    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.

    Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may have a display. Inactive portions of the display such as peripheral portions of the display may be masked using an opaque masking layer. An opening may be provided in the opaque masking layer to allow 5 light to pass. For example, a logo may be viewed through an opening in the opaque masking layer and a camera may receive light through an opening in the opaque masking layer. The display may include upper and lower polarizers, a color filter layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. The opaque 10 masking layer may be formed on the upper polarizer, may be interposed between the upper polarizer and the color filter layer, or may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The upper polarizer may have unpolarized windows for cameras, logos, or other 15 internal structures.

    Abstract: A camera (22) may be mounted under a display (14) in an electronic device (10). The display (14) may include a polarizer layer (62), a color filter layer (60), and a thin-film-transistor layer (52). A layer of material such as a glass insert (180) may be attached to an edge of the display (14). Openings (134,136,138,142) may be formed in the layers of the display (14) and the insert (180) to accommodate the camera (22). A sleeve structure (146) may be mounted within an opening. The camera (22) may include lens structures (126) formed from a stack of lens elements. One or more layers (126-2) of the display (14) may be interposed within the lens structures (126). The glass insert (180) may be mounted within a notch (190) in the color filter layer (60) and thin-film transistor layer (52) or along a straight edge of the color filter layer (60) and thin-film transistor layer (52). The edge of the color filter layer (60) may be recessed with respect to form a mounting shelf (184) for the insert (180).

    Abstract: An electronic device (such as a portable computer) comprises a display having layers 52, 60 and a camera with lens structures, wherein the lens structures comprises two portions 126-1, 126-3 and at least one layer of the display is interposed between the two portions of the lens structures. The portions of lens structures may comprise a plurality of lens elements [fig. 8, 127]. The layers of the display may comprise a colour filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. Also claimed [fig. 21] is an electronic device comprising a display having a colour filter layer 52 and a thin-film transistor layer 60 both of which have an opening. An insert layer 180 having a camera window 182 is mounted over the opening, where there is a camera having lens structures 126 aligned with the camera window. Further claimed [fig. 22] is an electronic device comprising a display that includes a polarizer 62 with an opening 182; a sleeve 150 that passes through the opening; and a camera having lens structures 126 that are at least partly contained within the sleeve.
