the first wire groove, so that the phenomena of circuit breaking and the like of the flexible circuit board in the use process can be avoided, and the service life of the product comprising the flexible circuit board is prolonged.
In the present disclosure, the specific structure of the first conductive trace 120 is not particularly limited, and as an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the first conductive trace 120 includes a first organic conductive layer 121, a first metal conductive layer 122, and a first organic conductive core 123.
