Abstract: A display may be provided with display layers. Ambient light reflections may be suppressed by forming antireflection coatings on one or more surfaces of the display layers. An antireflection coating may be formed by depositing alternating high and low index of refraction dielectric layers using a sputtering tool. A controller may control the operation of a spectrometer and the sputtering tool. To ensure that the antireflection coating exhibits a desired color, the controller may direct the sputtering tool or other equipment to deposit a subset of the dielectric layers for the antireflection coating. A spectrum may then be measured with the spectrometer. Based on the measured light spectrum, thickness adjustments or other adjustments may be made to remaining dielectric layers to ensure that the antireflection coating color matches a target color.

Abstract: An electronic display (102) configured to provide a visual output, such as a liquid crystal display. The electronic display includes an optical shutter and a first polarizer (214) operably connected to the optical shutter. The first polarizer includes an optical filter layer (136; 336), a protective layer (134, 138; 334, 338), and a moisture barrier (210; 310) positioned on a first surface of either the optical filter or the protective layer. The moisture barrier substantially prevents water molecules from being transmitted therethrough.

Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with displays having polarizer structures (48). Polarizer structures (48) may incorporate flexible layers of glass (50). The flexible glass layers (50) may be laminated to other sheets of material (52-62) in the polarizer structures (48) using roll-to-roll lamination equipment. After the polarizer structures (48) are cut into panels, the panels may be laminated to liquid crystal display structures, organic light-emitting-diode display structures or other display structures using sheet-to-sheet lamination tools. Ultraviolet-light-blocking material (52) may be incorporated into a display to prevent damage to the polarizer layers (54) in the polarizer structures (48). Coatings (68) such as antireflection coatings, antistatic coating, and anti-smudge coatings may be provided on the polarizer structures (48). Displays may use the flexible glass layers (50) and additional protective layers to prevent a polarizer layer (54) from being exposed to excessive moisture. A birefringent layer (62) may be incorporated into a display and may serve as a protective layer for a polarizer (54).

Abstract: When a user operates a touch sensor panel having an LCD device outdoors or in a bright environment, light reflecting off the device can create glare. In order to reduce glare, a user can view the device through polarized filters such as polarized sunglasses. Doing so can reduce the visibility of the image displayed on the LCD. A quarter-wave retardation film can be added to the touch sensor panel's LCD device to mitigate these effects by producing circularly polarized light. However, adding a separate quarter-wave retardation film can increase the thickness and cost of manufacturing the touch sensor panel. Examples of the present disclosure are directed to a touch sensor panel constructed from a base film having quarter-wave retardation properties that can produce circularly polarized light. Because the base film has the desired optical properties, a separate quarter-wave retardation film may not be needed.
