1. A method comprising:
- providing a mask associated with a plurality of layers in an electronic display, wherein the plurality of layers comprises a display layer and an activating layer;
forming a hollow corresponding to the mask within a display substrate associated with the display layer, and an activating substrate associated with the activating layer to create a hollowed substrate, the hollowed substrate comprising a hollowed display substrate and a hollowed activating substrate;
distributing a plurality of row and column electrodes associated with the display layer, wherein the plurality of row electrodes and column electrodes are distributed on the display substrate in a modified grid-like pattern circumventing the hollow corresponding to the mask;
combining the display layer and the activating layer to obtain the electronic display, wherein the electronic display comprises the hollow; and
disposing a sensor inside the hollow.

Abstract
Presented here are manufacturing techniques to create an irregularly shaped electronic display, including a hollow within which a sensor, such as a camera, can be placed. The manufacturing techniques enable the creation of the hollow anytime during the manufacturing process. The resulting electronic display occupies the full side of the mobile device, with the sensors placed within and surrounded by the display.
