Computing device with integrated bezel light

Abstract

An illuminated display screen bezel may provide improved user illumination when using a portable electronic device. The illuminated display screen bezel may include a series of LEDs built into the bezel, may include a light guide plate, or may include an extended display area at least partially covered by a controllable opaque layer. These lighting mechanisms may be dynamically controlled and adjusted with one or more smart control algorithms to suit different users. The improved image quality may be used to provide improved performance of image processing features, such as improving the ability of a videoconferencing program to create a virtual background or improving the ability of an AI system to perform image analysis. These lighting configurations may also be used for providing notification lights, automatic dimming based on detected ambient light, program-enhancing RGB lighting effects, mood lighting, and other lighting effects.
