    Abstract: Methods for creating sapphire windows are provided herein. In particular, one embodiment may take the form of a method of manufacturing sapphire windows. The method includes obtaining a polished sapphire wafer and applying decoration to the sapphire wafer. The method also includes cutting the sapphire wafer into discrete windows. In some embodiments, the cutting step comprises laser ablation of the sapphire.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display (14) mounted in a housing. The display (14) may have an array of display pixels (86) that provide image light (44) to a user (48). The array of display pixels (86) may form an active display structure (46A) with a rectangular shape. The rectangular active display structure (46A) may be surrounded by an inactive border region (IA). Optical structures such optical fiber bundles, a sheet of glass, or other optical structures (134) may be used to guide display light to enlarge the apparent size (W) of the display and thereby minimize the inactive border region (IA) that surrounds the active area (AA) of the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10) is provided with a display (14) mounted in a housing (12). The display (14) has an array of display pixels (86) that provide light (112) to a user. The array of display pixels may form active display structures (46A) with a rectangular shape. The rectangular active display structures (46A) may be surrounded by an inactive border region (461). In one suitable embodiment, adjustable reflector structures (100) may be used to reflect light (L) emitted from peripheral portions of the active display structures (46A) to a portion (116) of the display overlapping the inactive border region (461), thereby providing the display with an effective active area that is larger than the area of the active display structures (46A). In another suitable embodiment, liquid crystal light distribution structures may be used to distribute light emitted from peripheral portions of the active display structures to a portion of the display overlapping the inactive border region, thereby increasing the apparent area of the display.
