Disclosed are image expanding lenses, display devices, and electronic devices incorporating the disclosed image expanding lenses. In accordance with a disclosed image expanding lens, the image viewed by the user is larger than the active area of the LCD panel underneath the lens, so that the border around, for example, the LCD display is hidden from viewing. The image expanding lenses may include a non-uniform transparent substrate, having for example, a wedge shape that may be the top surface of the display. The substrate in combination with prismatic films may bend the light output from an array of pixels so that the image hides the border of the display device. In this way, an electronic device can render an edgeless image to a viewer since the image of the electronic device is projected beyond an edge of the display device of the host electronic device.
