An electronic device having two or more opposing sides is disclosed. The electronic device comprises a display module, a window on the display module, and a frame at least partly surrounding the display module. The frame comprises, at two or more opposing sides of the electronic device, a side portion and an upper portion extending a determined distance from the side portion towards the opposing side of the electronic device and ending at an inner edge defining an opening having a width smaller than the width of the display module. The display module has an active area and an inactive area. The display module is disposed within the frame so that at least a part of the inactive area is disposed below and covered by the upper portion, at least a part of the active area being visible through the opening. The window is disposed in the opening.

A display integrated pressure sensor is described. In an example, a device comprises: a display including a plurality of layers; a layer of pressure sensitive material having particles; conductivity of the pressure sensitive material is configured to change when the layer experiences deformation; a layer of conductor lines configured to detect the change of the conductivity of the pressure sensitive material; the layer of conductor lines includes a plurality of contacting points with the pressure sensitive material; the layer of pressure sensitive material and the conductor lines are configured to be integrated within the display. In other examples, a manufacturing method and a display module are discussed along with the features of the device.
