Electronic device displays with border masking layers

A display with an active area and an inactive border, comprising:

• a display layer having an array of display pixels in the active area and having reflecting metal structures in the inactive border;
• a reflection suppressing layer that suppresses reflections from the array of display pixels and that overlaps the reflecting metal structures in the inactive border;
• and
• an opaque masking layer in the inactive area that is located between the reflection suppressing layer and the display layer.

A display with an active area and an inactive border, comprising:

• an organic light-emitting diode layer having an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels in the active area and having support circuitry in the inactive area;
• a polarizer;
• a substrate between the polarizer and the organic light-emitting diode layer;
• an opaque masking layer on the substrate in the inactive area that overlaps the support circuitry;
• and
• a planarization layer on the substrate that overlaps the opaque masking layer, wherein the organic light-emitting diode layer is formed on the planarization layer.
