    Abstract: An electronic device display may include display layers mounted in a display chassis (48). The display chassis may have a plastic chassis structure (50) and a metal chassis structure (52). Backlight structures may include a rectangular light guide plate. Light-emitting diodes within the backlight structures may emit light that is coupled into the light guide plate. The display chassis may have four edges that surround a rectangular opening. The rectangular opening may be configured to receive display layers such as the light guide plate. The metal chassis (52) may have a C-shaped cross-section that forms a cavity in which the light-emitting diodes are mounted. The metal chassis structure may have engagement features such as holes and bent tabs. The plastic chassis structure may be overmolded on the metal chassis structure in engagement with the engagement features. Mounting structures (70) may be formed from protruding portions of the plastic chassis structure (50).

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display having a flexible substrate (60) with bent edges (58). The flexible substrate may have a planar active region (54) that includes an array of light - emitting elements such as organic light - emitting diodes with associated control lines. The flexible substrate may also have inactive regions that lie outside of the active region. The bent edges may be formed from portions of the flexible substrate in the inactive regions. Traces (62) for distributing control signals to the control lines in the active region may be formed in the inactive regions. Corner openings may be formed at the corners of the flexible substrate to accommodate bending of the flexible substrate in the inactive regions. A jumper (76) or a portion of the flexible substrate that lies outside of a corner opening may be used to convey signals between traces on adjoining inactive regions.

The flexible glass layers (50) may be laminated to other sheets of material (52-62) in the polarizer structures (48) using roll-to-roll lamination equipment. After the polarizer structures (48) are cut into panels, the panels may be laminated to liquid crystal display structures, organic light-emitting-diode display structures or other display structures using sheet-to-sheet lamination tools. Ultraviolet-light-blocking material (52) may be incorporated into a display to prevent damage to the polarizer layers (54) in the polarizer structures (48). Coatings (68) such as antireflection coatings, antistatic coating, and anti-smudge coatings may be provided on the polarizer structures (48). Displays may use the flexible glass layers (50) and additional protective layers to prevent a polarizer layer (54) from being exposed to excessive moisture. A birefringent layer (62) may be incorporated into a display and may serve as a protective layer for a polarizer (54).

    Abstract: A display device (10) has a thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate ("layer" 14B). One or more holes (50A) in the TFT substrate act as ducts for conductive bridges (56) connecting display circuitry (53) on the TFT substrate to a printed cirucit (58) circuitry located underneath the substrate. The conductive bridges may be formed using wire bonding. The wire bonds may be encapsulated with potting material to improve their reliability and to increase the resiliency of the display. Display signal lines fed through the holes (50A) in the TFT substrate, run along the underside of the display (14) so that the amount of space required for display circuitry at the display edge is reduced. Alternatively, contact is achieved by depositing a conducting material in the hole, in conjunction with wire bonds and flexible circuits. Display types can include LCD, OLED, plasma, electronic ink, electrochromic, and electrowetting technologies.
