The display may include a polarizer layer, a color filter layer, and a thin-film-transistor layer. A layer of material such as a glass insert may be attached to an edge of the display. Openings may be formed in the layers of the display and the insert accommodates the camera. A sleeve structure may be mounted within an opening. The camera may include lens structures formed from a stack of lens elements. One or more layers of the display may be interposed within the lens structures. The glass insert may be mounted within a notch in the color filter layer and thin-film transistor layer or along a straight edge of the color filter layer and thin-film transistor layer.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-weight nice-looking display.SOLUTION: The display comprises an upper polarizer with opening 22 formed in an opaque masking layer to allow light to pass through inactive portions 28A of the display such as peripheral portions of a display 14. The opaque masking layer may be formed on the upper polarizer, may be interposed between the upper polarizer and a color filter layer or may be interposed between the color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer.

One or more layers of the display may be interposed within the lens structures. The glass insert layer may be mounted within a notch in a color filter layer 60 and a thin-film transistor layer 52 or along a straight edge of the color filter layer 60 and the thin-film transistor layer 52.
Abstract:
A portable (e.g., laptop) computer, comprises upper and lower housing structures (12A, 12B: Figure 1) coupled by a hinge, a display (14) in the upper housing structure including a colour filter (CF) layer 60, a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer 52, and an opaque masking layer 138; the opaque, light blocking shielding layer 138 is interposed between the color filter (CF) and thin-film transistor (TFT) layers, and blocks inactive peripheral portions of the display from view. The opaque masking layer is formed in a border around the periphery of the display, and has an opening 140, an image sensing camera 102 in the upper housing structure receiving light through the opening. The opaque, light shielding layer may comprise a black ink layer, and can be formed on a top or a lower surface of the colour filter (CF) layer, which may be a colour filter glass substrate.

Abstract:
An electronic device may have a liquid crystal display with backlight structures. The backlight structures may produce backlight that passes through an array of display pixels. The display pixels may include electrode structures and thin-film transistor structures for controlling electric fields in a layer of liquid crystal material. The liquid crystal material may be formed between an outer display layer and an inner display layer. The inner display layer may be interposed between the backlight structures and the liquid crystal material. Thin-film transistor structures, electrodes, and conductive interconnection lines may be deposited in a layer on the inner surface of the outer display layer. A layer of color filter elements may be used to provide the display with color pixels. The color filter elements may be formed on top of the thin-film transistor layer or on a separate color filter array substrate such as the inner display layer.
