Displays with coherent fiber bundles

摘要

A display may have an array of display pixels that generate an image. A coherent fiber bundle may be mounted on the display pixels. The coherent fiber bundle may have a first surface that is adjacent to the display pixels and a second surface that is visible to a viewer. The coherent fiber bundle may contain fibers that carry light from the first surface to the second surface. The second surface may be planar or may have a central planar region and curved edge regions that run along opposing sides of the central planar region. The fibers may have cross-sectional surface areas with a first aspect ratio on the first surface and a second aspect ratio that is greater than the first aspect ratio on the second surface.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing having first and second ends and having first and second sidewalls that run parallel to each other between the first and second ends, wherein the first and second sidewalls have respective first and second top surfaces; display structures that include an array of display pixels interposed between the first and second sidewalls, wherein the array of display pixels are positioned below the respective first and second top surfaces of the first and second sidewalls; and a fiber bundle on the array of display pixels, wherein the fiber bundle has edge portions that overlap the first and second sidewalls, wherein the edge portions are positioned above the respective first and second top surfaces of the first and second sidewalls, wherein the fiber bundle forms a display surface which is viewed by a user, and wherein the display surface is curved in the edge portions of the fiber bundle.
