Mold frame for an information handling system
Systems and methods are disclosed for a mold frame for an information handling system that may include an outer portion configured to couple the mold frame to an exterior portion of a cover bottom of the display; a middle portion including an adhesive portion configured to couple the mold frame to a panel of the display; and an inner portion configured to contact an interior portion of the cover bottom, the inner portion including a color-changing material causing the inner portion to change from a first color to a second color, the first color causing the shadow around the display, the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize.
1. A mold frame configured to minimize a shadow around a display of an information handling system, the mold frame comprising:
an outer portion configured to couple the mold frame to an exterior portion of a cover bottom of the display;
a middle portion including an adhesive portion configured to couple the mold frame to a panel of the display; and
an inner portion configured to contact an interior portion of the cover bottom, the inner portion including a color-changing material causing the inner portion to change from a first color to a second color, the first color causing the shadow around the display, the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize.
2. The mold frame of claim 1 , wherein the color-changing material is comprised of a photochromic pigment.
3. The mold frame of claim 2 , wherein causing the inner portion to change from the first color to the second color comprises:
absorbing, by the photochromic pigment, one or more wavelengths of light emitted by a light source of the display; and
causing, by the photochromic pigment, a photochemical reaction within the mold frame.
4. The mold frame of claim 1 , wherein the mold frame is within a field of view of a user via the panel of the display.
5. The mold frame of claim 1 , wherein the mold frame further comprises:
a reflector coupled to the cover bottom of the display, the reflector including:
a covering portion coupled to the inner portion of the mold frame, the covering portion having the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize; and
a folding portion coupling the reflector to the covering portion.
6. The mold frame of claim 1 , wherein the first color is black.
7. The mold frame of claim 1 , wherein the second color is grey.
8. A method for minimizing a shadow around a display of an information handling system, the method comprising:
in response to the display being in an on state:
emitting, by a light source of the display, one or more wavelengths of light, the light source in an illuminated state;
receiving, by a mold frame of the display, the one or more wavelengths of light emitted by the light source, the mold frame including a color-changing material; and
causing, by the one or more wavelengths of light, the color-changing material to change from a first color to a second color, the first color causing the shadow around the display, the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to the display being in an off state:
causing, by the light source, the color-changing material to change from the second color to the first color, the light source in an unilluminated state.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the color-changing material is comprised of a photochromic pigment.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein causing the color-changing material to change from the first color to the second color comprises:
absorbing, by the photochromic pigment, the one or more wavelengths of light; and
causing, by the photochromic pigment, a photochemical reaction within the mold frame.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first color is black.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second color is grey.
14. An information handling system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a display including:
a light source; and
a mold frame configured to minimize a shadow around the display, the mold frame comprising:
an outer portion configured to couple the mold frame to an exterior portion of a cover bottom of the display;
a middle portion including an adhesive portion configured to couple the mold frame to a panel of the display; and
an inner portion configured to contact an interior portion of the cover bottom, the inner portion including a color-changing material causing the inner portion to change from a first color to a second color, the first color causing the shadow around the display, the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize.
15. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the color-changing material is comprised of a photochromic pigment.
16. The information handling system of claim 15 , wherein causing the inner portion to change from the first color to the second color comprises:
absorbing, by the photochromic pigment, one or more wavelengths of light emitted by the light source of the display; and
causing, by the photochromic pigment, a photochemical reaction within the mold frame.
17. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the mold frame is within a field of view of a user via the panel of the display.
18. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the mold frame further comprises:
a reflector coupled to the cover bottom of the display, the reflector including:
a covering portion coupled to the inner portion of the mold frame, the covering portion having the second color causing the shadow around the display to minimize; and
a folding portion coupling the reflector to the covering portion.
19. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the first color is black.
20. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the second color is grey.
