Electronic Device with Inverted Liquid Crystal Display

摘要

An electronic device may have a liquid crystal display with backlight structures. The backlight structures may produce backlight that passes through an array of display pixels. The display pixels may include electrode structures and thin-film transistor structures for controlling electric fields in a layer of liquid crystal material. The liquid crystal material may be formed between an outer display layer and an inner display layer. The inner display layer may be interposed between the backlight structures and the liquid crystal material. Thin-film transistor structures, electrodes, and conductive interconnection lines may be deposited in a layer on the inner surface of the outer display layer. A layer of color filter elements may be used to provide the display with color pixels. The color filter elements may be formed on top of the thin-film transistor layer or on a separate color filter array substrate such as the inner display layer.

主权项

1. A display having an active area and an inactive area, the display comprising:
a thin-film transistor layer; a color filter layer; a backlight; liquid crystal material, wherein the liquid crystal material is interposed between the thin-film transistor layer and the color filter layer and wherein the color filter layer is interposed between the liquid crystal material and the backlight; an opaque matrix formed on the color filter layer; and a layer of opaque masking material on the thin-film transistor layer, wherein the layer of opaque masking material is formed in the inactive area of the display and does not extend into the active area of the display.
