Some hard learned information:
The bezel is composed of two pieces of plastic. The outer piece is ordinary plastic
colored for styling. The inner piece is a special IR Transparent/transmissive black
plastic. It is the thickness of this black inner plastic piece that forms the gap. Now
the black plastic serves a special function, it guides the IR beams from the IR
emitters to be transmitted across the surface of the screen and to IR detectors on
the opposite side of the screen. It is the interruption of a horizontal and a vertical
beam that allows the touchscreen circuits to determine where you poke your finger.
So, that gap that concerns you serves a very important function.
Luck;
Ken
