  • Patent number: 11650368
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display that displays an image. The image may be viewed through a display cover layer that overlaps the display. The display cover layer may include an optical coupling layer such as a coherent fiber bundle. A pixel expansion layer such as a diffractive layer may be incorporated between the optical coupling layer and a protective layer. The diffractive layer may create duplicate pixels to occupy otherwise non-light-emitting areas on the output surface of the display cover layer. The diffractive layer may also create duplicate pixels that overlap adjacent pixels to allow for brightness averaging. An adhesive layer or the protective layer may be used to form diffractive elements for the diffractive layer. An adhesive layer having a high index of refraction may be interposed between the optical coupling layer and the display panel to mitigate undesired reflections of ambient light.

  • Publication number: 20230140652
    Abstract: This document describes methods and systems for an antenna system integrated with side-keys of an electronic device. The antenna system enables antenna integration in a metal frame using a metal support structure and fastener(s) to route antenna signals around side-key modules embedded in the frame without encountering or causing interference with the side-key modules. By using these techniques to integrate antennas on areas around the side-key modules, more antennas can be implemented on the electronic device, leading to improved capabilities supporting additional wireless standards and a better user experience in terms of improved communication quality.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220309980
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with pixels configured to display an image. The pixels may be overlapped by a cover layer. The display may have peripheral edges with curved cross-sectional profiles. An inactive area in the display may be formed along a peripheral edge of the display or may be surrounded by the pixels. Electrical components such as optical components may be located in the inactive area. An image transport layer may be formed from a coherent fiber bundle or Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may overlap the pixels, may have an opening that overlaps portions of the inactive area, may have an output surface that overlap portions of the inactive area, and/or may convey light associated with optical components in the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11388329
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display panel for displaying images. A display cover layer having curved portions may overlap the display panel. An image transport layer having an input surface that receives light from the display panel may convey the light from the input surface to an output surface adjacent to an inner surface of the display cover layer. The image transport layer may include fibers with different lengths to form a region of the output surface with a curved profile. Each fiber in the coherent fiber bundle may have a respective output face. The output face of each fiber in the curved edge region of the image transport layer may be parallel to the display panel or may be angled towards the center of the image transport layer. Image distortion control circuitry may modify image data to control the perceived distortion of the display.
