Abstract: A display may have a backlight. The display backlight may have a light guide plate. An array of light-emitting diodes may emit light into the edge of the light guide plate. The array of light-emitting diodes may be mounted to a flexible printed circuit. A layer of adhesive tape may attach the light guide plate to the flexible printed circuit. The tape layer may have upper and lower adhesive layers on a carrier film. The carrier film may be formed from a metal-coated polymer layer, a high-low dielectric stack, a metal foil, or other reflective or non-reflective structures. A stiffener may be provided to facilitate handling of the adhesive tape.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display mounted in a housing. The display may include a liquid crystal display module and a reflective polarizer having an in-plane optical axis. The display may also include a backlight unit that includes a light source, a light guide element, and a reflector film coupled to a backside of the light guide element. The display may also include a light retardation layer such as a quarter wave film. The quarter wave film may be arranged between the reflective polarizer and the reflector film of the backlight unit. During operation of the display, partially polarized light that is output from a front side of the light guide element may have a first component parallel to the in-plane optical axis and a second component perpendicular to the in-plane optical axis of the reflective polarizer. The second component may be reflected from the reflective polarizer.

Abstract: Electronic devices may include displays. A display may include display layers having an array of display pixels and a backlight unit that provides backlight illumination to the display pixels. The backlight unit may include a light guide plate that distributes light across the display layers and a stack of optical films that may be used to enhance backlight performance. The optical films may be interposed between the light guide plate and the display layers. The light guide plate may be provided with one or more rounded edges formed from curved surfaces and/or one or more beveled edges formed from chamfered surfaces. Providing the light guide plate with rounded or beveled edges may minimize abrasive contact between the light guide plate and the adjacent optical films. An injection molding tool may be used to mold a light guide plate with rounded or beveled edges.

Abstract: A display may have a backlight unit that provides backlight illumination. The backlight unit may include a light guide that distributes light through the display. The light guide may include opposing first and second edges. A first light source such as a first row of light-emitting diodes may emit light into the first edge and a second light source such as a second row of light-emitting diodes may emit light into the second edge. In a normal viewing mode, both light sources are active and backlight illumination is provided over a normal range of angles. In a restricted angle-of-view mode, only one light source is active and backlight is emitted in a more concentrated fashion over a restricted range of angles. In a high luminance restricted angle-of-view mode, the active light source is driven at an elevated level.
Abstract translation: 显示器可以具有提供背光照明的背光单元。 背光单元可以包括通过显示器分配光的光导。 光导可以包括相对的第一和第二边缘。 诸如第一排发光二极管的第一光源可以将光发射到第一边缘中,并且诸如第二排发光二极管的第二光源可以将光发射到第二边缘。 在正常观看模式下,两个光源都是有效的,并且在正常的角度范围内提供背光照明。 在受限制的视角模式中,只有一个光源处于活动状态,并且在限制的角度范围内以更集中的方式发射背光。 在高亮度限制视角模式中,主动光源以升高的水平被驱动。
