Abstract: A thin-film transistor layer, an organic light-emitting diode layer, and other layers may be used in forming an array of pixels on a substrate in a display. Vias may be formed through one or more layers of the display such as the substrate layer to form vertical signal paths. The vertical signal paths may convey signals between display driver circuitry underneath the display and the pixels. The vias may pass through a polymer layer and may contact pads formed within openings in the substrate. Vias may pass through a glass support layer. Metal traces may be formed in the thin-film transistor layer to create signal paths such as data lines and gate lines. Portions of the metal traces may form vias through a polymer layer such as a substrate layer or a polymer layer that has been formed on top of the substrate layer.

Abstract: A moisture sensor includes one or more electrodes and sensor circuitry configured to detect the presence of moisture by detecting a change in an electrical measurement of the one or more electrodes. In response, the sensor may signal a component to perform an action. In some examples, capacitance and/or resistance between a pair of electrodes may be monitored, such as a pair of electrode sheets or meshes positioned in passage of a device that are separated by a gap. In various examples, a first electrode may be mounted cantilever to a second electrode and the presence of moisture between the electrodes may pull a free end closer to the second electrode. In some examples, the presence of moisture may cause bridging of a gap between two or more electrodes to complete or corrosion of a portion of an electrode to result in a change of resistance that can be detected.
Abstract translation: 水分传感器包括一个或多个电极和传感器电路，其被配置为通过检测一个或多个电极的电测量的变化来检测湿气的存在。 作为响应，传感器可以发信号通知部件执行动作。 在一些示例中，可以监测一对电极之间的电容和/或电阻，例如位于通过间隙分开的装置通过的一对电极片或网格。 在各种示例中，第一电极可以悬臂安装到第二电极，并且电极之间的湿气的存在可以拉动靠近第二电极的自由端。 在一些实例中，水分的存在可能引起两个或更多个电极之间的间隙的桥接，以完成或腐蚀电极的一部分，导致可检测的电阻的变化。

Abstract: Adhesive may be used to bond electronic device structures together. The adhesive may be a heat activated film. Heat to activate the film may be produced by vibrating electronic device structures so that they rub against each other. An ohmic heating element may be used to produce heat under the control of circuitry inside an electronic device and may be adjusted based on temperature sensor data. Infrared light may pass through a display cover layer to activate the heat activated film. Radio-frequency signals may heat the heat activated film and may be absorbed by fibers in the film or resonant elements such as metal traces. Exothermic reactions may be used to activate the film. An ultraviolet light source may initiate curing of a solid adhesive film layer before the layer is pressed between structures to be joined. A display may produce light that cures adhesive in an electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall having a through-hole and a crown assembly including an actuation member. The actuation member may include a crown shaft extending through the through-hole and having an exterior portion defining an input surface and a crown ring coupled to the exterior portion of the crown shaft and electrically isolated from the crown shaft. The crown assembly may further include an optical encoder component attached to the actuation member and defining a group of optical features. The electronic watch may further include an optical detector configured to detect rotation of the crown assembly by detecting motion of the group of optical features and an electrocardiograph sensor comprising a sensing component. The sensing component may be conductively coupled to the actuation member via a conductive path at least partially defined by the crown shaft.
