Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with upper and lower housing portions that are separated by a gap. Hinge structures may allow the upper housing portion to rotate between a closed position and an open position. A flexible printed circuit in the electronic device may be coupled between components in the upper housing portion such as the display and components in the lower housing portion and may span the gap. A hinge gap cover may cover the gap and may overlap the flexible printed circuit to block the flexible printed circuit from view when the upper housing portion is in the closed position. The hinge gap cover may be formed from a layer of radio-transparent material that is rotatably coupled to the upper housing portion and that is biased towards the lower housing with a spring structure.

Abstract: A display may include a color filter layer, a liquid crystal layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. A camera window may be formed in the display to accommodate a camera. The camera window may be formed by creating a notch in the thin-film transistor layer that extends inwardly from the edge of the thin-film transistor layer. The notch may be formed by scribing the thin-film transistor layer around the notch location and breaking away a portion of the thin-film transistor layer. A camera window may also be formed by grinding a hole in the display. The hole may penetrate partway into the thin-film transistor layer, may penetrate through the transistor layer but not into the color filter layer, or may pass through the thin-film transistor layer and partly into the color filter layer.
Abstract translation: 显示器可以包括滤色器层，液晶层和薄膜晶体管层。 可以在显示器中形成相机窗口以容纳相机。 可以通过在薄膜晶体管层中形成从薄膜晶体管层的边缘向内延伸的凹口来形成相机窗口。 凹口可以通过在缺口位置周围刻划薄膜晶体管层并分离薄膜晶体管层的一部分来形成。 也可以通过研磨显示器中的孔来形成相机窗口。 该孔可以穿透薄膜晶体管层的中间部分，可以穿透晶体管层而不会进入滤色器层，或者可以穿过薄膜晶体管层并且部分地穿过滤色器层。
