Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flexible portable electronic device.
  • the present invention relates to such a flexible portable electronic device of the wristwatch type.
  • a flexible electronic device typically consists of a lower flexible band and an upper flexible band secured to the lower flexible band for example by gluing or heat-sealing. Between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band is housed an electronic assembly for at least developing information.
  • this electronic assembly is intended to display in particular a time information and is composed, for this purpose, of a display device such as a crystal display cell liquid and a printed circuit board on which are mounted the various discrete and integrated components necessary for the proper functioning of the wristwatch such as, in particular, a time base.
  • the printed circuit board is connected to the liquid crystal display cell as well as to a battery by means of a plurality of connectors.
  • the upper and lower flexible strips are made of a flexible material such as a polymer which is characterized by high flexibility and elasticity.
  • Suitable polymers for such an application include certain elastomers such as natural rubber, styrene-butadiene copolymer or even thermoplastic polyurethane.
  • Other materials of the flexible thermoplastic polymer type such as a polyamide or a silicone are also conceivable.
  • Portable electronic devices obtained from such bands hoses are intended to be worn around a portion of a user's body, typically the wrist. In the position of use, these portable electronic devices are curved, which has a significant disadvantage.
  • the various electronic components that make up the electronic assembly of information development are generally more rigid than the flexible strips between which they are trapped.
  • these electronic components liquid crystal display cell, printed circuit board, battery
  • the various electronic components are generally more rigid than the flexible strips between which they are trapped.
  • locally stiffer areas are formed at the junction between two of these electronic components or at the junction between one of these electronic components and the softer material.
  • flexible bands In these locally more rigid areas then folds appear when the portable electronic device is worn for example around the wrist. These folds are not only unsightly but can also damage electronic components or electrical connections inside the portable electronic device. In the most severe cases, the material of the flexible strips can tear at the folds, which leads to the irreversible destruction of the flexible electronic device.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a portable electronic device that has a smooth and uniform curvature when worn for example on the wrist of a user.
  • the present invention relates to a flexible portable electronic device as defined in claim 1.
  • the reinforcing element is provided with a rigidity which varies between the rigidity of the first zone and the rigidity of the second zone between which it makes the connection.
  • the flexible body is provided with a rigidity which is a function of the shape or the thickness of the reinforcing element or the nature of the material in which the element of reinforcement.
  • the present invention provides a flexible portable electronic device in which the reinforcing element makes it possible to make the transition between a rigid zone corresponding to an electronic component of the electronic information-processing assembly and a zone more flexible corresponding to the flexible body material of the flexible portable electronic device.
  • the reinforcing element can provide the connection between two consecutive rigid areas and spaced apart.
  • the present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of providing a flexible portable electronic device which is in the form of a flexible body intended to be worn, for example, around a wrist of a user, and which is distinguished by the absence of folds in the material in which the flexible body is made.
  • the present invention teaches to provide a reinforcing element between a high stiffness zone corresponding to the presence of an electronic component and a lower stiffness zone corresponding to the material of the flexible body.
  • the single figure appended to the present patent application is a perspective and exploded view of the flexible portable electronic device according to the invention.
  • the portable electronic device is flexible and is intended to be worn around a portion of a body of a user such as a wrist.
  • the device portable electronics 1 comprises a flexible body 2 which has substantially the shape of a band or bracelet and which consists of a lower flexible band 4 and an upper flexible band 6.
  • the lower flexible band 4 can be realized in any plastic material such as an elastomer.
  • the upper flexible band 6 is in the form of a sealed plastic film secured to a perimeter 8 of the lower flexible band 4.
  • the attachment of the upper flexible band 6 to the lower flexible band 4 can be done in any appropriate manner as gluing or thermo-welding. According to one variant, the upper flexible band 6 can be secured to the entire surface of the lower flexible band 4.
  • the portable electronic device 1 has the function of being able to at least produce information and, in the preferred example, to elaborate and display such information.
  • the portable electronic device 1 comprises at least one electronic assembly 10 for producing information mounted on the lower flexible band 4, on the side where the upper flexible band 6 is fixed.
  • the lower flexible band 4 presents, at a location of its length, a housing 12 in which is disposed the electronic assembly 10 for developing and displaying information.
  • the electronic assembly 10 for producing and displaying information comprises a flexible display device 14 such as a liquid crystal display cell or a display cell.
  • the printed circuit board 18 furthermore carries the various discrete and integrated electronic components 20 required for the proper functioning of the portable electronic device 1 such as, in particular, an electronic printed circuit board 18, mounted on an upper surface 16 of a printed circuit board 18. time base.
  • the assembly is completed by a flexible battery 22 arranged on the side of a lower face 24 of the printed circuit board 18, in the housing 12 provided for this purpose in the lower flexible band 4.
  • the portable electronic device 1 is intended to be worn around a part of a body of a user such as the wrist.
  • the portable electronic device 1 must therefore be curved to fit the substantially circular profile of the wrist of the user.
  • the various electronic components that constitute the electronic assembly 10, namely the display device 14, the printed circuit board 18 and the battery 22 must therefore have a certain flexibility.
  • these various electronic components have a rigidity greater than the rigidity of the lower flexible strips 4 and 6 which make up the flexible body 2 of the portable electronic device 1.
  • locally local areas are formed. rigid at the junction between two of these electronic components or at the junction between one of these electronic components and the softer material of the flexible strips.
  • junction zones designated by the arrow A between the ends of the printed circuit board 18 and the flexible body 2 of the portable electronic device 1.
  • these junction areas may then appear folds when the portable electronic device 1 is worn for example around the wrist. These folds are not only unsightly, but can also damage electronic components or electrical connections inside the portable electronic device 1.
  • the material of the lower flexible bands 4 and upper 6. may tear at the location of the folds, which leads to the irreversible destruction of the portable electronic device 1 flexible.
  • a first and a second reinforcing member 26a and 26b are disposed between the printed circuit board 18 and the flexible battery 22.
  • these first and second reinforcing elements 26a and 26b make it possible to ensure the transition between the flexible battery 22 and the wafer circuit board 18 which is larger than the flexible battery 22.
  • the first and second reinforcing elements 26a and 26b thus make it possible to ensure the transition between a zone of first rigidity corresponding to the flexible battery 22 and a second zone. the stiffness corresponding to the printed circuit board 18.
  • These reinforcing elements 26a and 26b can be indifferently attached to the printed circuit board 18, the flexible battery 22 or one of the lower flexible strips 4 or upper 6.
  • first and second reinforcing members 26a and 26b extend beyond the geometric limits of the printed circuit board 18 in the longitudinal direction of the portable electronic device 1. More specifically, the first and second reinforcing members 26a and 26b substantially have an arrow shape which tapers as one moves away from the transverse edges 28 of the printed circuit board 18.
  • the first and second members of reinforcement 26a and 26b thus also make it possible to ensure the transition between an area of first rigidity corresponding to the printed circuit board 18 and an area of second rigidity corresponding to the material of the flexible body 2 of the portable electronic device 1.
