<p>A disposable portable electronic device has a body (22) of prescribed length and thickness and constructed of elongated, ribbon-like substrate (64) of dielectric material. The substrate has a contiuous length much greater than the length of the body and a thickness much less than the thickness of the body. Conductors and components are formed on the substrate. The dielectrical material of the substrate is folded upon itself into short lengths juxtaposed on one another within the thickness of the body, and the juxtaposed lengths of the substrate are secured together to establish a self-sustaining structure which forms the body of the device.</p> |
