Bezel-less displays

A display design that minimizes or eliminates the visible frame (bezel) around the screen to maximize active viewing area.

Bezel-less Displays: Edge-to-Edge Screen Design

Bezel-less displays reduce or remove the visible frame around a screen to increase the usable display area and create a more immersive visual experience. Achieved through advances in panel manufacturing, thinner components, and new sensor placements, bezel-less designs are now common in smartphones, TVs, laptops, and monitors. This article explains the underlying technologies, the advantages and disadvantages, and where the trend is heading.

How bezel-less displays work

Bezel reduction relies on thinner display drivers, flexible panels (OLED, AMOLED, microLED), and relocating components (cameras, speakers, sensors) beneath the panel or to tiny notches/punch-holes. Touch sensors are often integrated directly into the display stack. Structural designs (stronger frames, adhesive bonding) compensate for reduced rim support, while manufacturing precision ensures uniform edges and minimal light bleed.

Pros and cons

Pros: Larger perceived screen area in the same device footprint, more immersive viewing, sleeker aesthetics, and better screen-to-body ratios. Cons: Higher manufacturing cost, increased repair difficulty, potential for accidental touches, limited space for front-facing components (camera, sensors), and sometimes reduced durability at the edges.
