Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. Inactive portions of the display such as peripheral portions of the display may be masked using an opaque masking layer. An opening may be provided in the opaque masking layer to allow light to pass. For example, a logo may be viewed through an opening in the opaque masking layer and a camera may receive light through an opening in the opaque masking layer. The display may include upper and lower polarizers, a color filter layer, and a thin-film transistor layer. The opaque masking layer may be formed on the upper polarizer, may be interposed between the upper polarizer and the color filter layer, or may be interposed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer. The upper polarizer may have unpolarized windows for cameras, logos, or other internal structures.

Abstract translation: 电子设备可以具有显示器。 可以使用不透明掩模层掩蔽诸如显示器的周边部分的显示器的非活动部分。 可以在不透明掩模层中提供开口以允许光通过。 例如，可以通过不透明掩模层中的开口来观看徽标，并且相机可以通过不透明掩模层中的开口接收光。 显示器可以包括上偏振器，下偏振器，滤色器层和薄膜晶体管层。 不透明掩模层可以形成在上偏振器上，可以插入在上偏振器和滤色器层之间，或者可以插入在滤色器层和薄膜晶体管层之间。 上偏振器可以具有用于照相机，标识或其他内部结构的非偏振窗口。
