Abstract
Bezel-concealing display covers and display devices are disclosed. In one example, a bezel-concealing display cover includes a bezel and a display panel includes a perimeter portion having a first surface and a second surface such that the perimeter portion is configured to be offset from the bezel of the display device by a gap G. The bezel-concealing display cover further includes a first array of prisms on at least one of the first surface or the second surface of the perimeter portion that extend from an edge of the perimeter portion to a distance L. Each prism of the first array of prisms has a prism angle θ, and the first array of prisms is configured to shift a portion of an image proximate the bezel produced by the display panel such that the shifted portion of the image appears over the bezel to an observer.
