    Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing with a lid that rotates relative to a base. 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 may be mounted in the base. A rigid flex printed circuit may have a rigid portion in the base to which the display timing controller integrated circuit is mounted and may have a rigid portion in the lid. A flexible printed circuit portion 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 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: Displays such as liquid crystal displays may be provided with structures that minimize curtain mura. A display may have upper (22) and lower (24) polarizers. A color filter layer (12) and a thin film transistor layer (14) may be located between the upper and lower polarizers. A liquid crystal layer (16) may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin film transistor layer. A first optical film layer (18) that includes a birefringent compensating layer (62) may be located between the upper polarizer and the color filter layer. A second optical film layer (20) that is devoid of birefringent compensating layers may be located between the thin film transistor layer and the lower polarizer. A grid of metal signal lines (66) may be used to distribute signals to thin film transistors on the thin film transistor layer. A black mask (68) may be interposed between the grid of signal lines and the thin film transistor layer.

    Abstract: An LED backlight method and apparatus for display systems provides a plurality of light emitting diodes having different white point colors. At least two of the light emitting diodes having different white point colors are selected to produce a light of a predetermined white point color when the light outputs of the selected light emitting diodes are mixed. The selected light emitting diodes are mounted on a display panel in a predetermined order at spatially distributed positions for mixing their light outputs to produce the light of the predetermined white point color to illuminate the display panel with the light of the predetermined white point color.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a backlight (42). The backlight provides backlight illumination for an array of pixels (24) that is displaying images. The backlight includes an array of cells (38C). Each cell contains a light source (38) with one or more light-emitting diodes (38D) and a cavity reflector (68) that reflects light from the light source outwardly through a diffuser (34) for use in forming the backlight illumination. The light sources are mounted to a printed circuit (60). Support posts (90) on the printed circuit are used to maintain the diffuser at a fixed distance (H) from the printed circuit. Sensors (104) on the printed circuit are used to measure separation distances between the printed circuit and diffuser. Adjustments to pixel gain profiles can be made based on the measured separation distances to maintain uniform illumination.

    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.
