Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with displays. A display may have a light guide plate. Backlight for the display may be launched into the light guide plate from an array of light-emitting diodes. The light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a metal core printed circuit board having a dielectric layer and a metal layer. The metal core printed circuit board may have an elongated shape that extends along the surface of a metal structure. A weld may be formed along a seam between the metal layer of the metal core printed circuit board and the metal structure. The metal structure may be an electronic device housing, a display chassis member, a heat spreader, a heat pipe, or other structures in an electronic device.

Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with displays that have polarizers. A polarizer may be provided with an unpolarized strip. The unpolarized strip may extend across the width of the polarizer and may overlap a light-based component such as a camera that is located in an inactive border area of a display. The polarizer may have a polarizer layer formed form a polymer with a dichroic dye. A strip-shaped opening may be formed in the polarizer layer by cutting out a strip of the polarizer layer with a laser cutting tool or other equipment, a strip of unpolarized material may be formed in the polarizer layer using chemical bleaching, or light-based bleaching techniques may be used to form an unpolarized strip in the polarizer layer.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided with a display such as a liquid crystal display. The display includes a liquid crystal display module an array of display pixels. A backlight unit is used to provide backlight illumination to the display module. A shutter module having local dimming elements is used to locally control the amount of light that is transmitted through the display. The local dimming elements can be formed from liquid crystal display structures, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal display structures, photovoltaic material, electrowetting display structures, and/or other suitable light controlling elements. Each local dimming element controls the amount of light that is transmitted through an overlapping region of the array of display pixels. The local dimming elements may be arranged in a uniform array having rows and columns or may be shaped and sized differently and located in specific regions of the display.
