    Abstract: Variable friction clutch structures are described. In particular embodiments, the variable friction clutch structures are used to provide smooth and consistent movement of hinge assemblies of portable computers. The variable friction clutch can be configured to transition between a high frictional resistance mode and a low frictional resistance mode. In some embodiments, the variable friction clutches include cam systems. In some embodiments, the variable friction clutches include threaded shaft systems. In some embodiments, the variable friction clutches include mechanical linkage systems. In some embodiments, two or more variable friction clutches are included within a single hinge assembly for a portable computer. A space-saving wire clutch that can be used alone or in combination with the variable friction clutches is disclosed.

    Abstract: An input device is disclosed. The input device includes a movable touch-sensitive track pad capable of detecting an object in close proximity thereto so as to generate a tracking control signal. The input device also includes a movement indicator capable of detecting the movements of the movable track pad so as to generate one or more other control signals (e.g., button signals). The control signals can be used to perform actions in an electronic device operatively coupled to the input device.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display that has a layer of liquid crystal material interposed between a color filter layer and a thin-film-transistor layer. The thin-film-transistor layer may have a substrate with an upper surface and a lower surface. A circular polarizer may be formed on the upper surface. Thin-film transistor circuitry such as gate driver circuitry may be formed on the lower surface. A display driver circuit may be mounted on an inactive border region of the lower surface of the thin-film transistor substrate. Display pixels may form an array in a central active region of the display. A grid of metal gate and data lines may distribute signals from the display driver circuit and gate driver circuitry to the display pixels. A grid of non-reflecting lines may be interposed between the grid of metal lines and the lower surface.
