    Abstract: A portable (e.g., laptop) computer, comprises upper and lower housing structures (12A, 12B: Figure 1) coupled by a hinge, a display (14) in the upper housing structure including a colour filter (CF) layer 60, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer 52, and an opaque masking layer 138; the opaque, light blocking shielding layer 138 is interposed between the color filter (CF) and thin-film transistor (TFT) layers, and blocks inactive peripheral portions of the display from view. The opaque masking layer is formed in a border around the periphery of the display, and has an opening 140, an image sensing camera 102 in the upper housing structure receiving light through the opening. The opaque, light shielding layer may comprise a black ink layer, and can be formed on a top or a lower surface of the colour filter (CF) layer, which may be a colour filter glass substrate.

    Abstract: Die beschriebenen Ausführungsformen beziehen sich im allgemeinen auf Computergeräte einschließlich Flüssigkristallanzeigen (LCDs), und insbesondere auf Verfahren zum Anbringen einer Hintergrundbeleuchtungsvorrichtung auf einer Deckglasschicht bei gleichzeitiger Minimierung einer Spannung, die durch die Deckglasschicht auf das LCD-Modul übertragen wird. Ein kontinuierlicher und nachgiebiger Schaumklebstoff kann dazu verwendet werden, diese Glasdeckschicht mit der Hintergrundbeleuchtungsvorrichtung zu verkleben. Das nachgiebige Klebeband kann lokale Spannungskonzentrationen, die durch strukturelle Lasten, fehlangepasste Oberflächen und unterschiedliche Wärmeausdehnungsraten zwischen verschiedenen Strukturen und der Deckglasschicht verursacht werden, absorbieren und verteilen. Damit können Spannungskonzentrationen in der Deckglasschicht verringert werden, welche zu spannungsinduzierter Doppelbrechung in der LCD-Zelle führen können. In einer anderen Ausführungsform kann eine Reihe von starren Platten mit der Deckglasschicht verklebt und an die Hintergrundbeleuchtungsvorrichtung angebracht werden. Punktlasten, die von der Hintergrundbeleuchtungsvorrichtung aufgebracht werden, können aufgrund der Widerstandsfähigkeit der starren Platten über einen größeren Bereich verteilt werden.

    Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure A camera may be mounted under a display in an electronic device. The display may include a polarizer layer, a color filter layer, and a thin-film-transistor 5 layer. A layer of material such as a glass insert may be attached to an edge of the display. Openings may be formed in the layers of the display and the insert to accommodate the camera. A sleeve structure may be mounted within an opening. The camera may include lens structures formed from 10 a stack of lens elements. One or more layers of the display may be interposed within the lens structures. The glass insert may be mounted within a notch in the color filter layer and thin-film transistor layer or along a straight edge of the color filter layer and thin-film transistor 15 layer. The edge of the color filter layer may be recessed with respect to form a mounting shelf for the insert.
