Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved connection for circuit substrates. The circuit substrates are connected at concave and convex portions at their ends. The concave portion is formed such that the inside width is larger than the entrance width. The convex portion fits into the concave portion. Thereby, a connected portion of the circuit substrates has increased tensile strength. Furthermore, abnormality of the connected portion of the circuit substrates may be easily perceived.
