Abstract
Abstract A circuit board for mounting a CPU for controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising a multilayered circuit board for mounting the CPU, and a shield layer for shielding the multilayered circuit board without connecting the shield layer to the circuits of the board. The circuits of the multilayered circuit board are produced by a printing or an electrolytic plating method or an electroless plating method.
