Abstract: An electronic device may have a liquid crystal display with backlight structures. The backlight structures may produce backlight that passes through an array of display pixels. The display pixels may include electrode structures and thin-film transistor structures for controlling electric fields in a layer of liquid crystal material. The liquid crystal material may be formed between an outer display layer and an inner display layer. The inner display layer may be interposed between the backlight structures and the liquid crystal material. Thin-film transistor structures, electrodes, and conductive interconnection lines may be deposited in a layer on the inner surface of the outer display layer. A layer of color filter elements may be used to provide the display with color pixels. The color filter elements may be formed on top of the thin-film transistor layer or on a separate color filter array substrate such as the inner display layer.

Abstract: An electronic device has a display (14) with an active region (28A) and an inactive region (28I). A polarizer (62) overlaps the active region (28A) and the inactive region (28I). The polarizer (62) has an unpolarized window (112) within the inactive region (281), where the unpolarized window (112) contains material from the polarizer (62).

Abstract: An edge-lit backlight unit for a display is provided. In one embodiment, the backlight unit may include a light guide configured to receive light from a source and emit such light in a broad distribution to a turning film disposed over the light guide. The turning film may be configured to redirect light received from the light guide toward a normal of the turning film. In one embodiment, the light guide may be configured such that peak light distribution therefrom occurs at an incident angle of approximately sixty degrees, with broad light distribution substantially occurring over an angular range between incident angles of thirty-five and eighty-five degrees. Additionally, in one embodiment, the turning film may include multiple prisms that receive and redirect the light emitted from the light guide, and that include apex angles of less than or about sixty degrees. Additional edge-lit backlight units and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A portable computer, e.g. lap-top, comprises: a display (14, Figure 1) in a hinged upper housing including a colour filter (CF) layer 60, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer 52, and at least one polarizer layer 62 having an (e.g. circular, 22, Figure 1) opening 112 from which portions of the polarizer layer have been removed, e.g. by bleaching using light (Figure 9) or liquid (118, Figure 15); a camera 102 in the upper housing receives light through the polarizer layer gap. An opaque masking layer 138 (ink, metallic, etc) may be provided in an inactive display border region, on top of the polariser or CF layer, or on a lower surface of the polariser or CF layer. Also claimed is a similar portable computer, comprising a display wherein the opaque masking layer is interposed between the CF and TFT layers, the opaque layer blocking inactive peripheral display portions from view; the opaque layer forms a border around the display, and has an opening, a camera receiving light through the opening. The display structure with integral, embedded camera inside may be applied to other portable devices, e.g. handheld devices (10, Figure 2).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to speakers and more specifically to an array speaker for distributing music uniformly across a room. A number of audio drivers can be radially distributed within a speaker housing so that an output of the drivers is distributed evenly throughout the room. In some embodiments, the exit geometry of the audio drivers can be configured to bounce off a surface supporting the array speaker to improve the distribution of music throughout the room. The array speaker can include a number of vibration isolation elements distributed within a housing of the array speaker. The vibration isolation elements can be configured reduce the strength of forces generated by a subwoofer of the array speaker.
