INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM DISPLAY PANEL HAVING OFFSET SUPPORTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a housing having a perimeter;
a processor disposed in the housing and operable to process information;
memory disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the information; and
a display disposed in the housing and interfaced with the processor, the display operable to present the information as visual images, the display having a display panel portion and a circuit portion interfaced with the display panel portion, the circuit portion including circuits to support presentation of visual images at the display panel portion;
wherein the display panel portion couples offset with the circuit portion to have at least some of the circuit portion extending past a first side of the display panel portion, the circuit portion disposed substantially in alignment with a second side of the display panel portion opposite the first side.

Abstract
An information handling system provides connectors along a housing periphery with a reduced vertical footprint by adjusting a display circuit portion relative to a display panel portion to provide vertical space for the connectors. For example, the circuit portion aligns with the display panel portion along one side of the display to provide space for connectors at that side of the display, and the circuit portion extends past the perimeter of the display panel portion at an opposing side of the display. In one embodiment, the circuit portion extending outside the perimeter of the display panel portion includes circuits for powering a backlight disposed in the circuit portion.
