Patent number: 11782483Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques directed at uniformly narrow display bezels in portable electronic devices. In aspects, a portable electronic device includes a housing that houses a display panel stack having a chamfered, polyhedral cover layer bonded to a top of a display module. The cover layer may include a large chamfer between a top face and a side face, defining a chamfered face extending a perimeter of the cover layer. The chamfered face may be angled any number of degrees in a range from one to eighty-nine degrees to a horizontal plane defined by the top face of the cover layer, such that the chamfered face possesses a front-facing portion. The chamfered face may be adhered to a parallel or subparallel interior face of the housing. In such a configuration, an opaque border added to a face opposite of the top face may be imperceptible to a user, resulting in uniformly narrow display bezels.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael J. Lombardi, Joseph L. Allore, Chi-Jer Wang, Stuart Kyle, Ssu-Chieh Yu, Kuan-Ku Kuo
