Title:
ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/066817
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a housing comprising a first surface, a second surface facing in the opposite direction to the first surface, and a side surface surrounding the space between the first surface and the second surface; a touch screen display exposed through the first surface; a printed circuit board (PCB) which comprises at least one conductive path, which is arranged between the touch screen display and the second surface, and which comprises a least one conductive path; and a flexible connector arranged to provide an electric connection between the at least one conductive path and at least a part of the side surface. At least a part of the side surface of the housing is made of an electrically conductive material. When seen from above the first surface, the first surface has a substantially rectangular shape. The rectangular shape may comprise a first edge extending in a first direction and having a first length, a second edge extending in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, and having a second length, which is larger than the first length, a third edge extending in the first direction and having the first length, and a fourth edge extending in the second direction and having the second length. The touch screen display comprises a first side extending in the first direction along the first edge of the first surface. The first side may be in the range of 0.1mm to 10mm from the first edge of the first surface in the second direction. The connector may comprise a first conductive portion which can move in the second direction, and which is arranged to electrically contact the at least a part of the side surface; and a second conductive portion capable of moving in a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first and second directions. Other examples can also be implemented.
