Abstract
A flexible interconnect for electrically connecting a display unit to a data processing unit to facilitate transmission of low voltage differential signals and inhibit electromagnetic interference (EMI). The flexible interconnect includes a conductive layer extending along a plane and an upper and lower insulative layer above and below the conductive layer. The interconnect includes an upper and lower shield layer above and below the upper and lower insulative layer. The flexible interconnect layers form first and second opposing sides orthogonal to the plane of the conductive layer. The interconnect also includes at least two conductive shield members that face the first and second opposing sides of the flexible interconnect layers. The two conductive shield members electrically connect the upper and lower shield layer on each opposing side such that the conductive shield members and the shield layers inhibit EMI about the length of the flexible interconnect.
