Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a housing, a sensor array including a first camera module having a first field of view, a second camera module having a second field of view different from the first field of view, and a light source, and a rear cover formed from a glass material and defining a raised sensor array region positioned over the sensor array. The raised sensor array region defines a first hole extending through the rear cover and positioned proximate a first corner region of the raised sensor array region, and a second hole extending through the rear cover and positioned proximate a second corner region diagonal from the first corner region. The first camera module includes a first camera housing defining a recess at a corner of the first camera housing, and the second camera module includes a second camera housing extending into the recess.

Abstract: A mobile phone may include an enclosure including a front cover assembly defining a front exterior surface of the enclosure, a rear cover assembly defining a rear exterior surface of the enclosure, and a housing subassembly positioned between the front cover assembly and the rear cover assembly. The housing subassembly may include a first housing component defining a first side exterior surface of the enclosure, a second housing component defining a second side exterior surface of the enclosure opposite the first side exterior surface of the enclosure, and a lower chassis section extending between the first housing component and the second housing component. The mobile phone may further include a camera array coupled to the lower chassis section and positioned in an interior cavity defined between the lower chassis section and the front cover assembly.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with pixels configured to display an image. The pixels may be overlapped by a cover layer. The display may have peripheral edges with curved cross-sectional profiles. An inactive area in the display may be formed along a peripheral edge of the display or may be surrounded by the pixels. Electrical components such as optical components may be located in the inactive area. An image transport layer may be formed from a coherent fiber bundle or Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may overlap the pixels, may have an opening that overlaps portions of the inactive area, may have an output surface that overlap portions of the inactive area, and/or may convey light associated with optical components in the electronic device.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an enclosure for an electronic device. In one aspect, an embodiment includes an enclosure having an enclosure component and an internal component that may be affixed along a bonding region. The enclosure component may be formed from an enclosure material and defines an exterior surface of the enclosure and an opening configured to receive a display. The internal component may be formed from a metal material different than the enclosure material. The bonding region may include an interstitial material that has a melting temperature that is less than a melting temperature of either one of the enclosure material or the metal material. The bonding region may also include one or more of the enclosure material or the metal material.

Abstract: A ceramic material, such as sapphire, is irradiated using a laser-based process to form a cut. In some implementations, a region of the ceramic material adjacent to the cut may be heated. The region may be removed to form an edge feature. In various implementations, the region of the ceramic material adjacent to the cut may be shielded from an outer portion of a laser beam used in the laser-based process using a shield, such as a polyethylene film. This removal and/or shielding operations may improve the mechanical strength of the ceramic material.
