Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with light sensors. The electronic device may have an electronic device housing in which a display is mounted. The display may have a transparent layer such as a transparent display cover layer, a thin-film transistor layer, or a color filter layer. An opaque masking layer such as a layer of black ink may be used to cover an inner surface of the transparent layer in an inactive area of the display. Sensor window openings may be formed in the black ink layer. A layer of ink may be formed in each sensor window opening. Each layer of ink may have a diffuse reflectivity that is matched to that of the black ink. A diffuser layer such as a polymer coating layer with light-scattering particles may be coated on the inner surface of the layer of ink in a sensor window opening.

Abstract translation: 电子设备可以设置有光传感器。 电子设备可以具有安装显示器的电子设备外壳。 显示器可以具有透明层，例如透明显示覆盖层，薄膜晶体管层或滤色器层。 可以使用诸如黑色墨水层的不透明掩模层来覆盖显示器的无效区域中的透明层的内表面。 传感器窗口可以形成在黑色油墨层中。 可以在每个传感器窗口中形成一层墨水。 每层墨水可具有与黑色墨水相匹配的漫反射率。 诸如具有光散射颗粒的聚合物涂层之类的扩散层可以在传感器窗口中的油墨层的内表面上涂覆。
