Electronic devices with shape-transforming displays

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.

ENHANCED REFELECTIVE LCD

The present invention concerns a watch (200) or a smart watch (200) having a low power consuming and a bright and enhanced low energy display (100) by using a low energy display (100) configured to display at least one piece of information and to convert at least one primary light (410) into at least one second light (420).

Method of producing display panels

A producing method includes a bonding process of bonding substrates in a pair one of which has thin film patterns and forming a bonded substrate, a cut forming process of forming a cut line CL1 on a border portion between the mounting area within the panel surface area and other area on the one substrate of the bonded substrate, a cutting process of cutting the bonded substrate into separated bonded substrate pieces, a grinding process of grinding the substrates in a pair that are outside the thin film pattern in each of the separated bonded substrates 50A along the outline and forming edge surfaces of the display panels each having the curved outline, and a removing process of cutting a part of the one substrate along the cut line and removing the part.

An array substrate and a wearable device are provided. The array substrate includes a base substrate. A first surface of the base substrate is provided with a plurality of first signal lines having a concentric arc shape and a plurality of second signal lines linearly arranged along a radial direction of the first signal lines. A first driving circuit connected to the respective first signal lines is provided on the first surface or a second surface of the base substrate and a second driving circuit connected to the respective second signal lines is provided on the first surface or a second surface of the base substrate. In the array substrate, since the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit are both positioned within a display region, the screen proportion of the display region is improved, thereby achieving a narrow bezel design or even bezel-free design for the wearable device.
