edge lighting
Rim-mounted light strips
Edge lighting is a technique where light enters from the side of a thin, transparent material—typically glass or acrylic—and illuminates its surface or edges through internal reflection.
Common in display screens, signage, and decorative panels: The edge lighting made the glass shelf glow.
On smartphones, edge lighting refers to screen borders that illuminate for notifications.
