A folded optical element waveguide that allows a minimum width bezel to be used around the perimeter of a light-based touch screen display. The apparatus and method includes a touch screen and a waveguide substrate provided adjacent the touch screen. The waveguide substrate includes a plurality of waveguides and a plurality of optical elements provided adjacent the touch screen. The waveguides include an internally reflective surface to reflect light perpendicular to the surface of the touch screen. The emitting and detecting waveguides are thus folded and provided around the side edges of the display. As a result, the width of the bezel around the display can be minimized. |
