Abstract
An electronic device may be provided with a display and conductive sidewalls. The display may include conductive display structures and a cover layer. The cover layer may be mounted to the sidewalls. The sidewalls may define antenna apertures for antennas in the device. Grounding structures may be coupled between the conductive display structures and the sidewalls at locations that at least partially overlap the antenna apertures. The grounding structures may include conductive tape having an adhesive surface. The conductive tape may have a first end at which the adhesive surface is coupled to the conductive display structures. The conductive tape may have a second end that is folded around a layer of heat-activated film and that is coupled to both the display cover layer and the conductive sidewalls. Conductive tape overlapping each antenna aperture may be concurrently assembled into the electronic device as the display is mounted to the sidewalls.
