    Abstract: A sapphire sheet is laminated to a glass sheet with a gradient layer that transitions from a composition of predominantly Al 2 O 3 at the sapphire sheet to a composition of predominantly SiO 2 at the glass sheet. The gradient layer chemically bonds to both the sapphire sheet and the glass sheet and has no distinct interfaces.

    Abstract: A transparent component of an electronic device having a nano-crystalline layer is disclosed. The nano-crystalline layer may be formed as a series of layers separated by or interspersed with one or more other layers including a non-crystalline or amorphous material. The series of layers may also be interspersed with one or more anti-reflective layers configured to reduce optical reflections off the transparent component. The nano-crystalline layer may be formed by a deposition process or by an ion-implanting and annealing process to form crystals having a size of less than 10 nanometers. The protective coatings may be utilized on portions of an electronic device, such as a housing or a cover glass, to protect the electronic device from scratching and/or damage caused by impact.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be surrounded by an exterior region and may have an interior region. Electronic components may be mounted in the interior region. Housing walls such as housing walls formed from transparent layers of material may separate the interior region from the exterior region. A display may be visible through one of the transparent layers of material. A transparent layer of material may be coupled to housing structures in the device and may be formed of glass or glass-ceramic. The transparent layer may have two opposing chemically strengthened surface layers of different thicknesses. A coating may be formed on a thinner of the two opposing chemically strengthened surface layers. The coating may have an oleophobic outer coating layer, an antireflection layer, and an antiscratch layer. The antiscratch layer may have one or more compressively stressed dielectric layers and may have one or more corresponding graded composition layers.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within an interior of a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms part of the housing on a rear face of the device. The glass layer may be provided with regions having different appearances. The regions may be textured, may have coatings such as thin-film interference filter coatings formed from stacks of dielectric material having alternating indices of refraction, may have metal coating layers, and/or may have ink coating layers. Textured surfaces may be formed on thin glass layers and polymer films that are coupled to the glass layer. A glass layer may be formed from a pair of coupled glass layers. The coupled layers may have one or more recesses or other structures to visually distinguish different regions of the glass layer.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display and a rear housing. A coating may be formed on an inner surface of a display cover layer for the display or on an inner surface of the rear housing. The coating may include one or more inorganic layers such as inorganic layers in a thin-film interference filter or other layer of material. A buffer layer having a polymer with adhesion promotion additive and embedded silicon oxide particles may be interposed between the coating and a glass layer forming the rear housing or between a patterned indium tin oxide coating on a display cover layer and an adhesive layer that attaches a pixel array to the display cover layer.

    Abstract: An electronic device (10b) may be provided with optical markers (40). A marker may be formed from a coating (62). The coating (62) may be patterned to form a two-dimensional optical code or may be patterned to form an outline or other recognizable marker structure that helps provide information about an electronic device (10b). A device (10a) with a sensor (36) such as a depth sensor or other sensor may gather information on the electronic device (10b) and its markers. This information may include information on images captured with an image sensor while the electronic device (10b) is illuminated by one or more light beams from the depth sensor or other light sources. Markers may be configured to serve as mixed reality optical markers (40) in a mixed reality system. Analysis of the mixed reality marker images or other sensor data may reveal information on device type, device location, device size, device orientation, and other information on a marked device (10b).
