  • Patent number: 9678588
    Abstract: An LCD module may include a color filter (CF) layer with pixels for modifying light energy to form a display image. A transistor layer below the CF layer may include a glass panel, conductive pathways, and transistors coupled to the conductive pathways and for controlling the pixels. A control layer is located below the transistor layer and may include a display controller for generating signals to control the transistor. First wire bondings carry the signals between the display controller and the conductive pathways included in the transistor layer. The LCD module may be used in a substantially round device, such as a watch, to provide a substantially borderless display.

  • Patent number: 9618968
    Abstract: Mobile computing devices that include an exterior housing and a port. The housing is configured to form a guide portion of the port. More particularly, the port includes a cavity formed in the housing. The cavity includes interior walls that extend inward from an exterior wall of the housing. The port further includes a connector that is positioned in the cavity. The connector is positioned such that the walls of the cavity form the guide of the connector. The port is further constructed to prevent the ingress of water and/or debris into an interior of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20160309604
    Abstract: A sealing element (20) for sealing an opening (12) in a water impervious housing (10) of a wearable electrical device during submersion of the device in water is disclosed. The sealing element comprises a flexible membrane (22) being water impervious, the membrane is adapted to be attached to the housing and to water sealingly cover the opening whereby the flexible membrane is adapted to flex in response to water pressure upon submersion; and a protective cover member (24) being water impervious, the protective cover member is connected to the membrane such that as the membrane flex in response to water pressure the protective cover member is moved towards the housing to water sealingly cover the opening. Also a wearable electrical device comprising such a sealing element is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20160216814
    Abstract: An LCD module may include a color filter (CF) layer with pixels, mounted to the first glass panel, for modifying light energy to form a display image. A transistor layer below the CD layer may include a glass panel, conductive pathways, and transistors coupled to the conductive pathways and for controlling the pixels. A control layer is located below the transistor layer and may include a display controller for generating signals to control the transistor. First wire bondings carry the signals between the display controller and the conductive pathways included in the transistor layer. The LCD module may be used in a substantially round device, such as a watch, to provide a substantially borderless display.

  • Patent number: 7602342
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable communication device and an antenna system. The device comprises an antenna feeding circuit and at least a first part having a hollow interior where different electrical elements are provided and provided with a main section having a certain width, length and a first height, and an antenna system. The antenna system comprises a ground plane (22, 24) located within and extending along essentially the whole width and length of at least the main section and an antenna element (28) located within the first part. The ground plane is provided in one piece and the only electrical elements of the first part being electrically connected to say ground plane are radio transmission elements.
