Abstract

A highly flexible, screened electrical line for high-frequency data transmission in swiveling display screens provides that the twisted and/or bundled single wires of the line are held by an aluminized nonwoven, and the nonwoven covering is finally surrounded by an outer sheath of silicone rubber.

Claims (31)

1. A flexible, screened electrical line for high-frequency data transmission in swiveling display screens, comprising:

at least two conductors for current supply and/or at least two conductors for data transmission;

a wire braid surrounding and holding together the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission with or without a non-woven fabric beneath the braid;

a wrapping of an electrically conducting metallized non-woven fabric covering the wire braid for optimizing shielding of the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission; and

an outer sheath of silicone rubber surrounding said metallized non-woven fabric.

2. The electrical line according the claim 1 , wherein the at least two conductors for data transmission are at least two pairs each including two twisted signal wires.

3. The electrical line according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a wrapping including a stretched and sintered tape or a film of a non-melt-processable fluoropolymer wrapping the at least two conductors for data transmission for insulation of the at least two conductors for data transmission.

4. The electrical line according to claim 3 , wherein the non-melt-processable fluoropolymer is a polytetrafluoroethylene.

5. The electrical line according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a melt-processable fluoropolymer wrapping covering the at least two conductors for current supply.

6. The electrical line according to claim 3 , wherein a ration of wall thicknesses of the wrapping of the at least two conductors for data transmission to a covering covering the wrapping is about 3:1.

7. The electrical line according to claim 2 , wherein each individual pair of conductors for data transmission is twisted with a different lay length.

8. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two conductors for current supply are stranded together with the at least two conductors for data transmission.

9. The electrical line according to claim 8 , further comprising: a melt-processable fluoropolymer insulating cover covering the at least two conductors for current supply.

10. The electrical line according to claim 1 , further comprising: a central filling strand around which the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission are twisted, the central filling strand including a stretched and sintered shaped strand of polytetrafluoroethylene.

11. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the outer sheath is a hot-vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber.

12. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the outer sheath is an LSR (liquid silicone rubber) rubber.

13. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the screened electrical line in a dynamic state has a flexibility at temperatures of −50° C. to +180° C. at a transmission frequency >800 MHz.

14. A method of using the electrical line according to claim 1 , comprising: transmitting a low-voltage/high-speed data signal (LVDS) over the conductors.

15. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting nonwoven fabric is impregnated with conducting materials.

16. The electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the conducting nonwoven fabric of the wrapping is a nonwoven fabric coated with a metal on one or both sides.

17. The electrical line according to claim 16 , wherein the metal for coating the nonwoven fabric is aluminum or silver.

18. The electrical line according to claim 16 , wherein the nonwoven fabric is coated with aluminum or silver by vapor deposition.

19. A flexible, screened electrical line for high-frequency data transmission in swiveling display screens, comprising:

at least two conductors for current supply and/or at least two conductors for data transmission;

a wire braid surrounding and holding together the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission with or without a non-woven fabric beneath the braid;

a wrapping of an electrically conducting metallized non-woven fabric covering the wire braid for optimizing shielding of the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission;

an outer sheath of silicone rubber surrounding said metallized non-woven fabric; and

a central filling strand around which the at least two conductors for current supply and/or the at least two conductors for data transmission are twisted, the central filling strand including a stretched and sintered shaped strand of polytetrafluoroethylene,

wherein the stretched and sintered shaped strand includes a polytetrafluoroethylene tape twisted into a strand.
