Abstract: A textured enclosure component including two different types of surface features is disclosed. The two different types of surface features are differently sized. The combination of differently sized surface features provides both anti-glare and anti-reflective properties to the enclosure component.

Abstract: An electronic device may have components such as a display, a camera, a button, and other electrical components. A transparent crystalline member such as a layer of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, or other crystalline dielectric structure may overlap an electrical component and may serve as a display cover layer, button cover member, or window member. An annealed adhesion layer such as an annealed inorganic layer may be formed on a crystalline dielectric member. The annealed adhesion layer may help adhere an oleophobic coating to the transparent crystalline member.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a cover layer. An ambient light sensor may be aligned with an ambient light sensor window formed from an opening in a masking layer on the cover layer in an inactive portion of the display. To help mask the ambient light sensor window from view, the ambient light sensor window may be provided with a black coating that matches the appearance of surrounding masking layer material while allowing light to reach the ambient light sensor. The black coating may be formed from a black physical vapor deposition thin-film inorganic layer with a high index of refraction. An antireflection layer formed from a stack of dielectric layers may be interposed between the black thin-film inorganic layer and the display cover layer.

Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more light emitters for emitting light toward an object and one or more light detectors for collecting light exiting the object. A reflective coating, surface, or surface finish can be applied adjacent to the area to which light is emitted and/or through which light exits in order to increase the light collected by the light detector. The reflective coating can be oriented so as to reflect light back into the object.

Abstract: Methods of forming a bulk metallic glass disclosed. The methods include packing a metallic glass-forming alloy powder to form a green body; heating the green body to a temperature between the glass transition temperature and the melting point of the metallic glass-forming alloy to form a heated green body; and cooling the heated green body to a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the metallic glass-forming alloy to form the bulk metallic glass. The methods of forming a bulk metallic glass also include packing one or more layers of an amorphous foil to form a green body; heating the green body to a temperature between the glass transition temperature and the melting point of the metallic glass-forming alloy to form a heated green body; and cooling the heated green body to a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the metallic glass-forming alloy to form the bulk metallic glass.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may have a display cover layer. The display may have an active area with pixels and an inactive area without pixels. An opaque masking layer such as a layer of black ink may be formed on the underside of the display cover layer in the inactive area. Windows may be formed from openings in the opaque masking layer. Optical components such as infrared-light-based optical components may be aligned with the windows. The windows may include coatings in the openings that block visible light while transmitting infrared light. The window coatings may be formed from polymer layers containing pigments, polymer layers containing dyes that are coated with antireflection layers, thin-film interference filters formed from stacks of thin-film layers, or other coating structures.
