Abstract
A FPC flattening jig and a FPC flattening method. The FPC flattening jig includes a pressurization mechanism and a heating mechanism; a bottom of the pressurization mechanism has a planar base surface which is used to contact a warped FPC to exert pressure thereon; the heating mechanism is used to heat the pressurization mechanism, such that the planar base surface of the pressurization mechanism has a predefined temperature when exerting pressure on the FPC. The FPC flattening jig heats the pressurization mechanism by a heating mechanism, and then the heated planar base surface of the pressurization mechanism contacts the warped FPC and exerts pressure thereon. Therefore, the FPC can be flattened. As such, the FPC can be reused, facilitating the improvement on the recycling rate of FPC.
