Abstract: This is directed to systems and methods for coupling sections of an electronic device together. Sections of an electronic device can be coupled together via “knuckles.” The particular shape and structure of the knuckles can be based on various design considerations. For example, in some embodiments each section can function as an individual antenna. In this case, the knuckles can be designed in order to provide electrical isolation between the sections, thus allowing proper operation of the antennas. For example, the knuckles can be formed from a dielectric material, etc. As another design example, the knuckles can be designed in order to provide increased strength in areas of high strain, and/or to counteract torsional twisting in areas of high impact. As yet another design example, the knuckle can be designed in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing or which otherwise meets cosmetic requirements.
Abstract translation: 这涉及用于将电子设备的部分耦合在一起的系统和方法。 电子设备的部分可以通过“转向节”耦合在一起。指节的特定形状和结构可以基于各种设计考虑。 例如，在一些实施例中，每个部分可以用作单独的天线。 在这种情况下，可以设计转向节以便在各部分之间提供电气隔离，从而允许天线的正常工作。 例如，转向节可以由介电材料等形成。作为另一设计实例，可以设计转向节以便在高应变的区域中提供增强的强度，和/或抵抗高冲击区域的扭转扭转。 作为另一设计实例，转向节可以以美学上令人满意的方式设计，否则满足了化妆品的要求。

Abstract: A portable electronic device may include a housing member, a rear cover coupled to the housing member, and a top module coupled to the housing member and including a front cover defining an exterior surface and an interior surface opposite to the exterior surface, a display stack attached to the interior surface of the front cover and comprising a flexible circuit element extending from a side of the display stack, a frame member attached to the interior surface of the front cover and extending at least partially around a periphery of the display stack, and an encapsulating structure positioned between the frame member and the display stack and at least partially encapsulating a portion of a peripheral side of the display stack and the flexible circuit element. The encapsulating structure may cover at least a portion of a bottom side of the display stack.
