Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing defining a side wall, a display, a front cover positioned over the display, and an input system configured to receive a rotational input and a translational input. The input system may include a crown including a knob external to the housing and a rotor coupled to the knob and configured to rotate in response to the rotational input and translate in response to the translational input. The input system may further include a first laser module configured to direct a first laser beam onto the rotor and receive first reflected light from the rotor, a second laser module configured to direct a second laser beam onto the rotor and receive second reflected light from the rotor. The electronic watch may further include a processing system coupled to the first and second laser modules and configured to determine a parameter of the rotational input.

Abstract: A portable electronic device can include a housing that at least partially defines an internal volume and an external surface of the device. The housing can include an electromagnetically transparent portion that partially defines the exterior surface. The portable electronic device can include an antenna disposed in the internal volume and a sensing circuit disposed in the internal volume to receive a signal transmitted from the antenna.

Abstract: An electronic watch may include a housing and a crown configured to receive a rotational input. The crown may include a knob external to the housing, a rotor coupled to the knob and configured to rotate in response to the rotational input, the rotor defining a recess extending about a circumference of the rotor, and a coating positioned in the recess and configured to reflect at least a portion of light incident on the coating. The electronic watch may further include an optical sensing system configured to detect the rotational input using the reflected portion of the light.

Abstract: Methods for chemically strengthening a cover for an electronic are disclosed. The methods include removing material from a mounting surface of the cover to counteract warping of the mounting surface due to ion exchange. The chemically strengthened covers have a high bend strength and allow a strong seal to be formed between the cover and an enclosure component.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an electronic watch that includes a housing defining a side wall and a display positioned at least partially in the housing. The electronic watch can include an input system that includes a mounting bracket coupled to the side wall, a crown coupled to the mounting bracket and configured to rotate and translate with respect to the housing and a flex plate coupled to the mounting bracket and configured to bend in response to translation of the crown. The input system can include a sensor element coupled to the flex plate and configured to output a signal indicating an amount of the bend of the flex plate.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be mounted in a housing. Electronic components may be mounted in an interior region of the device. The display may have an array of pixels configured to display an image. A border region such as a ring-shaped border may run along the outermost peripheral edge of the array of pixels. The display may be covered by a transparent display cover layer. The transparent display cover layer may have opposing inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface may face the interior region of the device. A laser-marked light-scattering structure may be embedded within an interior portion of the display cover layer between the inner and outer surfaces. The light-scattering structure may be located in the border region and may be illuminated by a light-emitting device.
