Abstract

A structure suitable for a portable information terminal or a wearable device is provided. In addition, an electronic device having a novel structure that can have various forms is provided. It is preferable that a buffer layer which absorbs a difference in the amount of change in form be provided between adjacent film substrates which overlap with each other. As the buffer layer, a gelled resin material, a rubber resin material, a liquid material, an air layer, or the like can be used. Furthermore, an optical film such as a polarizing film or a color filter may be used as the buffer layer. A plurality of buffer layers may be provided in an electronic device.

Claims (65)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first body having a curved portion;

a secondary battery over and in contact with the first body;

a control board in contact with the secondary battery;

a display portion having a curved portion over the control board; and

a protective film between the control board and the display portion,

wherein a microcomputer is mounted on the control board, and

wherein the control board is electrically connected to the secondary battery.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display portion comprises a pair of films and a light-emitting element between the pair of films.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary battery comprises an exterior body of a film.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the secondary battery has a curved portion, and
