An electronic device includes one or more sensors, one or more processors operable with the one or more sensors, and a status indicator configured to indicate whether an authorized user of the electronic device is busy, free, or somewhere in between. The status indicator can operate in at least a first state and a second state that is different from the first state. The first state indicates the authorized user is busy and should not be disturbed, while the second state indicates the authorized user is free. Red light can be emitted in the first state, and green light in the second state. The state of the status indicator can be set manually, such as with a chopping gesture, or automatically, such as from calendar events stored in a calendaring operation.

An electronic device may have a housing with a display. The display may be overlapped by an image transport layer such as a coherent fiber bundle or layer of Anderson localization material. The image transport layer may have an input surface that receives an image from the display and a corresponding output surface to which the image is transported. The input surface and output surface may have different shapes. A wristwatch device may, as an example, have a rectangular or hexagonal input surface and may have an output surface such as a rectangular output surface with rounded corners or a circular output surface. A region of the output surface may have compound curvature. A portion of the image transport layer may protrude laterally over an inactive portion of the display.

Common noise is reduced from light-receiving data. A display module includes a display apparatus and a reading circuit. Each of a first pixel and a second pixel adjacent to each other in the display apparatus includes a light-receiving element and a light-emitting element. The reading circuit includes a differential input circuit. Common noise generated when display data is supplied to a light-emitting element, for example, may affect a first light-receiving signal output by the first pixel and a second light-receiving signal output by the second pixel. A first current is generated using the first light-receiving signal and a ramp signal, and a second current is generated using the second light-receiving signal and a first potential. The differential input circuit is controlled so that the first current and the second current have the same current value, whereby common noise can be removed from the first light-receiving signal.
