Electronic devices with curved display surfaces

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing;
• a pixel array;
• a display cover layer that is coupled to the housing and overlaps the pixel array, the display cover layer having a peripheral edge with a curved cross-sectional profile;
• a light diffusing layer between a guest-host liquid crystal layer, configured to preferentially absorb light associated with a color cast as a function of increasing angle relative to a surface normal of the pixel array, and the display cover layer;
• and
• a linear polarizer between the light diffusing layer and the guest-host liquid crystal layer configured to preferentially absorb the light associated with the color cast as the function of increasing angle relative to the surface normal of the pixel array.

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing;
• a pixel array configured to produce an image;
• a display cover layer that overlaps the pixel array, wherein the display cover layer has a peripheral edge with a curved cross-sectional profile;
• an optically transparent layer between the display cover layer and the pixel array and configured to shunt off-axis light associated with a color cast of the image away from the peripheral edge with the curved cross-sectional profile and into a band below the peripheral edge with the curved cross-sectional profile;
• and
• an antireflection layer between the display cover layer and the pixel array and configured to exhibit wavelength-dependent light transmission by passing more light of a first wavelength than light of a second wavelength and by reflecting more light of the second wavelength than light of the first wavelength, wherein the antireflection layer is configured to receive additional off-axis light of the first wavelength emitted by the pixel array and reflected back at an outer surface of the display cover layer and is configured to pass the additional off-axis light of the first wavelength after being reflected back at the outer surface of the display cover layer toward the pixel array.
