Abstract

An electronic display may be provided in a cartridge that can be conveniently mated with a host device. The cartridge may comprise a touch display screen, driver and receiver circuits, an area contact array, and a molding encasing the cartridge except for a display viewing area and exposed contact points of the contact array. The contact array may provide an efficient interconnection interface to a host device, and this interface may be releasable for the case of a replaceable cartridge or module. By accepting less than optimal lifetime performance of the display screen but providing it inexpensively and in a module form that is easy to replace, lowered overall consumer costs may be achieved. Inexpensive manufacturing methods may comprise a roll-to-roll fabrication method for fabricating the touch display screen on a flexible substrate as well as transfer or injection molding of the cartridge.

Claims (8)

1. An electronic system comprising:

a case;

a battery that is co-extensive with an internal dimension of the case;

a printed circuit board assembly comprising semiconductor chips, the assembly co-extensive with the internal dimension of the case;

a touch display module that is co-extensive with the internal dimension of the case;

corresponding area contact arrays on each of the printed circuit board assembly and the touch display module; and

an anisotropic conductive film disposed between the corresponding area contact arrays, wherein the anisotropic conductive film is releasable from the area contact arrays after use in the system,

wherein the battery, the printed circuit board assembly and the touch display module are configured as planar elements that are stacked within the case.
