Compact multi-viewing element endoscope system

A modular electronic assembly for a device usable for performing endoscopic procedures, wherein the modular electronic assembly comprises:

• one or more first electronic components;
• a first circuit board configured to carry the one or more first electronic components, wherein the first circuit board is flexible so as to allow the first circuit board to be folded from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration;
• one or more second electronic components;
• a second circuit board configured to carry the one or more second electronic components, wherein the second circuit board is flexible so as to allow the second circuit board to be folded from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration, and wherein the folded second circuit board receives the folded first circuit board therein.

A modular electronic assembly for a device usable for performing endoscopic procedures, wherein the modular electronic assembly comprises:

• one or more image sensors and lens assemblies, each of the one or more image sensors and lens assemblies having an optical axis;
• a first circuit board configured to carry the one or more image sensors and lens assemblies, wherein the first circuit board is flexible so as to allow the first circuit board to be folded from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration;
• one or more light sources, each of the one or more light sources having a surface through which light is emitted;
• a second circuit board configured to carry the one or more light sources, wherein the second circuit board is flexible so as to allow the second circuit board to be folded from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration, and wherein the folded second circuit board receives the folded first circuit board therein, such that the surface faces in a same direction as the optical axis.
