A method for manufacturing a tape wiring board in accordance with the
present invention may employ an imprinting process in forming a wiring
pattern, thereby reducing the number of processes for manufacturing a
tape wiring board and allowing the manufacturing process to proceed in a
single production line. Therefore, the manufacturing time and cost may be
reduced. A profile of the wiring pattern may be determined by the shape
of an impression pattern of a mold. This may establish the top width of
inner and outer leads and incorporate fine pad pitch. Although ILB and
OLB process may use an NCP, connection reliability may be established due
to the soft and elastic wiring pattern.
