ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a printed circuit having a three-dimensional surface capable of conforming to a contoured surface of a vehicle trim panel. Printed circuit comprises a plurality of electrical conductors and connectors secured to a polymeric substrate. A convoluted region of the printed circuit permits formation of the three-dimensional surface in the printed circuit. The present invention further comprises a method a producing three-dimensional surface and the printed circuit by either thermoforming the printed circuit or mechanically stretching the printed circuit to produce the three-dimensional surface.
