Display Having Polarizer with Unpolarized Strip

摘要

Electronic devices may be provided with displays that have polarizers. A polarizer may be provided with an unpolarized strip. The unpolarized strip may extend across the width of the polarizer and may overlap a light-based component such as a camera that is located in an inactive border area of a display. The polarizer may have a polarizer layer formed form a polymer with a dichroic dye. A strip-shaped opening may be formed in the polarizer layer by cutting out a strip of the polarizer layer with a laser cutting tool or other equipment, a strip of unpolarized material may be formed in the polarizer layer using chemical bleaching, or light-based bleaching techniques may be used to form an unpolarized strip in the polarizer layer.

主权项

1. A display, comprising:
a rectangular active area; an inactive border area that surrounds at least some of the rectangular active area; a light-based component in the inactive border area; and display layers that form an array of display pixels in the rectangular active area and that include a polarizer with an unpolarized strip that overlaps the light-based component.
