To provide a display device including a flexible panel that can be handled without seriously damaging a driver circuit or a connecting portion between circuits. The display device includes a bent portion obtained by bending an element substrate. A circuit for driving the display device is provided in the bent portion and a wiring extends from the circuit, whereby the strength of a portion including the circuit for driving the display device is increased and failure of the circuit is reduced. Furthermore, the element substrate is bent in a connecting portion between an external terminal electrode and an external connecting wiring (FPC) so that the element substrate provided with the external terminal electrode fits the external connecting wiring, whereby the strength of the connecting portion is increased.

A printer includes: a casing; a grooved part recessed from an outer surface of the casing; a switch unit provided in the grooved part; a controller inside the casing; an FPC connecting the switch unit to the controller; and a hole part formed at a prescribed end portion of a bottom surface of the grooved part. A bottom surface of the switch unit is fixed to the groove bottom surface through the FPC. The hole part is aligned with a center of the groove bottom surface in a prescribed direction. The hole part defines a first inner end and a second inner end opposing each other in the prescribed direction, the first inner end being farther away from the center of the groove bottom surface than the second inner end is in the prescribed direction. The first inner end is positioned outside of the grooved part in the prescribed direction.

A lens module of reduced size includes a base and an adhesive body. The base includes a first base portion and a second base portion located outside the first base portion. The first base portion is made of plastic and the second base portion is made of metal. The base further comprises a slot. The adhesive body is received in the slot and connects the first base portion and the second base portion. The disclosure also provides an electronic device having the lens module.

A camera lens suspension assembly includes a support member including a support metal base layer, a moving member including a moving metal base layer, bearings and smart memory alloy wires. The support member includes a bearing plate portion, static wire attach structures, and mount regions. A printed circuit on the support metal base layer includes traces extending to each static wire attach structure. The moving member includes a moving plate portion, elongated flexure arms extending from a periphery of the moving plate portion and including mount regions on ends opposite the moving plate portion, and moving wire attach structures. The bearings are between and engage the bearing plate portion of the support member and the moving plate portion of the moving member. Each of the smart memory alloy wires is attached to and extends one of the static wire attach structures and one of the moving wire attach structures.

A display device including: a display panel including a first area, a second area spaced apart from the first area, and a bent third area between the first and second areas; a first support film coupled to a bottom surface of the display panel and overlapping the first area; and a second support film coupled to the bottom surface of the display panel, overlapping the second area, and spaced apart from the first support film by a gap, the gap overlapping the third area, a top surface of the first support film facing the display panel and an inner side of the first support film form a first angle, a top surface of the second support film facing the display panel and an inner side of the second support film form a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, and the first support film includes a protruding pattern.

A surgical system is disclosed including an end effector, a control circuit, a closure member, and a firing member. The end effector includes a first jaw, a second jaw, and an electrode. The first jaw is rotatable relative to the second jaw between an open position and a close position to capture tissue therebetween. The electrode is configured to conduct a sub-therapeutic RF current to the tissue. The control circuit is operably coupled to the electrode. The control circuit is configured to measure impedance of the tissue over time based on the sub-therapeutic RF current. The closure member is configured to move the first jaw towards the second jaw at a closure rate based on the impedance of the tissue. The firing member is configured to move within the end effectors towards a fired position at a firing rate based on the impedance of the tissue.

A conductive interconnect structure comprises a polymeric substrate (e.g., a thermoplastic) and a plurality of compliant conductive microstructures (e.g., conductive carbon nanofibers) embedded in the polymeric substrate. The microstructures can be arranged linearly or in a grid pattern. In response to heating, the polymeric substrate transitions from an unshrunk state to a shrunken state to move the microstructures closer together, thereby increasing an interconnect density of the compliant conductive microstructures. Thus, the gap or pitch between adjacent microstructures is reduced in response to heat-induced shrinkage of the polymeric substrate to generate finely-pitched microstructures that are densely pitched, thereby increasing the current-carrying capacity of the microstructures. The polymeric material can be heated to conform or form-fit to planar and non-planar surfaces/geometries, and can be selectively heated at various portions to tailor or customize the interconnect density of the microstructures at selected portions. Associated electrical conducting assemblies and methods are provided.

A flexible printed circuit board includes: a proximal end portion; a left strip portion and a right strip portion that extend in the rear direction from the proximal end portion; and conductive paths, a portion of which is provided spanning from the proximal end portion to the left strip portion, and another portion of which is provided spanning from the proximal end portion to the right strip portion. In portions of the conductive path in the left strip portion and the right strip portion, strip side connecting portions that are electrically connected to electrode terminals of electricity storage devices are provided. In the left strip portion, a deformation portion that deforms to increase the distance between the left strip portion and the right strip portion is provided.
