Patent ID: 7267555

Claim:
A method for use in an electrical connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device, the first electronic device comprising a plurality of first electrical connection terminals with a first spacing between adjacent terminals, the second electronic device comprising a plurality of second electrical connection terminals with a second spacing between adjacent terminals greater than the first spacing, wherein the electrical connection comprises a plurality of electrical conductors arranged in a connection pattern for allowing each conductor to connect a first electrical connection terminal to a corresponding second electrical connection terminal, the connection pattern having a first end near the first electronic device, a second end near the second electronic device, two side areas between the first and second ends, and a middle area between the side areas, said method comprising the steps of: spreading the electrical conductors outwardly in a first fan-out section near the first end of the connection pattern in order to increase the spacing between adjacent conductors to a third spacing greater than the first spacing; extending the electrical conductors toward the second end in an intermediate section of the connection pattern; and spreading the electrical conductors from the intermediate section outwardly in a second fan-out section toward the second end of the connection pattern in order to further increase the spacing between adjacent conductors to a fourth spacing greater than the third spacing, wherein at least some of the electrical conductors in the middle section of the connection pattern are provided in a winding pattern at least between the first fan-out section and the second fan-out section in order to increase the length of said at least some electrical conductors.
