Abstract: There is provided an electronic device (100) comprising a glass housing member (150). The glass housing member (150) comprising: a first glass sheet (1050a) defining a continuous front exterior surface (151) of the glass housing member (150); and a second glass sheet (1050b) defining a rear exterior surface (161) of the glass housing member (150). The first glass sheet and the second glass sheet defining: an upper portion (152) of the glass housing member and defining a display area; a lower portion (154) of the glass housing member, positioned at an oblique angle with respect to the upper portion, and defining an input area; and a transition portion (156) defining a curved region of the glass housing member extending between the upper portion (152) and the lower portion (154). The glass housing member is configured to bend, in the transition portion, in response to the lower portion being articulated between a first angular position relative to the upper portion and a second angular position relative to the upper portion. The electronic device further comprising a display (1090a) positioned between the first glass sheet (1050a) and the second glass sheet (1050b) and configured to provide a graphical output through the first glass sheet. The electronic device further comprising an input device (1090b) positioned between the first glass sheet (1050a) and the second glass sheet (1050b) and configured to detect an input through the first glass sheet.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be formed from liquid crystal display pixels, organic light-emitting diode pixels, or other pixels. The display may have an active area that is bordered along at least one edge by an inactive area. The active area contains pixels and displays images. The inactive area does not contain any pixels and does not display images. The inactive area may have a layer of black ink or other masking material to block internal components from view. The active area may have an opening that contains an isolated portion of the inactive area or may contain a recess into which a portion of the inactive area protrudes. An electrical component such as a speaker, camera, light-emitting diode, light sensor, or other electrical device may be mounted in the inactive area in the recess or opening of the active area.

Abstract: An electronic device (10) has a display (14) having an array of pixels (122) that form an active area (AA). The array of pixels (122) includes a first group of pixels that forms a first extended active area (AA-EL) and a second group of pixels that forms a second extended active area (AA-ER). First and second inactive areas (IA) in the display (14) accommodate input-output devices (136). The first and second inactive areas (IA) are located between the first and second extended active areas (AA-EL, AA-ER).
