Abstract: An electronic device includes a stack assembly and a cover glass. The stack assembly includes an electronic paper display sub-assembly for rendering content, a front light sub-assembly for illuminating the electronic display sub-assembly, and a capacitive touch sensing sub-assembly for detecting touch inputs. The cover glass includes two apertures for the placement of control buttons for the electronic device. Prior to assembly of the electronic device, the cover glass is strengthened after the two apertures are formed so as to strengthen the interior edges of the apertures.

Abstract: A multifunctional device layer may include a lightguide substrate having an optically patterned surface and an opposing non-patterned surface. The non-patterned surface of the lightguide substrate is coated with a first material having a first refractive index and the patterned surface is coated with a second material having a second refractive index. The first refractive index may be lower than the second refractive index and each may be lower than a refractive index of the lightguide substrate. A touch sensor may be formed on the coated non-patterned surface of the lightguide substrate, the coated patterned surface, or on an interstitial layer deposited on the coated non-patterned surface or the coated patterned surface. An anti-glare/anti-reflective coating potentially having ultraviolet (UV) absorption properties may be applied to the touch sensor.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display for rendering content. The display may include a protective sheet that is located between an image-displaying component and a liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA) that adheres another component layered atop the display, such as a front light, a touch sensor or a cover layer. In some cases, the protective sheet may be a polymer sheet coated with a layer of ceramic material that prevents migration of a reactive species, such as a photoinitiator, between the protective sheet and the LOCA. Alternatively, a plasma treatment, a UV-light-ozone treatment, or a thermal treatment may be applied to the protective sheet to remove material including the reactive species and/or form a barrier layer to prevent migration of the reactive species. Still alternatively, the protective sheet may be a thin flexible glass sheet that does not include constituents that interact with the LOCA.

Abstract: An electronic device with a flexible display subassembly is provided. The display stack may use two layers of adhesives having different elastic properties to improve mechanical impact resistance, with a first adhesive layer made of a viscoelastic material and a second adhesive layer having a low modulus of elasticity. The display stack may also include a hot melt protective sheet (HMPS) covering the display subassembly. The HMPS may be wrapped around the two side edges of a rigid substrate to attach directly to the substrate, thereby aiding in the adhesion of the display stack to the substrate. The display stack may also includes a patterned back protective sheet in which the protective backing layer is removed along the curved portions of the display stack.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and devices useful for adhering a first substrate of a display to a second substrate of the display. In example embodiments, a first plate may be sealed to the first substrate, and a second plate may be sealed to the second substrate. In addition, a layer of adhesive may be disposed between the first and second substrates to assist in adhering the first substrate to the second substrate. A pressure may then be applied to the first and second plates as well as the first and second substrates to assist in the adhesion process. In example embodiments, the first plate may assist in applying pressure proximate a perimeter of the first substrate such that the perimeter of the first substrate adheres to a perimeter of the second substrate.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a stack assembly. The stack assembly is provided with a stack of sub-assemblies such as a display for rendering content, front lighting layered on top of the display for illuminating the display, a capacitive touch sensor layered on top of the front lighting for detecting touch inputs, and a cover glass layered on top of the capacitive touch sensor. Each sub-assembly is adhered to another sub-assembly with a film optically clear adhesive before coupling sub-assemblies with each other, which forms a touch-sensitive front-lit display that is capable of accepting user input and rendering content in low ambient light conditions.
