The panel includes a curved display surface, a mounting portion curved, and a plurality of first pads disposed at intervals on the mounting portion. The circuit board is a plate-like. The first flexible wiring board has a first end portion mounted on the plurality of first pads and a second end portion connected to the circuit board. The first IC chip is mounted on the mounting portion and electrically connected to the first flexible wiring board. A first center of the first flexible wiring board is closer to a third center of the panel than a second center of the first IC chip in plan view.

A camera device is described that includes a prism driving device for driving a prism, a lens driving device for driving a lens body, and a base for fixing an image sensor. These components stand in order in a straight line in a case. The prism driving device has a driving portion and a flexible printed circuit board for relaying current supply from an external portion to the driving portion. Terminals of the flexible printed circuit board are connected to terminal receiving portions of the base.

An electronic device is provided, which includes a housing including a sidewall; a through-hole configured to penetrate the sidewall; an assembling hole formed adjacent to the through-hole inside the housing; a key assembly configured to be received in the assembling hole and disposed to face an inner surface of the housing in an area where the through-hole is positioned; and a fixing member configured to be received in the assembling hole and to bring a surface of the key assembly into close contact with the inner surface of the housing around the through-hole and seal between the through-hole and an inner space of the housing.

A flexible printed circuit board includes a central portion and one or more tabs extending from the central portion. The one or more tabs are foldable relative to the central portion. A plurality of pads are located within the central portion, and the plurality of pads are configured to electrically connect to a transducer. Lands are located within one of the one or more tabs, and electrical traces connect the plurality of pads and the lands.
