  • Patent number: 11927761
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may have rear-facing display that displays a three-dimensional image to rear eye boxes. The head-mounted device may also have a front-facing display that faces away from the rear eye boxes. The front-facing display may cover a front face of the head-mounted housing. To share content such as content being displayed by the rear-facing displays with external viewers, the head-mounted device may use the front-facing display or a separate display to display images. An accessory that is coupled to the front face of the housing may reflect an image on the front-facing display towards a viewer for viewing. Sensors in the device may detect presence of the accessory. Display projectors and waveguides or optical layers on the front face that overlap the front-facing display may be used to display three-dimensional images to front eye boxes.

  • Patent number: 11871517
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels for displaying images. The electronic device may also have a lens through which the images are viewable on the display. The display may have a display panel that is mounted to a printed circuit stack. The printed circuit stack may include multiple printed circuit layers to which components are mounted. The components may include an orientation sensor overlapped by the display panel. A camera may be mounted to a printed circuit stack and may overlap one or more electrical components such as an orientation sensor. The printed circuit stacks may include rigid and flexible printed circuits coupled together using solder and other conductive connections. Air gaps may be created between stacked printed circuit layers.

  • Patent number: 11536446
    Abstract: An electronic device such as a voice-controlled speaker device may have a housing. A speaker and other input-output components and control circuitry may be mounted within the housing. Light-emitting components may emit light that passes through a curved upper top cap portion or other housing structure. The light-emitting components may be interconnected using a flex circuit on a curved substrate or may be mounted on a planar circuit board. A subset of the light-emitting components may be rotated to improve color balance. Optical structures such as light guides, lens, microlenses, and/or a diffuser layer may be disposed over the light-emitting components to promote light mixing, to reduce hotspots, and to improve contrast on the top cap. The diffuser layer may be suspended using a support structure having baffle members to constraint the angular spread of the emitted light. Illuminated or persistently visible glyphs may be displayed in or near the top cap portion.
