Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing that defines an aperture, and a display assembly positioned in the aperture. The display assembly can include a display layer having a first portion, and a second portion bending at least partially below the first portion. The first portion and the second portion can define a bend volume, and a potting material can be disposed in the bend volume, such that the potting material contacts the first portion and the second portion. An internal enclosure can be contoured to the display assembly.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display layer for displaying images. An optical coupling layer having an input surface that receives light from the display panel may convey the light from the input surface to an output surface. The output surface may have different dimensions than the display layer and may have any desired shape. To account for the displacement of light between the active area and the outer surface of the optical coupling layer and to ensure the output image is perceived with the desired distortion, image data may be rendered for the output surface then modified to account for the distortion and displacement that will occur later when the image is transported by the optical coupling layer from the display active area to the output surface of the optical coupling layer. Image distortion control circuitry may modify the rendered image data based on a distortion map.

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.

Abstract: A display may have a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. A liquid crystal layer may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. Column spacer structures may be used to maintain a desired gap for the liquid crystal layer between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The column spacer structures may include column spacers having bases and opposing tips. The tips may penetrate into the liquid crystal layer and may bear against the thin-film transistor layer or aligned column spacer pads on the thin-film transistor layer. The color filter layer may have a glass substrate, a black matrix on the substrate, a color filter element layer on the black matrix, and an overcoat on the color filter element layer. Some or all of the column spacers may have bases that contact the black matrix layer.
