<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for routing an optical fiber through a bend so that the optical fiber can traverse a hinge or other mechanical connector having a bend radius smaller than the minimum bend radius of the optical fiber. <P>SOLUTION: An electronic device comprises a first and second components having a first circuit and a second circuit connected to each other with a flexible panel which has an optical fiber (20), respectively. The optical fiber traverses a curved route with a radial component around an axis (21), and has a longitudinal segment traversing a mechanical coupling between the components. The longitudinal segment has a component parallel to the axis. The longitudinal segment of the optical fiber remains within a radius (r) of the axis, which should be smaller than the minimum bend radius of the optical fiber. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
