  • Patent number: 11619779
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with pixels configured to display an image. An image transport layer may be formed from a coherent fiber bundle or Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may overlap the pixels and may have an input surface that receives the image from the pixels and a corresponding output surface on which the received image is viewable. The image transport layer may form an exterior surface of the electronic device or may be overlapped by a transparent cover layer. Various methods such as swelling, piping, and slumping may be used to process fibers and form image transport layers. A fiber bundle that is used to form an image transport layer may include fibers that have varying properties.

  • Patent number: 9612395
    Abstract: An optical waveguide, such as an optical fiber, which relies on a mechanism involving scattering in random structures to confine light to a region of the waveguide and allow propagation of electromagnetic radiation along the length of the waveguide includes an optically transmissive body having a length and a cross-section transverse to the length, wherein the optically transmissive body has refractive indices that are cross-sectionally random and substantially invariant along the length direction of the waveguide.
