Summary: | An electronic device may have a housing in which a display and other components are mounted. Audio components such as a speaker and microphone and other electrical components may be mounted in an interior portion of the housing. A housing port may be formed from one or more openings that pass through the housing. The audio or other component may be aligned with the housing port. A shutter may be interposed between the component and the housing port. The shutter may have an electrically controlled positioner for positioning a movable shutter member. The shutter may be closed by placing the shutter member in a position in which the openings are blocked, preventing intrusion of contaminants into the interior portion of the housing. The shutter may be opened by placing the shutter member in a position in which the openings are unblocked, allowing sound to pass through the housing port. |
