Abstract
The mobile terminal includes a first part, a second part, a connection structure, and a flexible circuit board. 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.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first part;
- a second part;
- a bending structure having a fixed size;
- and
- a flexible circuit board coupled to the first part and the second part and configured to transmit a signal between the first part and the second part, wherein the flexible circuit board comprises:
- a first end electrically coupled to the first part;
- a second end electrically coupled to the second part;
- and
- two bending parts within the bending structure,
- wherein the two bending parts form an S-shaped structure and maintain the S-shaped structure when the apparatus is folded and when the apparatus is unfolded,
- wherein the bending structure is configured to contain different lengths of the flexible circuit board, and
- wherein a first length of the flexible circuit board in the bending structure when the apparatus is unfolded is less than a second length of the flexible circuit board in the bending structure when the apparatus is folded.
