Displays With Color Filter Material In 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. The color filter layer may include an array of color filter elements on a central portion of a surface of the transparent substrate layer. The color filter layer may include a peripheral color filter of a single color that at least partially surrounds the color filter elements on the central portion of the inner surface. In an inactive portion of the display, an opaque masking material may be formed over the peripheral color filter. In an active portion of the display the opaque masking material may form a grid that covers interfaces between adjacent color filter elements. The peripheral color filter may completely cover the surface of the substrate in the entire inactive portion of the display.

主权项

1. A display, comprising:
a transparent substrate having a surface; an array of display pixels configured to display images in an active portion of the display, wherein the active portion of the display is surrounded by an inactive portion of the display; an array of color filter elements on the surface of the transparent substrate that are aligned with the display pixels in the active portion of the display; color filter material having a single color that covers the entire surface of the transparent substrate in the inactive portion of the display; and a layer of opaque masking material that covers at least the color filter material having the single color in the inactive portion of the display.
