CIRCUIT BOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18348003 titled 'CIRCUIT BOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a movable housing and a circuit board inside.

  • The housing consists of two parts, with one part able to move in relation to the other.
  • The circuit board is positioned inside the housing and has a flexible part that bends when the housing is moved.
  • The circuit board also has a more rigid part that extends from the flexible part.
  • The circuit board includes a flexible non-conductive film, a conductive pattern, and an electromagnetic shielding material.
  • The conductive pattern is positioned on the flexible film and is connected to the rigid part of the circuit board through conductive vias.
  • The electromagnetic shielding material is part of a coverlay that overlaps the conductive pattern and extends from the flexible part to the rigid part of the circuit board.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first housing part and a second housing part movable with respect to the first housing part, and a circuit board positioned in the housing and including a first part bent in response to movement of the second housing part and a second part extending from the first part and more rigid than the first part, wherein the circuit board may comprise a flexible non-conductive film extending from the first part to the second part, a laminate structure including at least one conductive pattern positioned on the flexible non-conductive film, a coverlay extending from the first part to the second part, overlapping the laminate structure, and including an electromagnetic shielding material, and at least one conductive via positioned at the second part and electrically connecting the at least one conductive pattern and the coverlay.
