Abstract:
A printed electrical circuit and methods for additively printing electrical circuits. Patterned layers of conductive, insulating, semi-conductive materials, and other materials are print deposited on a flexible or rigid substrate to form electrical circuits. A buffering layer is selectively deposited to cover or encapsulate these materials to comprise a comfort layer that provides a soft and comfortable interface to the skin of a wearer. The comfort layer can be selectively deposited on the same press that the conductive, insulating, semi-conductive materials, and other materials are deposited. Further, the comfort layer is selectively deposited only where it is desired and exactly where it is desired.

The invention relates to carrier materials for printing electrically conductive structures by means of inkjet printing using inks comprising conductive particles, leading to low resistances of the printed structures without thermal post-treatment, if said materials comprise a microporous layer as the outer layer, having an average pore size of less than 100 nm.

A display substrate is provided. The display substrate includes a substrate having a display area (1b) and a border area (1a) surrounding the display area (1b); a non-black photo-resist layer (2) formed on the substrate in the border area (1a); and a black photo-resist layer (3) formed on the non-black photo-resist layer (2). The non-black photo-resist layer (2) interfaces the black photo-resist layer (3) with a diffusion structure (5).
Abstract:
The subject matter of this disclosure relates to a flexible circuit for carrying a signal between electrical components that includes boosting circuitry for mitigating the effects of signal degradation. More particularly the flexible circuit can carry a signal between a main logic board and an input/output board supporting input/output ports of a portable electronic device. The flexible circuit can be configured with bends in order to meet packaging constraints such as avoiding contact with components obstructing a direct path between connectors of the electrical components. Additional bends can also be included in the flexible that facilitate the assembly of the portable electronic device.
