    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 5 opening may be provided in the opaque masking layer to allow 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 10 filter layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. The opaque 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 15 have unpolarized windows for cameras, logos, or other internal structures.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10), comprising a display (14) that includes a polarizer (62) with an opening, a sleeve (146) that passes through the opening, and a camera (22) having lens structures (126) that are at least partly contained within the sleeve (146). The display (14) comprises a thin-film-transistor layer (52) and a color filter layer (60). The electronic device (10) further comprises a layer of glass (180) that is attached to the display (14), wherein the layer of glass (180) has an opening through which the lens structures (126) and the sleeve (146) pass. T he color filter layer (60) and the thin-film-transistor layers (52) have respective edges and wherein the edge of the color filter layer (60) is recessed with respect to the edge of the thin-film-transistor layer (52) to form a ledge (184) on which the layer of glass (180) is mounted.
