=== What materials are used in the construction of the display layers? ===

The materials used in the construction of the display layers include a display cover layer, a transparent inner display member, a display pixel layer, a touch sensor layer, and a ferromagnetic shielding layer.

=== How does the near-field communications loop antenna function in this device? ===

The near-field communications loop antenna functions by using coils of metal signal lines in the flexible printed circuit to transmit and receive signals for near-field communication purposes.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an electronic device may have a display. a display cover layer and a transparent inner display member may overlap a display pixel layer. the display pixel layer may have an array of display pixels for displaying images for a user. a touch sensor layer may be interposed between the display pixel layer and the transparent display member. a ferromagnetic shielding layer may be mounted below the display pixel layer. a flexible printed circuit containing coils of metal signal lines that form a near-field communications loop antenna may be interposed between the ferromagnetic shielding layer and the display pixel layer. a non-near-field antenna such as an inverted-f antenna may have a resonating element mounted on an inner surface of the display cover layer. the resonating element may be interposed between the transparent display member and the display cover layer.
