    摘要: An electronic device may have a touch screen display. The display may have a touch sensor structure that determines the location at which external objects touch the display. The touch sensor structure may have a clear substrate on which conductive capacitive touch sensor electrodes are formed. The electrodes may be formed from a transparent conductive material such as indium-tin oxide. The clear substrate may be formed from a flexible material such as a polymer. The polymer may be a clear polyimide. Copper traces or other conductive traces may be used to route sensor signals from the capacitive touch sensor electrodes to processing circuitry in the electronic device.

    摘要: Improved approaches to providing a sealed acoustic chamber (e.g., a back volume) for an acoustic component (e.g., speaker) resident in a compact portable electronic device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a compact portable electronic device includes an internal module (or housing), such as an optical camera module that includes optical components, which contains a module volume. The module volume can be provided with a port (e.g., opening) but is otherwise a substantially enclosed (e.g., at least substantially sealed) volume. By acoustically coupling the acoustic component to the port, the module volume can be used as some or all of the back volume for the acoustic component. Advantageously, a compact portable electronic can provide quality acoustic audio output while requiring only a limited amount of dedicated space.

    摘要: An electronic device having one or more sensors is provided. The sensors may include any suitable type of sensor, including for example a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, or any other suitable type of sensor that emits or receives radiation (e.g., light waves) from the environment. The electronic device may include openings through which radiation may reach the sensors while keeping the sensors hidden from view. In some embodiments, the sensors may be placed underneath an opening used for an audio receiver such that radiation is piped to the sensors using a light path or a chamfered surface along the opening. In some embodiments, the sensors may be embedded in a screen such that the radiation emitted by the sensors exits the screen instead of being reflected on the screen (e.g., to provide content displays). In some embodiments, the sensors may be placed along the periphery of the display, such that access to the sensors is provided via discontinuities in a gasket used to couple the display to the electronic device.

In one embodiment, an electronic device may include a component that is disposed behind a window configured to selectively become transparent or opaque, such as a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PLDC) window. The component includes an image capture device, a strobe flash, a biometric sensor, a light sensor, a proximity sensor, or a solar panel, or a combination thereof. Additionally, the electronic device includes data processing circuitry configured to determine when an event requesting that the component be exposed occurs. Furthermore, the electronic device includes a window controller that may control the window to become transparent, to expose the component upon the occurrence of the event requesting that the component be exposed.

    摘要: A multi-layer cover for an electronic device having one or more of a sensor panel, a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, and a display device can include an outer hardcoat, a structural layer, an IR transmissive ink layer, a mask layer, and a backside hardcoat. The backside hardcoat can reduce cover warpage, enable full surface lamination of the cover to the sensor panel, prevent bubbles from forming in transparent windows in the cover, enable a wider range of functional inks to be applied in various layering orders to allow certain types of light to pass through while blocking others, and hide the sensors to provide a seamless, uncluttered visual appearance.

    摘要: Improved approaches for providing electromagnetic interference shielding to one or more electrical components within a housing of a portable electronic device are disclosed. According to one aspect of certain embodiments, an electromagnetic shield can be attached to one or more edges of a substrate (e.g., printed circuit board) provided within a housing of a portable electronic device. Advantageously, this allows the substrate space to be efficiently utilized such that relatively wide electrical components can be provided on the substrate without having to further increase the width of the substrate to provide space for an EMI shielding structure and its attachment to the substrate. The housing of the portable electronic device can be compact, such as a low profile housing.
