Electronic Devices Having Displays With Openings
First Claim
1. A display, comprising:
- an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels; and
a flexible polymer substrate having first and second opposing surfaces and at least one opening that passes from the first surface to the second surface, wherein the array of organic light-emitting diode pixels is formed on the first surface, and wherein the signals are transmitted through the opening from the first surface to the second surface towards an electronic component behind the flexible polymer substrate.

Abstract
An electronic device may have a display. The display may have an active region in which display pixels are used to display images. The display may have one or more openings and may be mounted in a housing associated with the electronic device. An electronic component may be mounted in alignment with the openings in the display. The electronic component may include a camera, a light sensor, a light-based proximity sensor, status indicator lights, a light-based touch sensor array, a secondary display that has display pixels that may be viewed through the openings, antenna structures, a speaker, a microphone, or other acoustic, electromagnetic, or light-based component. One or more openings in the display may form a window through which a user of the device may view an external object. Display pixels in the window region may be used in forming a heads-up display.
