Abstract: An electronic device may have a display, a display cover layer, and an image transport layer formed from a coherent fiber bundle. The coherent fiber bundle may be placed between the display and the display cover layer. A gap may separate the coherent fiber bundle from the display cover layer. Adhesive in the gap may attach the coherent fiber bundle to the display cover layer. Molded polymer may be coupled to a bent edge of the display, a portion of the display with backside contacts, or components coupled to the backside contacts or other portions of the display. The molded polymer may support the coherent fiber bundle relative to the cover layer. The molded polymer may be molded to an inner surface of the cover layer and may be used to receive fasteners or otherwise facilitate mounting of housing structures and components in the device.

Abstract: To eliminate galvanic corrosion, a housing includes a clad. The clad includes an interior metal disposed within an exterior metal and a clad interface. The exterior metal includes a lower electrical conductivity potential than the interior metal. An aperture can extend through the exterior metal and the clad interface and an actuator or a plug can be disposed within the aperture. The housing further includes a corrosion resistant coating disposed on a portion of the interior metal at the clad interface. The corrosion resistant coating can include a thickness between about 2 μm and about 10 μm.
