Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising a data processing facility, a flexible panel, and a facility for arranging the flexible panel at least into an extended shape and into a compact shape, the flexible panel including: a flexible substrate; a display structure responsive to output signals from the data processing facility, wherein the display structure covers a display portion of the substrate and leaves an extending portion of the substrate uncovered, and wherein the display structure comprises a plurality of electrodes driven by thin film transistors in a thin film transistor layer; a touch sensitive structure arranged over the display structure for providing input signals to the data processing facility indicative of a change of capacitance at a position where a pointing device approaches the panel, wherein the touch sensitive structure comprises a first layer, an electrically conductive structure formed in the first layer, and a second electrically isolating layer, the first layer being arranged between the second electrically isolating layer and the display structure, wherein the electrically conductive structure comprises at least a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor, the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor being mutually capacitively coupled, wherein the electrically conductive structure comprises a plurality of contact portions in the first layer; and a plurality of contacts disposed at an edge of the extending portion of the substrate; and wherein the extending portion of the substrate includes a plurality of electrically conducting elements respectively extending across the extending portion of the substrate to the display structure and up to the first layer of the touch sensitive structure to respectively physically connect and electrically couple one of the contacts to a respective one of the contact portions.
