FLEXIBLE CABLE AND MEDIUM PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

A flexible cable may include a data signal layer; a first disconnection detecting signal layer covering a front face of the data signal layer and formed with a disconnection detecting signal pattern; and a second disconnection detecting signal layer covering a rear face of the data signal layer and formed with a disconnection detecting signal pattern. The flexible cable may be formed in a multilayer structure. A shield pattern may be formed in the first and/or second disconnection detecting signal layer and avoiding the disconnection detecting signal pattern. The data signal pattern may be formed so as to be covered by the disconnection detecting signal pattern. At least a part of the signal pattern may be formed so as to avoid the disconnection detecting signal pattern.
