    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: An electronic device may have a housing with a lid (12A) that rotates relative to a base (12B). A display in the lid may have a thin-film transistor layer. Display driver circuitry may be mounted to the thin-film transistor layer. A display timing controller integrated circuit (34) may be mounted in the base. A rigid flex printed circuit may have a rigid portion in the base (90-4) to which the display timing controller integrated circuit is mounted and may have a rigid portion in the lid (90-2). A flexible printed circuit portion (90-1) of the rigid flex printed circuit may be used to couple the rigid printed circuit portion in the lid to the thin-film transistor layer. A flexible printed circuit portion (90-3) of the rigid flex printed circuit that extends between the lid and the base may be formed from a double-shield-layer single-signal-line-layer flexible printed circuit.
