A coating of an outer plate contains a perylene-based pigment, and satisfies (R.sup.OH(P)/R.sup.OH(OA))≥74, where R.sup.OH(P) is the highlight reflectance of the coating of the outer plate at a peak wavelength at which reflectance reaches the maximum value in a spectral reflectance curve, and R.sup.OH(OA) is the average highlight reflectance of the coating of the outer plate in a complementary wavelength range. A coating of an inner plate part contains a perylene-based pigment and an iron oxide-based pigment, the content of the perylene-based pigment in the coating of the inner plate part is in units of PWC, and the mass ratio of the content of the iron oxide-based pigment to the content of the perylene-based pigment in the coating of the inner plate part is 3-20%.

Provided is a circuit substrate, including a glass film (10) forming a rough layer (11) after surface roughness processing, a resin adhesion (20) located the rough layer (11) on either side of the glass film (10), and a metal foil (30) located on the outside of resin adhesion layer (20). The glass film (10), the resin adhesion layer (20) and the metal foil (30) are joined together through suppressing. The circuit substrate employs the glass film (10) which forms a rough layer (11) after surface roughness processing as a carrier material, so that the resin adhesion layer (20) and the surface of the glass film (10) have a good binding force, and the dielectric constant of the circuit substrate has slight difference in the directions of X, Y and Z. Also provided is manufacturing method for a circuit substrate.
