1. A foldaway electronic device comprising:
a base unit having opposing lateral surfaces and an end portion;
a cover unit having opposing lateral surfaces, each of which corresponds to one of the lateral surfaces of the base unit,
and an end portion that is rotatably attached to the end portion of the base unit, whereby the cover unit may be rotated between
a folded position relative to the base unit and an unfolded position relative to the base unit; and
a flexible cable extending between the base unit and the cover unit via the respective end portions thereof,
the flexible cable having a flexible base, a conductor pattern forming an inner conductor and a conductor pattern forming
an outer conductor, the conductor patterns being added to a signal transmission pattern atop the flexible base, a portion
of the flexible base being disposed between the conductor pattern that forms the inner conductor and the conductor pattern
that forms the outer conductor so as to form an inner insulator.
