Electrical components attached to fabric
An item may include fabric having insulating and conductive yarns or other strands of material. The conductive strands may form signal paths. Electrical components can be mounted to the fabric. Each electrical component may have an electrical device such as a semiconductor die that is mounted on an interposer substrate. The interposer may have contacts that are soldered to the conductive strands. A protective cover may encapsulate portions of the electrical component. To create a robust connection between the electrical component and the fabric, the conductive strands may be threaded through recesses in the electrical component. The recesses may be formed in the interposer or may be formed in a protective cover on the interposer. Conductive material in the recess may be used to electrically and/or mechanically connect the conductive strand to a bond pad in the recess. Thermoplastic material may be used to seal the solder joint.
Electronic Devices With Folding Displays Having Textured Flexible Areas
A foldable electronic device may bend about a bend axis. A foldable display panel may be configured to bend along the bend axis as the foldable device is folded. A display cover layer may overlap the display panel. The display panel may have an array of pixels configured to display an image viewable through the display cover layer. The display cover layer may be formed from a layer of glass. A recess may be formed in the layer of glass that runs parallel to the bend axis and that overlaps the bend axis. The recess forms a flexible locally thinned portion in the glass that allows the display cover layer to bend. A rough surface texture and polymer coating may be provided in the recess. The recess may have shallowly sloping walls.
Board-to-board connector
A connector includes a flat-plate housing made of insulating resin and including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, a plurality of contacts held on the housing, and a first hold-down and a second hold-down made of metal and disposed to correspond to a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, respectively. The housing includes a CPU board opposed surface to be opposed to a CPU board. The first hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding first positioning hole. The second hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding second positioning hole.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR
A printed circuit board connector for orthogonal mating of two or more printed circuit boards. The connector utilizes interior perimeter trace connections of a main printed circuit board and internal trace connections of a mating printed circuit board in conjunction with external trace connections. The main board may utilize surface connections, where both external trace connections and internal trace connections are exposed on a surface of the main board to couple to the mating board. The main board may include a slot or pocket, allowing for the partial insertion of the mating board into the main board, with internal trace connections disposed within the slot or pocket. The slot or pocket may extend through the main board, such that the internal trace connections are disposed along a side of the pocket to couple with corresponding internal trace connections of the mating board.
Mounting system for mechanical-shock resistant printed circuit board (PCB)
A shock resistant fuselage system includes first and second fuselage side walls, each of the first and second fuselage side walls having a plurality of guide posts, and a printed circuit board (PCB) rigidly attached to at least one of the first and second fuselage side walls, the PCB having a plurality of guide slots, each of the plurality of guide posts slideably seated in a respective one of the plurality of guide slots so that elastic deformation of the PCB is guided by the guide slots between the first and second fuselage side walls.
OPTICAL UNIT AND BENDING ASSIST MEMBER
An optical unit may include a movable body having an optical module, a fixed body, a support mechanism which turnably supports the movable body with respect to the fixed body with one or a plurality of directions intersecting an optical axis direction as a direction of a turning axis, and a flexible wiring board whose one end is connected with a connection part provided in the movable body and which is provided with a flat face region facing the optical axis direction. The flat face region is disposed on a side in a first intersecting direction intersecting the optical axis direction with respect to the movable body and is provided with a curved part curved without overlapping in the optical axis direction and is structured so that at least a part of the flat face region is overlapped with a position of the turning axis in the optical axis direction.
BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR

Mobile Terminal
The mobile terminal includes a first part, a second part, a connection structure, and a flexible circuit bar. A signal is transmitted between the first part and the second part through the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board includes a first end and a second end. The first end is electrically connected to the first part, and the second end is electrically connected to the second part. The flexible circuit board passes through the connection structure, and a part of the flexible circuit board in the connection structure maintains a regular bending structure.
