ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a connection structure between a printed circuit board and a flexible circuit board that enables the number of assembly steps including steps using soldering to be reduced and enables detachment of the flexible circuit board to be prevented. Printed-side conductive patterns formed on a printed circuit board is connected with flexible-side conductive patterns formed on a flexible circuit board. The connection structure comprises: two printed-side openings provided in the printed-side conductive patterns of the printed circuit board; two flexible-side openings provided in the flexible circuit board to align with the printed-side openings when the flexible-side conductive patterns are brought into contact with the printed-side conductive patterns; a frame having two leg parts that are inserted through the both openings; and an elastic pressing member interposed between the frame and the flexible circuit board. The leg parts are fixed on a bottom surface of the printed circuit board.
