Abstract: A display assembly, a client device having the display assembly, and a method of manufacturing the display assembly are disclosed. Antenna performance in, e.g., mobile devices is improved via a robust and multifunctional multi-layer glass structure for a display of the mobile device or the like which allows placing auxiliary antenna elements between layers of the display structure.
