Electronic device display and housing assembly

An electronic device, comprising:

• a housing sidewall having an upper sidewall portion and a lower sidewall portion bonded to a middle sidewall portion, the middle sidewall portion disposed between the upper and lower sidewall portions, the housing defining an opening;
• a display disposed in the opening and defining a gap between the housing and the display;
• an epoxy seal disposed between the display and the housing, the epoxy extending laterally across the gap, and the epoxy seal bonded directly to the middle sidewall portion;
• and
• an antenna component disposed between the epoxy seal and the display, the antenna layer defining a cavity in communication with an external environment through the gap.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a sidewall defining an internal volume and an opening, the sidewall including:
• an upper portion;
• a lower portion;
• and
• a middle portion disposed between and bonded to the upper portion and the lower portion;
• a display cover disposed in the opening and defining the internal volume;
• a side cavity defined by the display cover and the sidewall, the cavity in fluid communication with an external environment through a gap formed between the display cover and the sidewall;
• an epoxy layer contacting the lower portion and the middle portion and at least partially defining the cavity;
• and
• an antenna layer disposed between the epoxy layer and the display cover and defining the cavity such that the antenna layer is in fluid communication with the external environment.
