    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display and a rear housing. A coating may be formed on an inner surface of a display cover layer for the display or on an inner surface of the rear housing. The coating may include one or more inorganic layers such as inorganic layers in a thin-film interference filter or other layer of material. A buffer layer having a polymer with adhesion promotion additive and embedded silicon oxide particles may be interposed between the coating and a glass layer forming the rear housing or between a patterned indium tin oxide coating on a display cover layer and an adhesive layer that attaches a pixel array to the display cover layer.

    Abstract: A cover glass assembly comprises a sheet having a first surface and a second surface below the first surface. The second surface comprises a textured portion. The cover glass assembly also includes a pigment layer below the textured portion, and a mirror layer below the pigment layer. The textured portion diffusely reflects a first portion of light that enters the cover glass assembly through the first surface. The pigment layer diffusely reflects a second portion of the light. The mirror layer reflects, onto the pigment layer, a third portion of the light. The cover glass assembly provides a high-luminance surface. A method of forming the cover glass assembly is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10b) may be provided with optical markers (40). A marker may be formed from a coating (62). The coating (62) may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device (10b). A device (10a) with a sensor (36) such as a depth sensor or other sensor may gather information on the electronic device (10b) and its markers. This information may include information on images captured with an image sensor while the electronic device (10b) is illuminated by one or more light beams from the depth sensor or other light sources. Markers may be configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers (40) in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device (10b).

    Abstract: An electronic device (10) may be provided with optical markers (80). A marker may be formed from a coating (62). The coating (62) may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device (10). A device with a sensor (36) such as a depth sensor or other sensor may gather information on the electronic device (10) and its markers. This information may include information on images captured with an image sensor while the electronic device (10) is illuminated by one or more light beams from the depth sensor or other light sources. Markers maybe configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers (80) in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device.
