Key Functions of Flex within a Typical Smartphone

• Flex makes connections to:– Audio/Speakers

– Keypad

– Side keys

– Headset jack

– Volume controls

– Motherboard

– Wi-Fi module

– Vibration controls

– Piezo tactile display

• Reduces packaging size—Allows

components to be put on the flex,

thereby shrinking the size of the

motherboard
