摘要： An electronic device such as a wearable electronic device may have a band. The band may form a stand-alone device or a strap for a wristwatch unit or other device. Electrical components may be mounted on flexible printed circuit substrates. A substrate may be encapsulated by elastomeric polymer material or other material forming the band. The elastomeric polymer material may form cavities that receive the electrical components. Components such as light-emitting diodes may be mounted to the flexible printed circuit substrates so that the light-emitting diodes are located in the cavities. Reflective sidewalls in the cavities may reflect light from the light-emitting diodes outwardly through a thinned portion of the band. Light-diffusing material in the cavities may be formed from clear polymer with light-scattering particles.

摘要： An electronic device display may have pixels formed from crystalline semiconductor light-emitting diode dies, organic light-emitting diodes or other pixel structures. The pixels may be formed in a display panel having a single substrate or an array of display panel tiles (24). The display panel has inwardly facing display panel contacts (56') that mate with corresponding outwardly facing interconnect substrate contacts (54) on an interconnect substrate (44). The interconnect substrate may have areas with compound curvature that are overlapped by the display panel. To enhance flexibility of the interconnect substrate, the interconnect substrate may have flexibility enhancement openings and/or may be formed from a material with a low elastic modulus such as silicone or other elastomeric material.

摘要： An electronic device may have a display overlapped by a display cover layer. Portions of the surface of the display and cover layer may have curved profiles. For example, a display cover layer may have transparent sidewall portions with curved surface profiles. The transparent sidewall portions of the display cover layer may include rounded comers having areas of compound curvature. A flexible display panel may be pressed over a mold to impart desired curvature (such as compound curvature) to the flexible display panel. To mitigate wrinkling in a flexible display panel molded to have compound curvature, a backfilm may be included that absorbs compressive strains in the display panel. The backfilm may have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is higher than that of the display panel. Instead or in addition, the backfilm may have portions with different Young's modulus magnitudes or different thickness magnitudes.

摘要： An electronic device such as a voice-controlled speaker device may have a housing characterized by a vertical longitudinal axis. A flexible substrate such as a flexible mesh substrate with component support regions coupled by flexible segments may be wrapped around the housing and the vertical axis. The housing may have surface regions with compound curvature. The flexible substrate may conform to the regions with compound curvature. A fabric spacer layer may be interposed between the flexible substrate and the housing. Electrical components such as input-output devices may be mounted to the component support regions. A display may be formed from an array of light-emitting devices that are mounted on respective component support regions. Light from the light-emitting devices may pass through the fabric spacer layer toward the housing and back out away from the housing. An outer fabric layer may cover the mesh.
