Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a backlight. The backlight provides backlight illumination for an array of pixels that is displaying images. The backlight may include an array of cells. Each cell may contain a light source with one or more light-emitting diodes and a cavity reflector that reflects light from the light source outwardly through a diffuser for use in forming the backlight illumination. The light sources may be mounted to a printed circuit. Support posts on the printed circuit may be used to maintain the diffuser at a fixed distance from the printed circuit. The support posts may have opposing first and second ends. The first ends may be attached to the diffuser with fixed connections such as adhesive connections. The second ends may be attached to the printed circuit using floating connections.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, and a housing at least partially surrounding the display and comprising a first housing member defining a first portion of an exterior surface of the electronic device and a second housing member defining a second portion of the exterior surface of the electronic device and configured to function as an antenna. The electronic device also includes a joining structure positioned between the first housing member and the second housing member including a reinforcement plate and a molded element at least partially encapsulating the reinforcement plate and engaged with the first housing member and the second housing member, thereby retaining the first housing member to the second housing member.
