Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure formed of a plurality of layers cooperating to define an interior volume. The enclosure includes a first layer formed of a first material and defining a user input surface of the enclosure and a first portion of a side surface of the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a second layer, formed of a second material different from the first material, positioned below the first layer and defining a second portion of the side surface of the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a third layer, formed of a third material different from the first and second materials, positioned below the second layer and defining a bottom surface of the enclosure and a third portion of the side surface of the enclosure.

Abstract: Unitary structures having conductive portions electrically separated by non-conductive portions are described. In some embodiments, the non-conductive portions are made of metal oxide. In some embodiments, the method involves an oxidizing process adapted to convert an entire thickness at a selected portion of a metal substrate to a metal oxide, thereby creating metal portions that are electrically isolated from one another. In some embodiments, the thickness of the metal substrate is reduced at certain regions prior to oxidizing in order to provide a sufficiently thin metal for complete oxidization through the entire thickness. In some embodiments, the oxidizing process involves a plasma electrolytic oxidation process. In some embodiments, the plasma is concentrated at certain regions of the substrate for preferential oxidation. Applications for the substrate include enclosures and electrical components for electronic devices that use radio frequency communication.
Abstract translation: 描述具有由非导电部分电隔离的导电部分的单一结构。 在一些实施例中,非导电部分由金属氧化物制成。 在一些实施例中,该方法涉及一种氧化工艺,其适用于将金属衬底的选定部分处的整个厚度转换为金属氧化物,从而产生彼此电隔离的金属部分。 在一些实施例中,金属基板的厚度在氧化之前在某些区域被减小,以便提供足够薄的金属以在整个厚度上完全氧化。 在一些实施方案中,氧化工艺涉及等离子体电解氧化工艺。 在一些实施例中,等离子体被浓缩在衬底的某些区域以进行优先氧化。 用于基板的应用包括使用射频通信的电子设备的外壳和电气部件。

Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.
