Electronic devices with antennas formed with optically-transparent films and related methods are provided. In this regard, a representative device includes a housing defining a cavity; a display disposed within the cavity; a cover disposed over the display and forming a portion of an exterior of the device; an optically transparent, electrically conductive film disposed within the cavity; and an antenna disposed within the cavity, the antenna being at least partially defined by the film, the film being operative as a ground plane for the antenna.

Mobile devices with conductive liquid antennas and related methods are provided. In this regard, a representative mobile device includes a first antenna having a first channel and a first liquid, the first channel defining a first interior volume, the first liquid being electrically conductive and located within the first channel, the first liquid further exhibiting a first volume smaller than the first interior volume; and a first antenna feed mounted such that, responsive to the device being in a first orientation, the first liquid electrically communicates with the first antenna feed.

Mobile devices with conductive liquid antennas and related methods

The invention relates to hand-held electronic devices that can have a spherical, cylindrical or other curved surface and an output display providing output visible on the curved surface. The interior region of the device can house receiver circuitry coupled to an antenna to enable reception of transmitted radio signals, display control circuitry, physical stimulus processing circuitry, a microprocessor, data storage memory, and a battery. Display and antenna configurations and data processing methods are also disclosed.
