Shielding portions of an electronic device

A method of forming a mobile communication device flexible display apparatus comprising:

• wrapping a panel around a mandrel portion to form a bending portion of the panel;
• attaching the wrapped panel on either side of a shaft portion;
• positioning the panel and wrapped mandrel portion between a cover glass element and a driver integrated circuit (D-IC);
• and
• forming a shielding layer positioned around the bending portion of the panel, the shielding layer configured to inhibit electromagnetic signals through the bending portion.

A mobile communication device, comprising:

• a cover glass element;
• a driver integrated circuit (D-IC);
• a mandrel portion;
• a shaft portion;
• a panel, positioned between the cover glass element and the D-IC, and comprising an inner panel layer that wraps around at least a portion of the mandrel portion to form a bending portion of the panel, the panel attached on either side on the shaft portion;
• and
• a shielding layer positioned around the inner panel layer and configured to inhibit electromagnetic signals through the bending portion.
