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: An edge lit backlight unit 104 for a display is provided. In one embodiment, the backlight unit may include a light guide 106 configured to receive light from a source 108 and emit such light in a broad distribution 116 to a turning film 120 disposed over the light guide. The turning film 120 may be configured to redirect light received from the light guide toward a normal of the turning film. In one embodiment, the light guide may be configured such that peak light distribution therefrom occurs at an incident angle of approximately sixty degrees, with broad light distribution substantially occurring over an angular range between incident angles of thirty-five and eighty-five degrees. Additionally, in one embodiment, the turning film (120) may include multiple prisms (118) that receive and redirect the light emitted from the light guide (106), and that include apex angles of about sixty degrees. Additional edge-lit backlight units and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann eine Flüssigkristallanzeige mit Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen aufweisen. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen können Hintergrundlicht erzeugen, welches durch ein Array von Anzeigepixeln tritt. Die Anzeigepixel können Elektrodenstrukturen und Dünnfilmtransistorstrukturen umfassen zum Steuern von elektrischen Feldern in einer Schicht von Flüssigkristallmaterial. Das Flüssigkristallmaterial kann gebildet sein zwischen einer äußeren Anzeigeschicht und einer inneren Anzeigeschicht. Die innere Anzeigeschicht kann zwischen den Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen und dem Flüssigkristallmaterial eingefügt sein. Die Dünnfilmtransistorstrukturen, Elektroden und leitfähigen Verbindungsleitungen können in einer Schicht auf der inneren Oberfläche der äußeren Anzeigeschicht abgeschieden werden. Eine Schicht von Farbfilterelementen kann verwendet werden, um der Anzeige Farbpixel bereitzustellen. Die Farbfilterelemente können gebildet sein auf der Oberseite der Dünnfilmtransistorschicht oder auf einem separaten Farbfilterarraysubstrat, wie beispielsweise der inneren Anzeigeschicht.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to speakers and more specifically to an array speaker for distributing music uniformly across a room. A number of audio drivers can be radially distributed within a speaker housing so that an output of the drivers is distributed evenly throughout the room. In some embodiments, the exit geometry of the audio drivers can be configured to bounce off a surface supporting the array speaker to improve the distribution of music throughout the room. The array speaker can include a number of vibration isolation elements distributed within a housing of the array speaker. The vibration isolation elements can be configured reduce the strength of forces generated by a subwoofer of the array speaker.

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: Elektronische Vorrichtungen können mit Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen bereitgestellt werden, die eine Hintergrundbeleuchtung für eine Anzeige bereitstellen. Die Hintergrundbeleuchtungsstrukturen beinhalten eine Lichtquelle, wie z. B. eine Anordnung lichtemittierender Dioden, die eine Lichtquelle in eine Kante einer Lichtführungsplatte startet. Die Lichtführungsplatte verteilt das Licht lateral entlang der Anzeigeschichten in der Anzeige. Ein oder mehr optische Filme, wie z. B. Helligkeitsverbesserungsfilme und Diffusorschichten werden zwischen die Anzeigeschichten und die Lichtführungsplatte zwischengeschaltet. Die Lichtführungsplatte beinhaltet Lichtführungsplattenausrichtungsmerkmale, die mit entsprechenden Ausrichtungsmerkmalen des optischen Films in den optischen Filmen zusammenfügen. Die Lichtführungsplattenausrichtungsmerkmale können Vorsprünge sein, die sich in Öffnungen, wie z. B. Kerben oder Löcher, in den optischen Filmen erstrecken. Die Lichtführungsplatte kann einen herausragenden Anteil aufweisen, der sich um eine Peripherie der Lichtführungsplatte herum erstreckt und einen Umfang der optischen Filme umgibt.
