  • Patent number: 11271290
    Abstract: A ring type wearable terminal is provided with a ring and a communication unit that is housed in the ring. The communication unit is provided with a ring-shaped flexible substrate. The flexible substrate is provided with a bonding portion formed such that the bonding portion can be bonded at a plurality of different positions in a longitudinal direction in accordance with the size of the ring. By changing a bonding position of the bonding portion, the diameter of the flexible substrate formed in a ring shape can match the size of the ring. Thereby, a single flexible substrate can be used for a ring of multiple sizes, and an increase in the manufacturing cost when offering a size range of multiple sizes can thus be prevented.
