Abstract: An electronic device including a transverse circuit board to route electrical traces is provided. In some embodiments, the electronic device includes: a housing; a first printed circuit board (PCB) that is fixed relative to the device housing; an integrated circuit that is connected to the first PCB; a second PCB that is situated in a transverse position relative to the first PCB, a plurality of electrical traces; and a securing component that secures the second PCB in the transverse position relative to the first PCB. Each respective electrical trace from the plurality of electrical traces includes: (i) a first portion that extends across the first PCB, between the integrated circuit and the second PCB, (ii) a second portion that extends across the second PCB, between the first PCB and either the first PCB or a third PCB, and (iii) a third portion that extends across either the first PCB or the third PCB, between the second PCB and a location other than the integrated circuit.

Abstract: An electronic device including a display panel is provided. In some embodiments, the display panel includes an active display region and an electrical component. The electrical component is distinct from a touch sensor device that is adapted to receive touch input across the active display region of the display panel. An electrical conductor connects the electrical component to another component of the electronic device via the display panel, such as via a bent portion of the display panel.

Abstract: Techniques, methods, systems, and other mechanisms are described for integrating a sensor into a flexible display circuit. In some implementations, a computing device includes a flexible printed circuit. The flexible printed circuit includes a first set of conductors that extend from a first end of the flexible printed circuit to a second end of the flexible printed circuit to connect a display layer of a display device to a processing device. The flexible printed circuit also includes a second set of conductors that at least partially define a sensor at a sensor portion of the flexible printed circuit that is between the first end of the flexible printed circuit and the second end of the flexible printed circuit.
