ABSTRACT:
A connecting device of a flexible printed circuit board has a reinforced backlight FPC board, is free from bad contact resulting from insufficient insertion of a terminal portion of a flexible printed circuit board into a connector, and ensures good connection without leaving contaminants, scratches, or the like on contacts of the terminal portion. The connecting device of a flexible printed circuit board has a terminal portion having a contact formed as a printed conductor in a tip end portion of a film-form flexible printed circuit board, and a connector having an insertion slot into which the terminal portion is inserted and a contact fitted inside the insertion slot and connected to the contact of the terminal portion. Moreover, a reinforcing plate is bonded on the face of the terminal portion opposite to the face thereof on which the contact is formed, and an ear-like piece that makes contact with the opening rim of the insertion slot in the connector is formed in a position a predetermined distance inward from the tip end of the terminal portion in the length direction of the flexible printed circuit board.
