Abstract

A mobile electronic device with enhanced laminate construction is disclosed. The device 10 can include: a housing 150 including a front housing 34 and a rear housing 86 ; a user interface 62 connected to the front housing 34 ; and a stack module 152 including a printed circuit board 28 including an outwardly facing side 154 and an inwardly facing side 156 , an electronic component 48 attached to the inwardly facing side 156 and a battery 32 attached with laminate 162 to the electronic component 48 . Advantageously, this provides a durable low profile multilayer construction for use in connection with mobile electronic devices desired by users.

Claims (21)

1. A mobile electronic device with enhanced laminate construction, comprising:

a housing including a front housing and a rear housing;

a user interface connected to the front housing; and

a stack module including a multi-layer construction comprising a printed circuit board including an outwardly facing side and an inwardly facing side, an electronic component attached to the inwardly facing side, wherein the electronic component includes a plurality of integrated circuits being enclosed by a shield, and a battery attached with laminate to the shield, wherein the printed circuit board extends beyond the stack module to receive other components.

2. A mobile electronic device in accordance with claim 1 wherein the user interface includes a touch screen display.

3. A mobile electronic device in accordance with claim 1 wherein the user interface includes a touch screen display including a lens bonded to a display.
