    Abstract: A force-sensitive device for electronic device. The force inputs may be detected by measuring changes in capacitance, as measured by surface flex of a device having a flexible touchable surface, causing flex at a compressible gap within the device. A capacitive sensor responsive to changes in distance across the compressible gap. The sensor can be positioned above or below, or within, a display element, and above or below, or within, a backlight unit. The device can respond to bending, twisting, or other deformation, to adjust those zero force measurements. The device can use measure of surface flux that appear at positions on the surface not directly the subject of applied force, such as when the user presses on a part of the frame or a surface without capacitive sensors.

    Abstract: A sensor layer, such as a force sensor layer, can be in included in an electronic device. The sensor layer includes a patterned compliant layer that is positioned between a first substrate and a second substrate. The patterned compliant layer includes multiple angled compliant elements that are angled at one or more angles with respect to the first and second substrates.

    Abstract: Displays such as liquid crystal displays may be provided with transparent substrates that minimize light leakage from the display. The transparent substrates may include a thin-film transistor substrate having thin-film transistors formed on a surface of the thin-film transistor substrate and a color filter substrate having color filter elements formed on a surface of the color filter substrate. The thin-film transistor substrate may be formed from a material having a relatively low photo-elastic constant. The color filter substrate may be formed from a material having a relatively low photo-elastic constant. Reduced birefringence effects in the thin-film transistor substrate and the color filter substrate may help minimize light leakage from the display when some or all of the display experiences internal or external stresses.
