    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. The pixels may have color filter elements such as red, green, and blue color filter elements. A layer of opaque material may be used to form a black matrix. The black matrix may have openings that receive the color filter elements. A backlight unit may produce backlight illumination for the display. A reflector layer may be interposed between the black matrix and the backlight unit. The reflector layer may have openings aligned with the openings in the black matrix and the color filter elements and may overlap the black matrix. Some of the backlight from the backlight unit may pass through the color filter elements. Other backlight may by be recycled by being reflected off of the reflector layer, thereby enhancing backlight efficiency.

    Abstract: A display may be provided with a color filter layer. The display may have a thin-film transistor layer and a layer of liquid crystal material that is interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The color filter layer may include an array of color filter elements on a transparent substrate. The color filter elements may be formed from colored photoresist. An inorganic layer may be deposited on the color filter elements. An opaque matrix such a black matrix formed from black photoresist may be formed on the inorganic layer. The color photoresist color filter elements may be rectangular and may be arranged on the transparent substrate in a rectangular array. The black matrix may contain an array of rectangular openings. Each of the openings of the black matrix may be aligned with a corresponding one of the color filter elements.

    Abstract: A display may have a layer of liquid crystal material between a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. Column spacer structures may be formed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer to maintain a desired separation between the color filter and thin-film transistor layers. The column spacer structures may be formed from polymer structures such as photoresist pillars and may include metal pads. The metal pads may be formed on the upper surface of the thin-film transistor layer or the lower surface of the color filter layer. The photoresist pillars may be formed on a surface in the display such as the lower surface of the color filter layer. Column spacer structures may include main spacer structures, subspacer structures, and intermediate thickness spacer structures to enhance pooling mura and light leakage performance.

    Abstract: A polarizer integrated with conductive material and a process for forming a polarizer integrated with conductive material are disclosed. A polarizer can be integrated with conductive material to form a portion of a touch sensor panel. In one example, a layer of conductive film forming either the row or column traces can be patterned on a surface of a substrate in the polarizer. In another example, the layer of conductive film can be patterned on a viewing angle compensation film of the polarizer. One or more of the polarizer's polarizing layer, protective substrates or viewing angle compensation film can act as a dielectric between the conductive material forming the rows and column traces in the stack-up. As a result, the clear polymer spacer acting as a dielectric in touch panels can be removed, reducing the thickness of the touch screen stack-up.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a touch screen display or other input-output device that includes transparent conductive electrodes. The transparent conductive electrodes may be formed from a material that has a relatively high index of refraction such as indium tin oxide. Surrounding layers of the touch screen display such as a touch sensor substrate and an underlying display layer may have lower index of refraction values. To prevent abrupt index-of-refraction discontinuities that lead to unwanted reflections and visible artifacts on the display, the transparent conductive electrodes may be embedded within a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer may have a graded index of refraction. The graded index of refraction may be varied continuously or in a stepwise fashion by adjusting the composition of materials that are incorporated into the dielectric layer as a function of position within the layer.
