1. A display for portable information handling systems, comprising:
- a cover glass including a display surface and a first external edge that is perpendicular to the display surface;
a touch sensor layer bonded to the first external edge of the cover glass, the touch sensor layer including a plurality of touch pixels that are individually sensitive to touch input;
a structural element including the touch sensor layer at the first external edge that holds together display components of the display, the display components including a light guide and a mirror; and
a touch panel layer disposed under the display surface and adjacent to at least a portion of the touch sensor layer,wherein the touch sensor layer and the touch panel layer have a common touch pixel coordinate axis that is aligned with display pixel coordinates of the display.

Abstract
A touch user interface may be implemented at a display edge, such as a display included with a portable information handling system. An edge touch element may provide structural support for the display along with touch functionality. The edge touch element may be integrated with a touch panel included with the display. The edge touch element may wrap around to a back face of the display.
