Abstract

Embodiments of a tiled multi-panel display including first and second display panels, each including a substrate with a main portion having a main thickness, an abutting edge with an thickness less than the main thickness, and a taper surface extending between the main portion and the abutting edge, and an array of display pixels disposed in the main portion and extending at least partially around the curved surface. The abutting edge of the first display panel abuts the abutting edge of the second display panel to form a seam, and a seam-concealing optical element is disposed in a void formed by the first and second taper surfaces. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
