Patent ID: 8063310

Claim:
An electronic device, comprising: at least a first enclosure and a second enclosure, mounted so as to enable relative displacement therebetween, said first enclosure being slidable with respect to said second enclosure along a plane; and an electric wire which electrically connects a circuit for said first enclosure and a circuit of said second enclosure, wherein: said electric wire comprises at least one tape-shaped flat cable comprising a plurality of internal conductors arranged in parallel in a row; and said at least one flat cable has a cross-section having a U shape, the cross-section being taken in the same plane along which said first enclosure is slidable with respect to said second enclosure or in a plane parallel to the same plane along which said first enclosure is slidable with respect to said second enclosure, such that one end of said at least one flat cable does not overlap the other end of said at least one flat cable, wherein in a portion of said at least one flat cable bent into said U shape, said internal conductors of said at least one flat cable are aligned with one another along a direction substantially perpendicular to said plane along which said first enclosure is slidable with respect to said second enclosure.
