Further, since the optical fiber is mounted in the groove formed in the surface of the printed wiring board to the depth of the base material,
It is possible to prevent damage to the optical fiber and it is easy to handle.
Further, the bending portion of the optical fiber, which is likely to cause optical transmission loss by handling, can be controlled and controlled by the bending radius of the groove. Furthermore, by filling the groove with the optical fiber and then filling it with resin, it is possible to provide an optical / electronic printed wiring board with further improved reliability against the influence of pressure and humidity.
