ABSTRACT:
A bezel-less display is disclosed that includes an electronic display device and a cover. The electronic display device has an image-displaying portion and another portion adjacent the image-displaying portion along at least one side. The cover is positioned adjacent the electronic display device and includes a first portion positioned adjacent the image-displaying portion of the display device and a second portion positioned adjacent the other portion of the display device. The optical properties of the first and second portions of the cover are selected to present an appearance of a uniform cover without a bezel when the display device is not displaying an image. The optical properties of the first portion are also selected to transmit images displayed on the image-displaying portion. Preferably, the optical properties of the second portion are selected to mask the other portion of the display device. A secondary display device may also be provided that presents an image, such as a logo, independently of whether the other or main electronic display device is displaying an image.
