A flexible electronic device may include a flexible display, a flexible housing and one or more flexible internal components configured to allow the flexible electronic device to be deformed. Flexible displays may include flexible display layers, flexible touch-sensitive layers, and flexible display cover layers. The flexible housing may be a multi-stable flexible housing having one or more stable positions. The flexible housing may include a configurable support structure that, when engaged, provides a rigid support structure for the flexible housing. The flexible internal components may include flexible batteries, flexible printed circuits or other flexible components. A flexible battery may include flexible and rigid portions or may include a lubricious separator layer that provides flexibility for the flexible battery. A flexible printed circuit may include flexible and rigid portions or openings that allow some rigid portions to flex with respect to other rigid portions.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a display having an active area and an inactive area. The display may include a cover layer and an array of pixels that emit light through the cover layer in the active area. An opaque masking layer may be formed on an inner surface of the cover layer in the inactive area. A touch sensor may include touch sensor electrodes under the opaque masking layer in the inactive area to detect touches near electronic components that are mounted in the inactive area. Operation of the electronic components may be controlled based on signals from the touch sensor in the inactive area. The touch sensor may be formed from capacitive touch sensor electrodes. The capacitive touch sensor electrodes may be formed on the same substrate as an adjacent electronic component or may be formed as an extension of an existing touch sensor in the display.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a conductive housing. A dielectric structure may be mounted in the conductive housing to form an antenna window. An electrical component such as a camera, light sensor, or other device may press against a conductive foam structure. A printed circuit may have conductive traces that form an antenna ground and antenna resonating element. The printed circuit may be wrapped around a support structure. The electrical component, the conductive foam structure, and the printed circuit wrapped around the support structure may be compressed between a display cover layer and the antenna window. A camera window may be attached to a camera window trim using multiple adhesives. The trim may have a curved exterior surface that matches a curved housing surface. A flexible printed circuit cable may have a folded portion. A band structure may surround the folded portion to form a service loop.
