Bezel (Arcade)

Glass, plexi or cardboard, usually printed with artwork and installed over the monitor. Also called "monitor glass/plexi." Side Note: It has been brought to my attention that technically, the "bezel" is actually the same thing as the monitor surround, but since the term has been misused so often by so many, the definition listed above is correct in de facto. If you want to be unambiguous and/or ultra-proper, call it a "monitor glass."

Bezel (Car Design)

A shaped, usually ornamental, often bright edging around a functional body component, e.g. lights, gauges, emblems, medallions, etc.

Bezel (Clocks)

Metal frame often holding a glass.

Bezel (Import Cars)

A trim ring, usually around a gauge, to secure the class cover.

Bezel (LCD Displays)

A frame of plastic or metal, fitting over the LCD glass, to protect the edges of the glass and act as a pressure device, compressing the elastomer connector between the PCB and LCD glass.

Bezel (Newton)

A covering or panel on an electronic device. Generally used in conjunction with protecting a visual display or connection port.

Bezel (Storage Media)

A plastic panel that extends the face of a drive so that it covers a computer's drive bay opening. The bezel usually contains a drive-activity LED. Also known as the faceplate.

Bezel (Watch)

The surface ring on the watch that surrounds and holds the crystal in place. A rotating ratchet bezel moves in some sport watches as part of the timing device. If rotating bezels are bi-directional, able to move clockwise or counter clockwise, they can assist in calculations for elapsed times.

Bezel (Watches)

The bezel is the topmost ring of the watch, surrounding the dial of the watch. A bezel may be fixed or in the case of a diver's watch, rotating. It can either be plain (usually fixed) or can be marked with, for example a 0-60 minute scale in the case of divers' watches. Older rotating bezels were usually bi-directional, modern diving watches are equipped with a unidirectional bezel.
