1. An information handling system comprising:
a housing having at least one housing portion, the at least one housing portion having a rectangular shape with a housing portion perimeter of four sides;
a processor disposed in the housing and operable to process information;
a memory disposed in the housing and operable to store the information; and
a display module having a display panel coupled over backlight by a backplate, the backplate coupled to the at least one housing portion, the display panel having an upper surface that extends to the housing portion perimeter at three or more of the sides and an active area that generates visual images within a visual image perimeter of less than the housing portion perimeter, the backlight disposed under the display panel and aligned with the visual image perimeter, the backplate having a cavity region sized to accept the backlight and an extension region extending from the visual image perimeter to the housing portion perimeter proximate a bottom surface of the display panel;
wherein the display panel has a polarizer layer at an outer surface disposed over a thin film transistor layer that generates the visual images and a color filter layer coupled to a bottom side of the thin film transistor layer, the visual images communicated to the thin film transistor layer through a source driver coupled to the bottom side of the thin film transistor layer outside of the visual image perimeter.
