A mobile phone may include a housing structure and a front cover assembly coupled to the housing structure and positioned over the battery. The front cover assembly may include a transparent cover defining at least a portion of a front exterior surface of the mobile phone and a display assembly coupled to the transparent cover and including a display element configured to produce graphical outputs visible through the transparent cover, a first conductive display cowling below a first region of the display element, and a second conductive display cowling below a second region of the display element and spaced apart from the first conductive display cowling, thereby forming a gap between the first conductive display cowling and the second conductive display cowling. The mobile phone may further include a battery positioned below the gap.

Handheld electronic device

An electronic device having a display assembly is disclosed. Several layers may combine to form the display assembly. For example, the display assembly may include a touch sensitive layer (or touch detection layer), a display layer that present visual information, and a force sensitive layer (or force detection layer). The display layer may include a bend or curve that allows a portion of the display layer to bend around the force sensitive layer. Also, the connectors (that provide electrical and mechanical connections) may be positioned at different locations of the layers. For example, the display layer may include a connector on a first edge region, and the force sensitive layer may include a connector on a second edge region that is perpendicular, or at least substantially perpendicular, to the first edge region. By positioning the connectors on perpendicular edge regions, the display assembly may reduce its footprint.

Display module and glass with undercut plastic frame

A strobe module can include a Fresnel lens that defines an external surface of the strobe module and a sidewall at least partially defining an internal volume and defining an external channel. A gasket can be disposed in the external channel. A substrate can be coupled to the sidewall to further define the internal volume and a light source can be disposed on the substrate in the internal volume.
