An electronic device includes a flexible display and a device housing that defines a translation surface for the flexible display. A blade assembly is positioned between the flexible display and the translation surface. A rotor is positioned within a curvilinear section of the blade assembly and flexible display. A translation mechanism translates the blade assembly and flexible display between an extended position, a retracted position, and a peek position revealing an image capture device. A flexible substrate couples electronic circuit components in the device housing to other electronic circuit components carried by the blade assembly. A reverse-S-shaped bend of the flexible substrate expands when the blade assembly slides toward the extended position and contracts when the blade assembly slides toward the retracted position.
