Abstract

An electronic device (10) is provided with a display (14) mounted in a housing (12). The display (14) has an array of display pixels (86) that provide light (112) to a user. The array of display pixels may form active display structures (46A) with a rectangular shape. The rectangular active display structures (46A) may be surrounded by an inactive border region (461). In one suitable embodiment, adjustable reflector structures (100) may be used to reflect light (L) emitted from peripheral portions of the active display structures (46A) to a portion (116) of the display overlapping the inactive border region (461), thereby providing the display with an effective active area that is larger than the area of the active display structures (46A). In another suitable embodiment, liquid crystal light distribution structures may be used to distribute light emitted from peripheral portions of the active display structures to a portion of the display overlapping the inactive border region, thereby increasing the apparent area of the display.
