Bezel-Less Display Mounts

Abstract: this document describes systems and techniques directed at bezel-less display mounts for foldable electronic devices. in aspects, a foldable electronic device includes a housing with a display recess that includes an inwardly projecting ledge. a foldable display structure, which includes a display panel and a cover layer, is positioned in the display recess. in aspects, the cover layer includes a variable thickness along at least one dimension. the cover layer defines an extension portion that extends beyond one or more edges of the display panel. a back adhesive portion is disposed between the bottom face of the display panel and the bottom of the housing and a perimeter adhesive portion is disposed between the extension portion of the cover layer and the ledge. in this way, the foldable electronic device can do away with a bezel (e.g., display trim) that would otherwise surround a perimeter of the display panel.
