Abstract
An electronic device may have a housing in which a touch screen display module is mounted. A cover glass may cover the touch screen display module. The touch screen display module may include display structures and touch sensor structures. A first cable may be connected to the display structures along an edge of the touch screen display module. A second cable may be connected to the touch sensor structures along another edge of the touch screen display module. The cables may be formed from flex circuits that are connected to the display module using heat-and-pressure-bondable conductive adhesive. A printed circuit board in electronic device may have connectors that receive the ends of the first and second flex circuits. The connectors may be located along a common edge of the printed circuit board to facilitate assembly of the touch screen display module within the housing of the electronic device.
