    Abstract: Abstract Two shot knuckles include a first shot component and a second shot component. Both shot components are composed of different dielectric materials, where the first shot is composed of a relatively high strength structural material and the second is composed of a cosmetic material. The first shot component can physically couple two conductive sections together by interfacing with a coupling structure of that section. The first shot component includes second shot retaining regions and a cosmetic region. The second shot component occupies the cosmetic region and anchors itself to the first shot component using the second shot retaining regions. The second shot may be the only part of the two-shot knuckle visible to a user of an electronic device and can exhibit any desired color.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device comprising a housing. The housing comprises a first conductive component (120) defining a first rounded portion of the housing and having a first coupling structure (250), the first conductive component configured to operate as part of a first antenna assembly of the portable electronic device. The housing also comprises a second conductive component (140) defining a second rounded portion of the housing and configured to operate as part of a second antenna assembly of the portable electronic device. The housing also comprises a third conductive component (110) having a second coupling structure (850) and defining a first portion of a sidewall (100) of the portable electronic device. There is provided an intermediate element (114) overmolded around the first coupling structure (250) and the second coupling structure (850) and defining a second portion of the sidewall between the first conductive component (120) and the third conductive component (110).

    Abstract: Each knuckle is molded in and/or around a coupling structure that is either welded to or is an integral part of the section. The coupling structure can be a bracket that is welded to an inner surface of a section, and the bracket is constructed to have a cross- section that minimizes capacitance. In one embodiment, a first bracket can be welded to a first conductive section, and a second bracket can be welded to a second conductive section. A knuckle constructed from an insulating material that is overmolded within and around the first and second brackets such that the first and second conductive sections are coupled together. The first and second conductive sections and their respective brackets are spaced a predetermined distanced apart, thereby ensuring the conductive sections are electrically isolated.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of a solid background layer (52) in conjunction with a transparent display panel (34). In one such implementation, a layer (50) that is switchable between opaque and transparent states is provided between the solid background layer (52) and the transparent display panel (34). By switching the switchable layer (50) between opaque and transparent states, visibility of the background layer (52) through the transparent display panel (34) may be controlled.
