ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17992543 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a housing, two printed circuit boards, and a flexible printed circuit board that connects them. The flexible circuit board has a bending part that extends from one connector to the other. An electrical component is also present in the housing, facing the flexible circuit board. A buffer member is placed between two portions of the bending part.
- The electronic device includes a housing, two printed circuit boards, and a flexible printed circuit board.
- The flexible circuit board connects the two printed circuit boards and has a bending part.
- An electrical component is present in the housing, facing the flexible circuit board.
- A buffer member is placed between two portions of the bending part.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
- Industrial equipment and machinery.
- Automotive electronics.
- Medical devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a flexible connection between two printed circuit boards, allowing for movement or bending.
- Protects the bending part of the flexible circuit board from damage or stress.
- Ensures reliable electrical connection between the circuit boards.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables the design of compact and flexible electronic devices.
- Reduces the risk of damage to the flexible circuit board during use.
- Enhances the durability and reliability of the electronic device.
- Facilitates the integration of various electronic components within a limited space.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device including a housing; a first printed circuit board disposed in the housing; a second printed circuit board disposed in the housing; a flexible printed circuit board configured to electrically connect the first printed circuit board to the second printed circuit board, the flexible printed circuit board including: a first connector connected to the first printed circuit board, a second connector connected to the second printed circuit board, and a bending part which extends from the first connector away from the second printed circuit board and bends to extend toward the second printed circuit board; an electrical component disposed in the housing, wherein at least a portion of the electrical component faces the flexible printed circuit board; and a buffer member disposed between a first portion of the bending part and a second portion of the bending part which faces the first portion of the bending part.
