Edgetoedge

edgetoedge is a term used across multiple technology domains to describe designs or systems that span from one boundary to the opposite boundary. The expression emphasizes continuity, seamlessness, and coverage across a full extent of a device, system, or process. It is typically a descriptive phrase rather than a fixed technical standard, and its exact meaning can differ by context.

In user interface and hardware design, edgetoedge often refers to displays or panels that extend toward the edges of the device, reducing bezels and maximizing usable screen area. In networking and edge computing, the phrase may describe architectures intended to connect processing or sensing directly at the network’s extremities, enabling data flow from edge devices toward other endpoints with minimal central mediation. In manufacturing and data workflows, edgetoedge can denote end-to-end coverage of a process or data lifecycle, where sensing, computation, and action are distributed across a span from input to output without unnecessary handoffs.

The term is informal and context-dependent, with variations such as edge-to-edge and edgeto-edge used interchangeably in some sources. Because it is not a standardized technical specification, researchers and practitioners typically define its scope within a given project or industry sector. When encountered, edgetoedge should be interpreted from the surrounding context to determine whether it refers to display design, network architecture, or end-to-end process coverage.
