Antenna Integrated Display

A method of manufacturing a display assembly, the method comprising:

• forming a display cover having an internal volume with a central portion and a peripheral portion;
• arranging a display having a first display area, a second display area, and a non-pixelated region within the internal volume, the first display area being disposed within the central portion of the internal volume and having a first plurality of pixels, the second display area being disposed at least partially within the peripheral portion of the internal volume and having a second plurality of pixels, the second display area extending around a periphery of the first display area, the non-pixelated region being disposed within the internal volume between the first and second display areas and around the periphery of the first display area, the non-pixelated region comprising an antenna region with at least one antenna;
• and
• printing, with an electrically conductive ink, an opaque coating onto an inner surface of the display cover, wherein the opaque coating covers at least a portion of the antenna in the non-pixelated region.

A wearable computing device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a display cover positioned on the housing, the display cover defining an internal volume having a central portion and a peripheral portion;
• and
• a display comprising:
• a first display area disposed within the central portion of the internal volume and having a first plurality of pixels;
• a second display area disposed at least partially within the peripheral portion of the internal volume and having a second plurality of pixels, the second display area extending around a periphery of the first display area;
• and
• a non-pixelated region disposed within the internal volume between the first and second display areas and around the periphery of the first display area;
• an antenna region comprising at least one antenna arranged within the non-pixelated region;
• and
• an opaque coating arranged on an inner surface of the display cover so as to cover the antenna arranged within the non-pixelated region.
