Printed Board, Image Pickup Apparatus and Camera

Abstract

The present invention relates to a bendable printed board, an image pickup apparatus, and a camera. The bendable printed board is provided with: a first end connected to a moving body movable in an arbitral direction within a predefined plane; a second end connected to a fixed body with slack providing movability to the moving body; and a slit formed on at least a part of a slack portion of the printed board.

1 . A bendable printed board comprising:
 a main body on which a slit is formed;   a first end connected to a moving body which is movable in at least a first direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to a direction in which the slit extends; and   a second end connected to a fixed body with a slack formed on the main body so as to provide movability to the moving body,   wherein the slit is formed on at least a part of the slack of the main body and extends along the slack.   
   
   
       2 . The printed board of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the slit is an open-slit.   
   
   
       3 . The printed board of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the printed board is arranged to turn back on the slack.   
   
   
       4 . The printed board of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the moving body is movable in the first direction and a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.   
   
   
       5 . The printed board of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the main body includes a folding on the slack, where the folding extends in a direction across the slit.   
   
   
       6 . A bendable printed board comprising:
 a main body on which at least one slit is formed;   a first end connected to a moving body which is movable in at least a first direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to a direction in which the at least one slit extends; and   a second end connected to a fixed body with a slack formed on the main body so as to provide movability to the moving body; and   a plurality of wirings formed on the main body and connected between the first end and the second end,   wherein the at least one slit is arranged at at least a part of the slack between the plurality of wirings.   
   
   
       7 . The printed board of  claim 6 ,
 wherein the slit is an open-slit.   
   
   
       8 . The printed board of  claim 6 ,
 wherein the printed board is arranged to turn back on the slack.   
   
   
       9 . The printed board of  claim 6 ,
 wherein the moving body is movable in the first direction and a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.   
   
   
       10 . The printed board of  claim 6 ,
 wherein the main body includes a folding on the slack, where the folding extends in a direction across the slit.   
   
   
       11 . A moving apparatus comprising:
 a moving body which is movable in at least a first direction; and
 a bendable printed board comprising: 
 a main body on which a slit is formed; 
 a first end connected to the moving body; and 
 a second end connected to a fixed body with a slack formed on the main body so as to provide movability to the moving body, 
   wherein the slit is formed on at least a part of the slack of the main body and extends along the slack, and   the first direction is perpendicular to a direction in which the slit extends.   
   
   
       12 . The moving apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the slit is an open-slit.   
   
   
       13 . The moving apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the slack is bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more.   
   
   
       14 . The moving apparatus of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the printed board is arranged to turn back on the slack.   
   
   
       15 . The moving apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the moving body is movable in the first direction and a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction.   
   
   
       16 . The moving apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the main body includes a folding on the slack, where the folding extends in a direction across the slit.   
   
   
       17 . A moving apparatus comprising:
 a moving body which is movable in at least a first direction; and   a bendable printed board comprising:
 a main body on which at least one slit is formed; 
 a first end connected to the moving body which is movable in at least a first direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to a direction in which the at least one slit extends; 
 a second end connected to a fixed body with a slack formed on the main body so as to provide movability to the moving body; and 
 a plurality of wirings formed on the main body and connected between the first end and the second end, 
   wherein the at least one slit arranged at at least a part of the slack between the plurality of wirings.   
   
   
       18 . The moving apparatus of  claim 17 ,
 wherein the slit is an open-slit.   
   
   
       19 . The moving apparatus of  claim 17 ,
 wherein the slack is bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more.   
   
   
       20 . The moving apparatus of  claim 17 ,
 wherein the printed board is arranged to turn back on the slack.   
   
   
       21 . The moving apparatus of  claim 17 ,
