Abstract
A thin border display for an electronic device may comprise an optical assembly that includes a support frame and an electrophoretic display (EPD) structure attached to the support frame in a manner that allows for the display of the electronic device to exhibit a 'thin border' or 'borderless' look at a periphery of the electronic device. A portion of the EPD structure may at least partly curve around a curved portion of the support frame, the curved portion of the support frame being near the periphery of the support frame. In some embodiments, the EPD structure includes a transparent protective substrate disposed on a rear surface of a flexible backplane substrate within the flat outer region where a driver chip is disposed on a front surface of the flexible backplane substrate. The transparent protective substrate protects the driver chip attachment from being damaged during manufacture.
