Reduced border displays

A zero-bezel LCD display configured to provide a flat display area with all display edges borderless such that displayed information is able to extend over all of the display edges, the LCD display comprising:

• a flexible active matrix LCD display stack comprising a flexible substrate bearing active matrix circuitry comprising an array of TFTs (thin film transistors) for controlling pixels of the display, a liquid crystal layer over the substrate, and a liquid crystal cover layer, wherein the flexible substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal cover layer define a liquid crystal cell, and wherein the flexible active matrix LCD display stack defines an active display area;
• and
• a backlight behind the flexible active matrix LCD display stack to illuminate the active display area;
• and
• wherein the flexible substrate of the flexible active matrix LCD display stack is notched at each corner of the flat display area and is folded around each of the edges of the flat display area such that the active display area extends around each of the edges of the flat display area of the zero-bezel LCD display.

A flexible LCD display to provide a curved display area, the curved display area having display edges, the flexible LCD display comprising:

• a flexible active matrix LCD display stack comprising a flexible substrate bearing active matrix circuitry comprising an array of TFTs (thin film transistors) for controlling pixels of the display, a liquid crystal layer over the substrate, and a liquid crystal cover layer, wherein the flexible substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal cover layer define a liquid crystal cell, wherein the flexible active matrix LCD display stack has an edge seal extending between the substrate and the liquid cover layer, and wherein the flexible active matrix LCD display stack defines an active display area;
• and
• drive circuitry for driving the active matrix circuitry;
• wherein the flexible substrate extends laterally beyond the flexible active matrix LCD display stack to define one or more tabs at each of two adjacent edges of the curved display area;
• wherein the drive circuitry is mounted on each of the one or more tabs;
• and
• wherein each of the one or more tabs is connected to a region of the flexible substrate in the active display area via a necked region in which a lateral width of the tab diminishes.
