Abstract
An electronic device having a display with an infrared component (such as a camera, a light source) behind the display. The layer of the display is transparent to infrared light at which the infrared component operates. Infrared sensing functions, when implemented by the component, may be accomplished by transmission of infrared light through the layer of the display, thereby removing the conventional need for cut-outs or holes in the display plane and maximizing the display area.
