ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18346880 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a folding hinge structure and two connected housings.

  • The device includes a hinge housing and a first housing connected to the hinge structure.
  • A second housing is connected to the first housing through the hinge structure and can rotate with respect to the first housing.
  • A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) is used to connect the first and second housings.
  • The FPCB has one end connected to a first printed circuit board (PCB) in the first housing and the other end connected to a second PCB in the second housing.
  • The FPCB consists of a first section and a second section, with the second section extending from one side of the first section.
  • The curvature of the second section varies more than the curvature of the first section when the first and second housings rotate with respect to the hinge structure.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes: a hinge structure which is a folding area and includes a hinge housing; a first housing connected to the hinge structure; a second housing connected with the first housing through the hinge structure to be rotatable with respect to the first housing; and a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), which has one end connected to a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed in the first housing, and the other end connected to a second PCB disposed in the second housing. The FPCB includes a first section and a second section, the second section is extended from one side of the first section, and a variance in a curvature of the second section is greater than a variance in a curvature of the first section when the first housing and the second housing rotate with respect to the hinge structure.
