Electronic devices with curved displays

An electronic device, comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• a display coupled to the housing, wherein the display includes at least one display panel having an array of pixels configured to display an image and includes a separate flexible elastomeric interconnect substrate that is coupled to the display panel with adhesive, wherein the display panel has inwardly facing contacts that connect with corresponding outwardly facing contacts on the flexible elastomeric interconnect substrate using conductive material, wherein the adhesive surrounds the conductive material and comprises an elastomer configured to deform when portions of the display panel and the flexible elastomeric interconnect structure move relative to each other, and wherein the flexible elastomeric interconnect substrate comprises metal traces forming interconnects that are coupled to the outwardly facing contacts.

A display, comprising:

• display panel tiles each of which has pixels and an embedded integrated circuit that is electrically coupled to the pixels of that display panel tile;
• and
• a flexible interconnect substrate containing an array of slot-shaped openings and metal traces forming interconnects, wherein the flexible interconnect substrate has an area of compound curvature overlapped by at least some of the display panel tiles, wherein the flexible interconnect substrate is in a stretched state to conform to the area of compound curvature, wherein the display panel tiles each have display panel tile contacts that mate with corresponding flexible interconnect substrate contacts on the flexible interconnect substrate, wherein at least some of the flexible interconnect substrate contacts are configured to be in rotationally offset positions when the flexible interconnect substrate is in an un-stretched state, and wherein the flexible interconnect substrate contacts are configured to move from the rotationally offset positions to rotationally aligned positions in response to stretching of the array of slot-shaped openings when the flexible interconnect substrate is in the stretched state.
