Abstract: An electronic device contains electrical circuits. The circuits may include circuitry on printed circuit boards and components such as a touch screen display and buttons. Signal paths for routing signals between the electrical circuits may be formed from metal traces on flexible printed circuit cables. The flexible printed circuit cables may be bent around one or more bend axes. A flexible printed circuit cable may be formed from a flexible polymer substrate having one or more layers of polymer. Upper and lower ground layers may be supported by the flexible polymer substrate. The metal traces for the signal paths may lie between the upper and lower ground layers. Longitudinal slits within the flexible printed circuit may be formed that pass through the ground layers and the polymer layers. Vias may be formed that couple the ground layers together. The vias may run along the edges of the slits.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods associated with selective powering of an electronic display in response to sensed data indicating that the electronic display is not visible. By selectively enabling the electronic display between power states based on whether the electronic display is visible, a perceivably always-on electronic display may be provided without the electronic display being always-on, thereby balancing consumer interests with technical requirements of a relatively long battery life and correspondingly low power consumption.
