Abstract
An object is to provide an electronic device and a method of assembling electronic devices, in which a wiring member can be prevented from twisting and the reliability and efficiency of work can be improved. A twist protection function is provided to a wiring member, which is connected to a curved liquid crystal display panel at one end, and folded to be received in a casing. Such a twist protection function can be fulfilled by forming a connector portion of a circuit block into a roughly V-like shape, to which the wiring member is connected with bending in roughly V-like shape, or by thermally deforming the wiring member on the side of the curved liquid crystal display panel.
Claims13
An electronic device comprising:
- two substrates laminated vertically, at least one of which being curved;
- a belt-shaped wiring member having flexibility, for connecting electrically the two substrates;
- and
- a stress relaxation portion for easing a stress, which works on the wiring member by a connection between the wiring member and the substrate having a curved shape.
An electronic device having a display unit that is curved in a three-dimensional shape, comprising:
- a display panel that composes the display unit and is curved;
- a panel-shaped circuit block that controls the display panel;
- a casing that receives the display panel and the circuit block, and forms an outer shell of the electronic device;
- a belt-shaped wiring member that connects electrically the display panel with the circuit block in the casing, an intermediate portion of the wiring member being folded back in the casing;
- and
- a flexure absorbing portion that absorbs a flexure generated in the wiring member by a connection between the wiring member and a curved part of the display panel.
A method of assembling an electronic device, which has a planar first circuit panel and a curved second circuit panel, comprising steps of:
- connecting an end of a belt-shaped wiring member to the first circuit panel;
- heating the wiring member to curvedly deform another end portion of the wiring member;
- and
- connecting the another end of the wiring member to the second circuit panel.
