1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a curved cover layer for a display coupled to the housing;
a display pixel layer for the display that overlaps the curved cover layer at an active area of the display;
an antenna resonating element for an antenna that overlaps the curved cover layer at an inactive area of the display;
a conductive coil in the housing that runs along a periphery of the display; and
a biasing structure configured to press the antenna resonating element against the curved cover layer at the inactive area of the display.
