em) is commercially available. In this foldable terminal, since the two housings are connected by a hinge, it is necessary to connect them by a flexible printed circuit board. by the way,
The width of the flexible printed circuit board cannot be increased due to miniaturization of the terminal itself. Furthermore, in order to prevent damage such as disconnection due to opening and closing, the hinge portion of the flexible printed circuit board is spirally wound (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 1-1-1).
