  • Electronic device with hidden gap between frame and lens
    Patent number: 9110217
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided and includes a substrate assembly comprising a first area and a frame at a periphery of the first area and a lens, which is configured to be affixed to the first area, and which comprises a second area and a curved area at a periphery of the second area. The curved area is separated from the frame by a gap and is configured to reflect light across the gap to hide the gap from an observer looking into the gap.
