Abstract
The liquid crystal display of a portable computer is pivotally mounted with respect to a base fixed to the computer chassis. The pivot mount is effected by means of a pivot shaft arrangement that operates, in addition, to secure the opposite end portions of a circuit strip extending between and electrically connecting the terminals on the display and the base, respectively. The pivot shaft is axially split to secure an intermediate portion of the circuit strip whereby that portion of the circuit strip that extends from the base is windingly received on the exterior of the shaft to accommodate pivotal movement of the display. The other end of the strip is secured within the split segments of the shaft and extends axially therefrom within the display housing.
