Abstract:
1. A collapsible cellular terminal apparatus comprising: an upper apparatus and a lower apparatus which are connected so as to be folded via a hinge portion, first and second printed circuit boards arranged, respectively, in the upper apparatus and the lower apparatus, a flexible printed circuit board and a connection cable for connecting the first and second printed circuit boards, and a water-proof structure for sealing the boundary between the hinge portion and the upper and the lower apparatus, wherein the flexible printed circuit board and the connection cable pass through the water-proof structure at positions that are separated from each other by an undivided portion of the water-proof structure, wherein the flexible printed circuit board defines a plane where it passes through the water-proof structure and the connection cable is spaced from the plane by a non-zero distance, and wherein the undivided portion of the water-proof structure closely seals the space between the flexible printed circuit board and the connection cable.
