## Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic device including a display module and an electronics module arranged in a common housing, wherein the common housing is completed by a front cover, wherein the display module is arranged directly adjacent to the front cover, wherein the electronics module includes a printed circuit board having multiple layers and a plurality of electronic components attached to the printed circuit board, wherein the electronics module is arranged adjacent to the display module and wherein the printed circuit board includes a first layer and a second layer delimiting the printed circuit board on opposing sides, wherein the first layer is an electromagnetic interference shielding layer and the first layer is arranged facing the display module.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device comprising a display module and an electronics module that are arranged in a common housing,
wherein the common housing is completed by a front cover,
wherein the display module is arranged directly adjacent to the front cover,
wherein the electronics module comprises a printed circuit board having multiple layers and a plurality of electronic components attached to the printed circuit board, wherein the electronics module is arranged adjacent to the display module and wherein the printed circuit board comprises a first layer and a second layer delimiting the printed circuit board on opposing sides,
wherein the first layer is an electromagnetic interference shielding layer and
wherein the first layer is arranged facing the display module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the printed circuit board comprises a plurality of electromagnetic interference shielding layers.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the display module comprises a liquid crystal display layer and a backlight layer, the liquid crystal display layer being attached to the backlight layer,
the first layer arranged directly adjacent to the backlight layer and
the liquid crystal display layer arranged directly adjacent to the front cover.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

An electronic device according to claim 3, wherein the front cover comprises a touch-sensitive layer and
wherein the liquid crystal display layer is arranged adjacent and preferably directly adjacent to the touch-sensitive layer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the electronic components are arranged on the second layer of the printed circuit board.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the printed circuit board and the display module are attached to mounting means that are adapted for mounting the printed circuit board and the display module in the common housing.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

An electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the mounting means are adapted for mounting the front cover, the display module and the printed circuit board in the common housing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

An electronic device according to claim 6, wherein each mounting means comprises a first projection and a second projection,
wherein the printed circuit board is attached to a lower surface of the first projection, the lower surface facing towards the back cover of the common housing,
wherein the liquid crystal display layer is arranged in a recess formed between the first and the second projection,
wherein the backlight layer is clamped between the liquid crystal display layer and the printed circuit board and abuts a lateral surface of the first projection, the lateral surface extending perpendicularly to the lower surface of the first projection.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

An electronic device according to claim 8, wherein each mounting means comprises a top surface, wherein the top surface is adapted for attachment of a protective layer, which constitutes a part of the front cover and wherein the touch-sensitive layer is clamped between the protective layer and the liquid crystal display layer or the second projection.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

An electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the common housing comprises a back cover, wherein the back cover is arranged adjacent to the second layer of the printed circuit board, and
comprising cooling means for cooling the printed circuit board and/or the electronic components attached to the back cover.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A flight attendant panel comprising an electronic device according to claim 1.
