Abstract

Abstract A printed wiring board includes a substrate having an electrically conductive pattern disposed on at least one side of the substrate. An electrically conductive through-hole is formed in the substrate. At least one of a solder resist film and an electromagnetic shielding layer undercoat film are disposed over the conductive pattern but do not cover the electrically conductive through-hole. An ink layer is formed over at least one end of the electrically conductive through-hole. A method of manufacturing the printed wiring board embodied by the invention comprises providing a substrate having an electrically conductive through-hole. A conductive pattern is formed on at least one side of the substrate. At least one of a solder resist film and an electromagnetic shielding layer undercoat film are formed over the conductive pattern but not over the electrically conductive through-hole. An ink layer is formed over at least one end of the electrically conductive through-hole. The ink layer may be formed simultaneously with the printing of symbols of electronic parts to be mounted on the printed wiring board.
