Abstract: Systems such as electronic device systems may be provided with components such as displays and cameras mounted in an interior region of a housing. A transparent layer may be mounted to the housing and may overlap the components. The transparent layer may have glass layers and polymer layers attached to the glass layers.

Abstract: A system may have a support structure and a glass layer that separate an exterior region surrounding the system from an interior region. Components may be mounted in the interior region. The components may include an optical component. The glass layer may have a first area that overlaps the optical component and that serves as an optical component window for the optical component. The glass layer may also have a second area that surrounds the first area and does not overlap the optical component. The first area may be selectively weakened relative to the second area to prevent excessive glass fracturing during a damage event from obscuring the optical component. Selective weakening may be provided with laser-induced-damage features, recesses from local thinning, and/or glass-weakening deposited thin films such as physical vapor deposition thin-film coatings of inorganic dielectric.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted support structure. Rear-facing displays may present images to eye boxes at the rear of the head-mounted support structure. A forward-facing publicly viewable display may be supported on a front side of the head-mounted support structure facing away from the rear-facing displays. The forward-facing display may have pixels that form an active area in which images are displayed and may have a ring-shaped inactive border area that surrounds the pixels. A cosmetic covering structure such as ring-shaped shroud member may overlap optical components in the inactive border area. The optical components may be received within through-hole openings in the cosmetic covering structure and/or may operate through transparent portions of the cosmetic covering structure.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted support structure. Rear-facing displays may present images to eye boxes at the rear of the head-mounted support structure. A forward-facing publicly viewable display may be supported on a front side of the head-mounted support structure facing away from the rear-facing displays. The forward-facing display may have pixels that form an active area in which images are displayed and may have a ring-shaped inactive border area that surrounds the pixels. The active area may have a curved peripheral edge with a nose bridge recess. The inactive border area may have a periphery that runs parallel to the peripheral edge of the active area. The forward-facing display may have a cover layer with a developable surface overlapping the active area and a ring-shaped surface of compound curvature that overlaps the inactive area. Optical components may operate through the cover layer in the inactive area.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include an optical module that provides a display element that is moveable based on pressure and/or temperature changes within an enclosed chamber. The control mechanisms can directly and/or indirectly alter one or more of the temperature, pressures, and/or volume of the enclosed chamber. As the conditions within the chamber are altered, an extendable member can expand and/or retract to move the display element towards and/or away from a user's eye. The mechanisms for controlling the position of the display element can be actively and/or passively controlled.
