    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display cover layer mounted to the device using an adhesive bond with a display. The display may be a flexible display. The flexible display may include Organic Light Emitting Diode display technology. The display may be mounted to a rigid support structure. The rigid support structure may be mounted to a device housing member. Mounting the display cover layer to the display may eliminate the need to mount the display cover layer to the device housing and may allow active display pixels to be visible under the display cover layer closer to the device housing than in conventional devices. Providing the electronic device with active display pixels closer to the device housing may reduce the need for an inactive border around the display and may improve the aesthetic appeal of the electronic device.

    Abstract: Electronic devices may include displays. A display may include backlight components such as a light guide plate that distributes light from a light source across the display. The light source may include a plurality of light-emitting diodes mounted on a printed circuit substrate. A portion of the light guide plate may be attached to the printed circuit substrate using adhesive. The adhesive may be a supported adhesive that includes a lining of reflective material. A reflective coating such as a layer of white coverlay may be formed on the surface of the printed circuit substrate and may be configured to reflect light into the light guide plate. The reflective coating may serve as a solder mask. The printed circuit substrate may be attached to a metal display chassis using adhesive. A shim may be used to raise the height of the light source relative to the printed circuit substrate.

    Abstract: The described embodiment relates generally to the manufacture of display assemblies. More particularly the use of alternative back plates for a display assembly is discussed. By using a printed circuit board (PCB) in lieu of a metal backer heat can be evenly spread across the backer by applying a layer of copper configured to normalize a spread of heat across the printed circuit board. The configuration of the copper layer can be configured based on a tested or simulated heat map that accounts for proximate heat producing elements. The PCB can also advantageously act as an interconnection layer between other electrical components disposed within the electronic device.

    Abstract: Brackets may be mated with or coupled to an opening of an electronic device enclosure or housing for receiving plug connectors to reinforce the receptacle connector and/or device housing and potentially reduce damage/breakage. For example, a bracket can have a front face with a curvature. A back face of the bracket can include a first opening that communicates with a cavity. The cavity can be defined at least in part by upper and lower opposing inner surfaces, the lower inner surface including a portion that extends parallel to a portion of the bracket front face. The bracket can also include a hollow protrusion extending from the bracket front face in a front direction. The hollow protrusion can include an opening that communicates with the opening of the back face and extends through the hollow protrusion. Methods for manufacturing the connector bracket are also provided.

    Abstract: A head-mountable device can include a frame, a window secured to the frame, and a securement arm. The securement arm of the device can include a proximal end secured to the frame, and a distal tip opposite the proximal end. A waveguide can be disposed in the securement arm and configured to direct light displayed at the window. Furthermore, an electronic port can be disposed at the distal tip and can also be electrically coupled to the waveguide.

    Abstract: A head-mountable device can include a frame, a window secured to the frame, and a securement arm extending from the frame. The securement arm can include a proximal end a distal tip opposite the proximal end. The securement arm can further include a waveguide, which can be configured to direct light at the window, and an electronic port disposed at the distal tip and electrically coupled to the waveguide. The securement arm can also include a housing that can include a proximal portion and a distal portion disposed at an angle to define an aperture. A battery, as well as a port, can be disposed in the housing, wherein the port can include the aperture and a contact electrically coupled to the battery. The contact, along with a retention feature, can further define the aperture. The securement arm can include an electronic port disposed at the distal tip, wherein the electronic port can be a selectively translatable electrical contact. The selectively translatable electrical contact can be an open configuration where the electrical contact can be exposed to an external environment and a closed configuration where the electrical contact can be inaccessible and disposed within the distal tip.
