Electrical interconnect between an articulating display and a PC based planar board

A data processing arrangement comprising:

• a display unit;
• a data processing unit;
• and
• a flexible interconnect arrangement (FIA) adapted to be coupled between the display unit and the data processing unit and transmit low voltage differential signals to the display unit along a length of the flexible interconnect arrangement, wherein the flexible interconnect arrangement includes:
• a conductive layer extending parallel to a plane along the length of the FIA, an upper insulative layer and a lower insulative layer respectively above and below the conductive layer, and an upper shield layer and lower shield layer respectively above and below the upper insulative layer and the lower insulative layer, said layers forming at least first and second opposing sides orthogonal to the plane of the conductive layer;
• and
• at least two conductive shield members adapted to face the first and second opposing sides of said layers respectively and to electrically connect the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer on each opposing side, respectively, wherein the conductive shield members and the shield layers are adapted to inhibit EMI about the length of the FIA.
