Abstract
A display device operable to generate images and a border image is disclosed. The display device in one example of the invention comprises an electrode structure coupled to a spatial light modulator display layer. The electrode structure is configured to define an active display area. The display also comprises a first electrode surrounding the electrode structure and a second electrode coupled to the spatial light modulator display layer. The second electrode is located above the first electrode and a voltage difference between the second electrode and the first electrode is used to generate the border image.
