Abstract: In devices with flexible displays, multilayer adhesive stacks may be included. A multilayer adhesive may attach a flexible display panel to the display cover layer in an electronic device. Including multiple layers of adhesive in the adhesive stack (as opposed to a single layer) provides more degrees of freedom for the tuning and optimization of the properties of the adhesive stack. The multilayer adhesive stack therefore has better performance than if only a single layer of adhesive is used. The multilayer adhesive stack may include one or more layers of soft adhesive, hard adhesive, hard elastomer, hard polymer, and/or glass to optimize the mechanical and optical performance of the multilayer adhesive stack. Soft adhesive layers may be included to optimize lateral decoupling (e.g., during folding and unfolding) of the adhesive stack. Harder layers may be included to provide rigidity and prevent denting during impact events.

Abstract: A voice control method is provided, including: when an electronic device is in a screen-locked state, detecting a first operation (S1501); in response to the first operation, triggering authentication on a user, and triggering a voice recognition application to detect a voice instruction (S1502); and when the voice recognition application on the electronic device detects the voice instruction and the authentication succeeds, unlocking a screen and performing an operation corresponding to the voice instruction (S1503). In this way, an operation of the user triggers both authentication on the user and voice instruction detection, and when the authentication succeeds and the voice instruction is detected, the operation corresponding to the voice instruction is performed. This simplifies operation steps for voice control over the electronic device by the user, and reduces operation time of the user.

Abstract: A voice interaction includes. displaying a first interface in response to an operation of waking up a voice assistant application; receiving first voice input of the user, where the first voice input includes first slot information; displaying a first card in the first interface, where the first card includes N candidate options of the first slot information, where the N candidate options are in a one-to-one correspondence with N query requests, and where each query request in the N query requests carries a corresponding candidate option of the first slot information; and in response to an operation of selecting a first candidate option from the N candidate options by the user, sending a first query request corresponding to the first candidate option to a first server.

Abstract: A transparent high-conductivity layer for providing electrostatic feedback to a user of an electronic device. The transparent high-conductivity layer is positioned over a capacitive input sensor and has a resistivity sufficiently high to prevent interference with the capacitive input sensor. As one example, the transparent high-conductivity layer can be formed from a layer of geometrically-separated regions of high-conductivity material. The average distance between geometrically-separated regions can substantially define the resistivity of the transparent high-conductivity layer.

Abstract: An electronic device includes display layers such as liquid crystal display layers and a backlight unit that provides illumination for the display layers. The backlight unit includes light-emitting diodes that emit light into the edge of a light guide film. To minimize the inactive area of the display, the light-emitting diodes are tightly spaced to approximate a line light source instead of point light sources. Color and/or luminance compensation layers are incorporated at various locations within the backlight structures to ensure that the backlight provided to the display layers is homogenous. A thin-film transistor layer of the display is coupled to a printed circuit board by a flexible printed circuit. The flexible printed circuit has additional solder mask layers to improve robustness, encapsulation, and traces with a varying pitch.
