Z-fold multi-element substrate structure
First Claim
1. A folded micro-wire substrate structure, comprising:
- a transparent folded flexible substrate having a first side and a second side opposed to the first side, the flexible substrate having a first portion and a second portion adjacent to the first portion of the flexible substrate;
the flexible substrate having at least a first fold between the first and second portions so that the first portion is aligned with the second portion in a direction perpendicular to the first and second portions of the flexible substrate;
one or more electrical conductors located in or on the flexible substrate;
at least one electrical component located on or in the flexible substrate in the first portion; and
at least one optical element located on or in the flexible substrate in the second portion located so that the optical element directs light to or from the electrical component.

Abstract
A folded micro-wire substrate structure includes a transparent folded flexible substrate having a first side and a second side opposed to the first side. The flexible substrate has a first portion and a second portion adjacent to the first portion of the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate has at least a first fold between the first and second portions so that the first portion is aligned with the second portion in a perpendicular direction. One or more electrical conductors is located in or on the flexible substrate, at least one electrical component is located on or in the flexible substrate in the first portion. At least one optical element is located on or in the flexible substrate in the second portion located so that the optical element directs light to or from the electrical component.
