Abstract
Devices or systems with display designs to include both a main display zone and a peripheral display zone that collectively form a seamless contiguous display area for displaying images, content or information over the two zones as a single display area and further allowing for operating the peripheral display zone independently from the main display zone to display certain images, information, or content only on the peripheral display zone even when the main display zone is turned off. In addition to providing display functions separate from or in combination with the display functions by the main display zone, the peripheral display zone based on the disclosed technology can be used to provide for certain sensing functions by including one or more sensors under the display area for the peripheral display zone.
