Claim Text:
1. A display, comprising: a display substrate having an active area, an inactive area, and a locally thinned region, wherein the locally thinned region is located in the inactive area; an array of display pixels on the display substrate in the active area; display circuitry including gate driver circuitry on the display substrate in the inactive area, wherein the gate driver circuitry overlaps the locally thinned region of the display substrate, wherein the display pixels lie in a plane, and wherein the locally thinned region of the display substrate curves out of the plane such that the inactive area is at least partially hidden from view by a user; and an encapsulation layer formed over the gate driver circuitry such that a neutral stress plane intersects with and spans laterally across the entire width of the gate driver circuitry over the locally thinned region of the display substrate.
