Embodiment Construction

[0018] One or more specific embodiments are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It should be recognized that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as conforming to requirements that may vary from implementation to implementation. System-related and transaction-related constraints. In addition, it should be recognized that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nonetheless be a routine undertaking of design, production, and fabrication for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0019] The current embodiments relate to techniques for effectively increasing the perceived display area of ​​an electronic device display. These technique...

Abstract

A system and methods to extending the overall display area for a device are provided. At or near the borders of a device, pixel pitch between adjacent pixels may be increased such that overall pixel placement may be provided closer to a border of a display of a device. In one embodiment, pixel drive circuitry may be located in the spacing between adjacent pixels. Additionally, various optical systems and techniques may be utilized to provide an appearance of a lack of a border around the display such as decreasing the size of border pixels, overdriving the border pixels, or utilizing a light pipe on a surface above the border pixels.

Description

[0001] This patent application claims priority to US Patent Application 13 / 251,103, filed September 30, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to electronic displays and, more particularly, to increasing the overall visible area for organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. [0003] This section is intended to introduce the reader to various aspects of prior art that may be related to aspects of the present disclosure that are described and / or claimed below. It is believed that this discussion helps to provide the reader with background information in order to better understand the various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art. [0004] Flat panel displays, such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD), Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays, are commonly used...
