Abstract: An electronic device may have a display mounted in a housing. The housing may have a stand that supports the housing on a support surface or may have other shapes. The display may have pixels that display an image. The display may also have a two-dimensional array of light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes that supply backlight illumination for the pixels. An array of temperature sensors may be overlapped by the pixels. Control circuitry may maintain historical backlight aging information during operation of the display. The aging information may include information on output brightness levels of the light-emitting diodes and light-emitting diode operating temperatures.

Abstract: A privacy film may have a light-blocking layer that is interposed between first and second transparent substrates. The light-blocking layer may have a plurality of opaque portions and a plurality of transparent portions. The opaque portions may be shaped to ensure light from the display is directed only to the primary viewer of the display. Each opaque portion of the light-blocking layer may extend along a respective longitudinal axis between the first and second transparent substrates. Privacy films used to cover curved displays may have opaque portions that extend along longitudinal axes that have different angles relative to the transparent substrates. Opaque portions in the edge of the privacy film may have longitudinal axes that are at non-perpendicular angles with respect to the transparent substrates. A privacy film for a curved display may also include a light-redirecting layer such as a prism layer or a liquid crystal layer.

Abstract: Embodiments related to an electronic device having an adaptive input row. The adaptive input row may be positioned within an opening of a device and include a cover for receiving a touch and a display that is configured to present an adaptable set of indicia. The adaptive input row may also include one or more sensors for detecting the location of a touch and/or the magnitude of a force of the touch. The adaptive input row may be positioned adjacent or proximate to a keyboard of the electronic device.

Abstract: A display may have an array of display pixels for displaying images for a user. A backlight unit may provide backlight for the display pixels. The backlight unit may have a substrate such as a printed circuit substrate. An array of locally dimmable backlight elements may be mounted on the substrate. The substrate may be mounted against an inner surface of a metal electronic device housing or other support structure in an electronic device. Each backlight element may have a semiconductor package containing a semiconductor die. The semiconductor die may have a light-emitting diode and a light-emitting-diode control circuit. The light-emitting-diode control circuit may have a pair of transistors and a capacitor. One of the transistors may be connected in series with the light-emitting diode. The light-emitting diode control circuit may receive control signals on a gate line terminal and a source line terminal.
