Abstract:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a first flat panel display having a peripheral edge and a first viewing plane; a second flat panel display having a peripheral edge and a second viewing plane, where the first and second flat panel displays: (i) are arranged adjacent to one another along the respective peripheral edges thereof, and (ii) form an obtuse angle T between the respective first and second viewing planes, where T is greater than 0 degrees and equal to or less than 180 degrees; and a cover sheet located in proximity to, and covering the first and second viewing planes, and including a light compensation portion that: (i) is located proximate to the peripheral edges of the first and second flat panel displays, and (ii) has a curvature complementary to the obtuse angle between the respective first and second viewing planes, where a radius of curvature R of the curvature of the light compensation portion extends from a point spaced away from the display apparatus and toward the curvature of the cover sheet located adjacent to the respective peripheral edges of the first and second flat panel displays; wherein the light compensation portion operates to bend at least some light produced by respective peripheral areas of the first and second flat panel displays proximate to the respective peripheral edges thereof to reduce visual discontinuities introduced by such peripheral edges into an image displayed on the first and second flat panel displays.
