Embodiment Construction

[0037] Electronic devices such as laptop computers, tablet computers, cellular phones and other computing devices are equipped with displays.

[0038] exist figure 1 An illustrative electronic device such as a laptop computer or other electronic device with a display is shown in . Such as figure 1 As shown, display 14 of device 10 may be mounted in upper housing portion 12A of housing 12 . The housing 12 may be formed of a one-piece construction, wherein some or all of the housing 12 is formed from a single piece of material (e.g., metal, plastic, or fiber composite), or it may be formed by an already attached mechanism using adhesives, fasteners, and other attachment mechanisms. Multiple structures formed together. For example, housing 12 may be formed from frame members and other internal supports to which external panels, housing side walls, frame structures, and other structures are mounted.

[0039] Because housing portion 12A may be used to house display 14 , housing...

Abstract

An electronic device may have a display. Inactive portions of the display such as peripheral portions of the display may be masked using an opaque masking layer. An opening may be provided in the opaque masking layer to allow light to pass. For example, a logo may be viewed through an opening in the opaque masking layer and a camera may receive light through an opening in the opaque masking layer. The display may include upper and lower polarizers, a color filter layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. The opaque masking layer may be formed on the upper polarizer, may be interposed between the upper polarizer and the color filter layer, or may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The upper polarizer may have unpolarized windows for cameras, logos, or other internal structures.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application No. 12 / 916,474, filed October 29, 2010, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to electronic equipment, and more particularly, to display structures for electronic equipment such as portable computers. Background technique [0004] Electronic devices such as portable computers and cellular telephones typically have displays. To provide protection from damage, many displays are equipped with a cover glass layer. The cover glass layer helps protect the underlying display structure from scratches and other damage during use of the electronic device. A patterned layer of black ink is sometimes formed on the underside of the cover glass layer, creating an opaque edge region. Opaque edge areas hide internal device parts from view. An opening in the black ink may be provided for ...
