1. A method comprising:
- providing a mask associated with a plurality of layers in an electronic display, wherein the plurality of layers comprises a color filter (CF) layer and a thin film transistor (TFT) layer;
forming a hollow corresponding to the mask within a CF substrate associated with the CF layer, and a TFT substrate associated with the TFT layer to create a hollowed substrate, the hollowed substrate comprising a hollowed CF substrate and a hollowed TFT substrate;
distributing a plurality of colors on the hollowed CF substrate;
distributing a plurality of thin film transistors on the hollowed TFT substrate;
distributing a plurality of row and column electrodes corresponding to the plurality of thin film transistors such that each row and column electrode in the plurality of row and column electrodes interrupted by the hollow circumvents the hollow;
combining the CF layer and the TFT 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.
