Patent ID: 6969263

Claim:
A mobile electronic device, comprising a first and a second structure, and an electrical connector assembly to connect at least one electrical contact pad on said first structure with at least one electrical contact pad on said second structure, said electrical connector assembly comprising a body having at least one pair of electrical connectors extending therefrom, said body, in combination with a frame, being mountable in the frame between the first and second structures for the electrical connectors to engage electrical contact pads on the first and second structures, the at least one pair of electrical connectors comprising a longitudinally extending common portion having two arms extending at an angle from the common portion, said at least one pair of electrical connectors being of a springy metal and configured to be biased against the contact pads when the connector assembly is assembled with the first and second structures, with the frame having top and bottom sides having means for engaging and aligning the first and second structures, one on each side of the frame such that the first and second structures are opposing one another, wherein the first structure is an electroluminescent panel and the second structure is a printed circuit board, wherein the electroluminescent panel has at least one electrical contact pad thereon adjacent a normal edge of the panel, with a tab portion defined adjacent the at least one said electrical contact pad, the tab portion extending outwardly from the normal edge of the panel by a distance d, where the distance d is sufficient to permit placement of the electrical contact pad with an outer edge of the electrical contact pad generally aligned with the normal edge of the panel.
