    Abstract: A backlight unit may be used to produce backlight illumination for a display. The backlight unit may have a row of light-emitting diodes that are mounted on a flexible printed circuit and that emit light into a light guide layer. The backlight unit may include a chassis that extends around the periphery of the light guide layer. The chassis may have a first portion that is mounted on the flexible printed circuit adjacent to the light-emitting diodes and a second portion that extends over the light-emitting diodes. A heat spreading layer may be attached to a reflector layer and the flexible printed circuit. The heat spreading layer may have a width that is less than the width of the reflector layer. Adhesive patches may attach the light guide layer to the flexible printed circuit. A patterned adhesive layer may be formed over the light-emitting diodes and the light guide layer.

    Abstract: An electronic device display may have an active area with pixels. An optical sensor may be formed under a sensor region in the active area. During operation, ambient light and/or other light associated with the optical sensor may pass through the sensor region. To ensure that the light for the optical sensor can pass through the display, the display may have one or more layers with sensor openings such as a metal layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that attaches the metal layer to the pixels of the display. To help minimize visibility of the openings in the sensor region, the pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be configured to have a reflectivity that matches the appearance of the display in the sensor region to surrounding areas. Undesired light output uniformity can be reduced by ensuring that the substrate material in the display has a low light absorption coefficient.
