    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels. The device may have an array of components such as an array of light sensors for capturing fingerprints of a user through an array of corresponding transparent windows in the display. A capacitive touch sensor, proximity sensor, force sensor, or other sensor may be used by control circuitry in the device to monitor for the presence of a user's finger over the array of light sensors. In response, the control circuitry can direct the display to illuminate a subset of the pixels, thereby illuminating the user's finger and causing reflected light from the finger to illuminate the array of light sensors for a fingerprint capture operation. The display may have display driver circuitry that facilitates the momentary illumination of the subset of pixels with uniform flash data while image data is displayed in other portions of the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an organic light-emitting diode display with minimized border regions. The border regions may be minimized by providing the display with bent edge portions having neutral plane adjustment features that facilitate bending of the bent edge portions while minimizing damage to the bent edge portions. The neutral plane adjustment features may include a modified backfilm layer of the display in which portions of the backfilm layer are removed in a bend region. A display device may include a substrate, a display panel on the substrate having display pixels, and peripheral circuitry proximate the display panel and configured to drive the display pixels. A portion of the periphery of the substrate may be bent substantially orthogonal to the display panel to reduce an apparent surface area of the display device. The bent portion may include an electrode for communication with the peripheral circuitry.

    Abstract translation: 电子设备可以设置有具有最小边界区域的有机发光二极管显示器。 通过为显示器提供具有中立平面调整特征的弯曲边缘部分,可以使边缘区域最小化,这有利于弯曲边缘部分的弯曲同时最小化对弯曲边缘部分的损伤。 中性平面调整特征可以包括显示器的改进的背膜层,其中后膜层的部分在弯曲区域中被去除。 显示装置可以包括衬底,具有显示像素的衬底上的显示面板以及靠近显示面板的外围电路,并被配置为驱动显示像素。 基板的周边的一部分可以基本上垂直于显示面板弯曲,以减少显示装置的表观表面积。 弯曲部分可以包括用于与外围电路通信的电极。
