Displays with low reflectance border regions

摘要

An electronic device may have a display such as a liquid crystal display. A color filter layer may be formed on a display layer such as a transparent substrate layer of the display. The color filter layer may include an array of color filter elements on an inner surface of the transparent substrate layer. The color filter layer may include opaque masking material. In an inactive portion of the display, the opaque masking material may be formed over the color filter elements and interposed between the color filter elements. In the inactive portion of the display, the opaque masking material and the color filter elements may form a ring that serves as a border region surrounding an active portion of the display. In the active portion of the display, the opaque masking layer may be patterned to from an opaque matrix that separates the color filter elements.

主权项

1. A display, comprising:
a first set of color filter elements in an active region of the display; a second set of color filter elements in an inactive region of the display; opaque masking material, wherein adjacent color filter elements in the first set of color filter elements are separated by the opaque masking material, and wherein adjacent color filter elements in the second set of color filter elements are separated by the opaque masking material; and a planarization layer that covers the first and second sets of color filter elements, wherein the planarization layer is in direct contact with the first set of color filter elements, and wherein the planarization layer and the second set of color filter elements are not in direct contact.
