Abstract
A mounting structure of a flexible printed circuit board and a sliding-type electronic device is provided by which a too large increase in thickness of devices can be avoided and a pair of housings can be slid relatively in a bending and slanting direction. In the mounting structure, an upper housingand a lower housingcoupled in a freely slidable manner are electrically connected to each other by a flexible printed circuit board folded back to be routed between slide facing surfacesandof both the housings and the height of a side wall surfaceandof the upper housing and lower housing changes in a bending manner along the direction of freely sliding and, in the slide facing surfaces of the upper housing and lower housing, concave space portionsandto accommodate the change in curvature and in position of a folding-back portioncaused by sliding motion between the upper housing and lower housing are disposed.
