Claim:
A display system comprising: a display presentation device comprising a plurality of individual light producing pixels capable of being selectively activated to display information, the presentation device having a substantially planar top surface having a perimeter, a display inactive area inside the perimeter, a first lighting source area inside the display inactive area comprising a first plurality of light-producing pixels and configured to provide illumination for a bezel and, a display visible area inside the first lighting source area, the display visible area comprising a second plurality of light-producing pixels; the bezel having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a substantially clear, light path portion extending between the top surface and bottom surface, the bottom surface of the bezel covering at least part of the first lighting source area and leaving the display visible area uncovered, the substantially planar top surface of the bezel being located above and substantially parallel to the substantially planar top surface of the display presentation device, a first portion of the bezel top surface being outside the perimeter; a graphical indicator disposed on the top surface of the bezel, the graphical indicator being located on the bezel top surface such that at least part of the graphical indicator is located outside the perimeter; wherein the display presentation device is configured and arranged to selectively emit light from one or more selected portions of the first lighting source area such that light emitted from the one or more selected portions and traveling in a first direction, enters the bottom surface of the bezel, travels in a different second direction through the light path portion and exits the bezel top surface traveling in said first direction, such that light from the first lighting source area passes through the bezel, to illuminate the graphical indicator outside the perimeter.
