ABSTRACT:
A hinge for an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a first half and a second half. The hinge includes a rigid, multi-layer printed wiring board capable of being electrically coupled to the first half of the electronic device, and a flexible circuit electrically connected to the printed wiring board and capable of being electrically coupled to the second half of the electronic device. The printed wiring board is fixed relative to the first half. When the second half of the electronic device is moved relative to the first half, the flexible circuit winds and unwinds.
