    Abstract: One embodiment of the disclosure includes an electronic device including an enclosure (214), a button (106), and a processing element (not shown). The button is connected to the enclosure and includes a button cap (234) defining a user input surface, a flexible member (238) having an interior surface (270) and exterior surface. The flexible member is aligned with the button cap and is connected thereto. The button further includes a strain sensor (244) connected to the interior surface of the flexible member, the strain sensor is in communication with the processing element. When a force is exerted on the button cap, the flexible member bends and the strain sensor detects a user input corresponding to the force and provides a signal to the processing element corresponding to the user input. In some embodiments, the button may be substantially or completely waterproof.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a circuit board in which the need for board-to-board connectors is substantially reduced or eliminated. Specifically embodiments disclosed herein describe a flexible substrate for use with a computing device. A first module is surface mounted on a first side of the flexible substrate and a second module is surface mounted on a second side of the flexible substrate. A rigid circuit board is coupled to either the first side of the flexible substrate or the second side of the flexible substrate. Further, the flexible substrate is bendable such that at least one of the first module and the second module are positionable with respect to the rigid circuit board and with respect to the other of the first module and the second module.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have structures that are coupled together using conductive adhesive such as anisotropic conductive film and other adhesives. The structures that are coupled together may include a touch sensor structure formed from electrodes on the inner surface of a display cover layer, a display module having display layers such as a thin-film transistor layer, and circuitry mounted on substrates such as printed circuits. Conductive signal path structures may be used in routing signals within the electronic device. The conductive signal path structures may be formed from pins that are embedded within injection molded plastic, from metal traces such as laser-deposited metal traces that are formed on the surface of a plastic member or other dielectric, from metal structures that run within channels in a plastic, printed circuit traces, and other signal path structures.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing, electrical components, and other electronic device structures. A display may be mounted in the housing. The display may have a transparent display cover layer and a display layer such as an organic light-emitting diode display layer that is mounted to the underside of the transparent display cover layer. A flexible printed circuit with metal traces may be mounted under the organic light-emitting diode display layer. The metal traces may form coils for a near-field communications inductive loop antenna. A magnetic shielding layer may be interposed between the housing and the flexible printed circuit. The magnetic shielding layer may include a polymer magnetic shielding layer having magnetic material particles embedded in a polymer matrix. The magnetic shielding layer may also have a polymer-binder-free magnetic shielding layer.
