An electronic device may be provided with a display. An opaque layer may be formed on an inner surface of a display cover layer in an inactive area of the display. An optical component window may be formed from the opening and may be aligned with an ambient light sensor such as a color ambient light sensor. The color ambient light sensor may have photodetectors on a light detector integrated circuit. Electrostatic shielding may be incorporated into the color ambient light sensor to prevent perturbations in the output of the color ambient light sensor due to the presence of electrostatic charge in the vicinity of the optical component window. The shielding may include a grounded shield layer on a surface of an ambient light sensor support structure that faces the display cover layer and may include a transparent shield layer overlapping the photodetectors.

A touch panel having a noise guiding member for guiding noise current such as static electricity generated during operating is provided. The noise guiding member is made of a metal material, and is arranged in a position that a front surface side end portion does not project from a front surface of a housing unit. In a state that a back surface side end portion is connected to the ground G, the noise guiding member passes through a back surface from the front surface of the housing unit. The touch panel can reduce manufacturing costs without design restriction, and control adverse effect subjecting by noise current due to external discharge such as static electricity generated when operating the touch panel.

Embodiments disclosed herein include devices and methods for shielding an electrical device. The electrical device shield tool may include an expanding and contracting mechanism; and a body coupled to the expanding and contracting mechanism. The body can include a first half slidably coupled to a second half that are capable of movement, as the body expands to increase an opening with respect to a movement of the expanding and contracting mechanism. Furthermore, the electrical device shield tool can include grooves, that receive protruding edges of the metal enclosure to affix the body to the metal enclosure and form a barrier for the electrical device from the metal enclosure.

Provided is a display apparatus including a bezel that is improved to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). The display apparatus includes a display panel on which an image is to be displayed, a chassis arranged at a rear side of the display panel and including a conductive material, a bezel configured to support the display panel and including a non-conductive material, and an adhesive including a conductive material and coated on an inner side surface of the bezel such that static electricity is guided away from being discharged toward an inside of the display apparatus.

Provided is a method for making a composite structure with exposed conductive fibers. The exposed conductive fibers can be used for static dissipation. In the present method, a liquid, gum, gel, or impermeable film mask is applied to the conductive fiber material. The mask functions to prevent infiltration of curable liquid resin into the conductive fiber material. The masked conductive fiber material is incorporated into the composite structure, along with structural fiber material. The liquid resin is cured. The mask material and cured resin are removed from the masked areas, thereby exposing the conductive fiber material. The exposed conductive fiber material can collect and drain electrostatic charges. The present method can be used to make storage tanks and other objects that require electrostatic charge dissipation.
