Abstract
A flexible portable electronic device capable of generating information includes a flexible body configured to be attached to a part of a user's body, the flexible body including a lower flexible band that gives the flexible portable electronic device thickness and mechanical resistance and an upper flexible band fixed to the lower flexible band, and an electronic assembly to generate information, the electronic assembly being housed between the lower flexible band and the upper flexible band. At least two successive bellows each including at least one fold are separated from each other by a transverse reinforcing element at one location on a length of the lower flexible band. The reinforcing element extends transversely to a longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body and is secured to the lower flexible band. The bellows are configured to compress and relax along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the flexible body.
