Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure Flexible electronic devices may be provided. A flexible electronic device may include a flexible display, a flexible housing and one or more flexible internal components configured to allow the flexible electronic 5 device to be deformed. Flexible displays may include flexible display layers, flexible touch-sensitive layers, and flexible display cover layers. The flexible housing may be a multi-stable flexible housing having one or more stable positions. The flexible housing may include a 10 configurable support structure that, when engaged, provides a rigid support structure for the flexible housing. The flexible internal components may include flexible batteries, flexible printed circuits or other flexible components. A flexible battery may include 15 flexible and rigid portions or may include a lubricious separator layer that provides flexibility for the flexible battery. A flexible printed circuit may include flexible and rigid portions or openings that allow some rigid portions to flex with respect to other rigid portions.

Abstract: HOUSING FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH REDUCED BORDER REGION An electronic device having a housing structure that is configured to receive at least one glass cover is disclosed. The glass cover serves to cover a display assembly provided within the electronic device. The glass cover can be secured to the housing structure so as to facilitate providing a narrow border between an active display area and an outer edge of the housing structure. The enclosure for the electronic device can be thin yet be sufficiently strong to be suitable for use in electronic devices, such as portable electronic devices.

Abstract: A portable computing device is disclosed. The portable computing device can take many forms such as a laptop computer, a tablet computer, and so on. The portable computing device can include at least a single piece housing. The single 5 piece housing includes a plurality of steps. The plurality of mounting steps are formed by at least removing a preselected amount of housing material at predetermined locations on the interior surface. At least some of the mounting steps are used to mount at least some of the plurality of internal operating components to the housing.

Abstract: A system and methods to extending the overall display area for a device. At or near the borders of a device, pixel pitch between adjacent pixels may be increased such that overall pixel placement may be provided closer to a border of a display of a device. In one embodiment, pixel drive circuitry may be located in the spacing between adjacent pixels. Additionally, various optical systems and techniques may be utilized to provide an appearance of a lack of a border around the display such as decreasing the size of border pixels, overdriving the border pixels, or utilizing a light pipe on a surface above the border pixels.

Abstract: A magnetic attachment mechanism and method is described. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach at least two objects together in a preferred configuration without fasteners and without external intervention. The magnetic attachment mechanism can be used to releasably attach an accessory device to an electronic device. The accessory device can be used to augment the functionality of usefulness of the electronic device.

Abstract: Eine Methodik zum Verbinden von Vorrichtungskomponenten mit Schaltungen, die auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen und Orientierungen relativ zueinander sind werden beschrieben. Eine erste Schaltung kann auf einer starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, angeordnet werden, wobei die Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, zumindest ein flexibles Bauteil umfasst, das sich ein gemeinsames Substrat mit der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, teilt, das sich von einem Körperabschnitt der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, erstreckt. Das flexible Bauteil kann Leiterbahnen aufweisen, die verwendet werden um Energie und/oder Daten an eine Schnittstelle weiterzuleiten, die mit dem Energie- und/oder Daten-Leiterbahnen gekoppelt ist. Das flexible Bauteil kann abgelenkt oder verdreht sein, um eine erste Schaltung auf dem Körperabschnitt der starren Leiterplatte, die mehrere Ebenen aufweist, mit einer zweiten Schaltung, die mit einer anderen Vorrichtungskomponente assoziiert ist, zu verbinden.

Abstract: A methodology for connecting device components with circuitry located at different levels and orientations relative to one another is described. First circuitry can be located on a multi-plane rigid circuit board where the multi-plane rigid circuit board can include at least one flexible member sharing a common substrate with the multi-plane rigid circuit board that extends from a body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board. The flexible member can include traces used to convey power and/or data and an interface coupled to the power and/or data traces. The flexible member can be deflected or twisted to connect first circuitry on the body portion of the multi-plane rigid circuit board to second circuitry associated with another device component.
