    摘要: Exemplary arrangements include devices that are operable to output three-dimensional images. Such devices may utilize a matrix of relatively movable light guides. The light guides are utilized to display visual images therethrough and may also be selectively movable axially to provide three-dimensional contours to displayed images. Other exemplary arrangements may utilize a matrix of light guides or similar structures that are displaceable, to provide inputs that can be correlated with data or other information and utilized for various purposes. Other exemplary arrangements may be utilized to provide visual representations corresponding to audible signals or other signals to provide improved multisensory experiences. Devices and methods of the types described can be utilized in many different contexts and applications to provide benefits and useful results.

    摘要: An electronic device may have a display, a display cover layer, and an image transport layer formed from a coherent fiber bundle. The coherent fiber bundle may have an input surface that receives an image from the display and a corresponding output surface to which the image is provide through the coherent fiber bundle. The coherent fiber bundle may be placed between the display and the display cover layer and mounted to a housing. The coherent fiber bundle may have fiber cores with bends that help conceal the housing from view and make the display appear borderless. A central portion of the coherent fiber bundle may be formed from different materials and/or structures than a surrounding border portion of the layer.
