    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be formed from liquid crystal display pixels, organic light-emitting diode pixels, or other pixels. The display may have an active area that is bordered along at least one edge by an inactive area. The active area contains pixels and displays images. The inactive area does not contain any pixels and does not display images. The inactive area may have a layer of black ink or other masking material to block internal components from view. The active area may have an opening that contains an isolated portion of the inactive area or may contain a recess into which a portion of the inactive area protrudes. An electrical component such as a speaker, camera, light-emitting diode, light sensor, or other electrical device may be mounted in the inactive area in the recess or opening of the active area.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10), comprising a display (14) that includes a polarizer (62) with an opening, a sleeve (146) that passes through the opening, and a camera (22) having lens structures (126) that are at least partly contained within the sleeve (146). The display (14) comprises a thin-film-transistor layer (52) and a color filter layer (60). The electronic device (10) further comprises a layer of glass (180) that is attached to the display (14), wherein the layer of glass (180) has an opening through which the lens structures (126) and the sleeve (146) pass. T he color filter layer (60) and the thin-film-transistor layers (52) have respective edges and wherein the edge of the color filter layer (60) is recessed with respect to the edge of the thin-film-transistor layer (52) to form a ledge (184) on which the layer of glass (180) is mounted.

    Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung 10 kann mit einer organischen Leuchtdiodenanzeige 14 mit minimierten Rahmenregionen IA bereitgestellt werden. Die Rahmenregionen IA können minimiert werden, indem die Anzeige mit gebogenen Kantenteilen 56 bereitgestellt wird, die neutrale Ebenen-Anpassungsmerkmale 58 aufweisen, die ein Biegen der gebogenen Kantenteile vereinfachen, während gleichzeitig eine Beschädigung der gebogenen Kantenteile minimiert wird. Die neutralen Ebenen-Anpassungsmerkmale können eine modifizierte Rückfilmschicht 52 der Anzeige beinhalten, bei welcher Teile der Rückfilmschicht in einer Biegeregion entfernt werden. Eine Anzeigevorrichtung kann ein Substrat, ein Anzeigefeld auf dem Substrat aufweisend Anzeigepixel und periphere Schaltungen, benachbart zum Anzeigefeld und eingerichtet zum Betreiben der Anzeigepixel, aufweisen. Ein Teil der Peripherie des Substrats kann im Wesentlichen orthogonal zum Anzeigefeld gebogen werden, um einen ersichtlichen Oberflächenbereich der Anzeigevorrichtung zu verringern. Der gebogene Teil kann eine Elektrode zur Kommunikation mit den peripheren Schaltungen beinhalten.

    Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann eine Flüssigkristallanzeige mit Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen aufweisen. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen können Hintergrundlicht erzeugen, welches durch ein Array von Anzeigepixeln tritt. Die Anzeigepixel können Elektrodenstrukturen und Dünnfilmtransistorstrukturen umfassen zum Steuern von elektrischen Feldern in einer Schicht von Flüssigkristallmaterial. Das Flüssigkristallmaterial kann gebildet sein zwischen einer äußeren Anzeigeschicht und einer inneren Anzeigeschicht. Die innere Anzeigeschicht kann zwischen den Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen und dem Flüssigkristallmaterial eingefügt sein. Die Dünnfilmtransistorstrukturen, Elektroden und leitfähigen Verbindungsleitungen können in einer Schicht auf der inneren Oberfläche der äußeren Anzeigeschicht abgeschieden werden. Eine Schicht von Farbfilterelementen kann verwendet werden, um der Anzeige Farbpixel bereitzustellen. Die Farbfilterelemente können gebildet sein auf der Oberseite der Dünnfilmtransistorschicht oder auf einem separaten Farbfilterarraysubstrat, wie beispielsweise der inneren Anzeigeschicht.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10), comprising a display (14) that includes a polarizer (62) with an opening, a sleeve (146) that passes through the opening, and a camera (22) having lens structures (126) that are at least partly contained within the sleeve (146). The display (14) comprises a thin-film-transistor layer (52) and a color filter layer (60). The electronic device (10) further comprises a layer of glass (180) that is attached to the display (14), wherein the layer of glass (180) has an opening through which the lens structures (126) and the sleeve (146) pass. T he color filter layer (60) and the thin-film-transistor layers (52) have respective edges and wherein the edge of the color filter layer (60) is recessed with respect to the edge of the thin-film-transistor layer (52) to form a ledge (184) on which the layer of glass (180) is mounted.

    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a display having a colour filter layer 60 and a thin-film-transistor (TFT) layer 52, each layer having an opening or aperture 190. The device further comprises an insert layer 180 having a camera window 130 is mounted over the opening, and a camera 22 having lens structures 126 aligned with camera window. The camera would be integrated into the device and mounted underneath the display. The insert layer may be a layer of glass. The insert layer may be mounted onto a ledge or shelf 184, the ledge being formed on top of the TFT layer at a portion (a recess) where the colour filter is not located. The display may further comprise a polariser 62 mounted to the colour filter layer. The polariser might an opaque masking layer 192, and this layer has an opening aligned with the camera window. The polariser may be depolarised in a region 132 aligned with the opaque masking layer opening.

    Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may have a display. Inactive portions of the display such as peripheral portions of the display may be masked using an opaque masking layer. An 5 opening may be provided in the opaque masking layer to allow light to pass. For example, a logo may be viewed through an opening in the opaque masking layer and a camera may receive light through an opening in the opaque masking layer. The display may include upper and lower polarizers, a color 10 filter layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. The opaque masking layer may be formed on the upper polarizer, may be interposed between the upper polarizer and the color filter layer, or may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The upper polarizer may 15 have unpolarized windows for cameras, logos, or other internal structures.
