Patent ID: 8588566

Claim:
An electronic apparatus, comprising: a first body on which a plurality of electronic components is mounted; a second body connected to the first body such that the second body moves relatively to the first body; and a flexible cable configured to transmit signals between the first body and the second body and comprising an optical waveguide forming body comprising a resin material, wherein the optical waveguide forming body is formed in a belt shape or a linear shape, the flexible cable has a deforming section that undergoes bending deformation in conjunction with relative movement of the second body relative to the first body, the optical waveguide forming body has at least one core portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide forming body, a plurality of cladding portions having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the core portion and an internal air cladding portion positioned in contact with the core portion in the deforming section of the flexible cable, the internal air cladding portion has at least one air layer extending in the longitudinal direction of the optical waveguide forming body, and the air layer of the internal air cladding portion is positioned such that the air layer is on an outer circumferential side of the core portion when the bending deformation is applied to the deforming section.
