Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device utilizing a flexible display panel with multiple relief features formed in a periphery bending portion of the flexible display panel. The multiple relief features may facilitate lamination of the flexible display to a curved cover layer. The flexible display panel may have a circular shape utilized in a wearable device. An active area for displaying images may extend to the periphery bending portion of the flexible display panel, thus provided a wide viewing range for a user as well as enhancing an overall aesthetic appearance of the electronic device.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a display device may include a flexible display having a substantially flat central portion and an end portion, a printed circuit film disposed on the end portion of the display, a panel member attached to the printed circuit film, the panel member being bent around a bend axis to form an edge of the display, and a support structure disposed inside of formed edge of the panel member, the support structure being non-parallel to the flat central portion of the display. The panel member may conform to a shape of the support structure.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at a multi-cut display-panel design enabling system integration into two or more end products. In aspects, a display panel includes a display panel body, having a pixel array and related electronics, as well as one or more border extensions disposed at least partially around a display border of the display panel body. The display panel further includes one or more cutting profiles to separate one or more borders extensions (or no border extensions) for integration in differently sized mounting structures of various electrical devices. Through these systems and techniques, a single display panel with a multi-cut design can be manufactured for integration within dissimilarly shaped electronic devices, saving costs associated with conventional manufacturing techniques, improving electronic device reliability, and antenna performance.

Abstract: Computing devices are described that can reduce a hole-in-active-area (HIAA) size for flexible displays. The computing device may reduce an HIAA size for a camera without using a circular opening, which is often used on smartphones. In particular, the computing device may utilize a non-circular opening (e.g., a pill-shaped HIAA) and include a camera positioned eccentrically within the non-circular opening. In this way, the HIAA size is minimized to increase a size of an active area (e.g., comprising emissive regions) of the flexible display. Furthermore, the reduced HIAA size can reduce electrical circuitry needed within the active area. The flexible displays can include both bendable and rollable displays.
