A display stack-up for an electronic device has: multiple layers that include a display layer and a second layer; and an outer seal. Each layer has first and second base surfaces and a thickness therebetween defining a height of a lateral surface at a periphery of the layer. The multiple layers are stacked along an axis perpendicular to their base surfaces and parallel to their lateral surfaces, and the outer seal is positioned along the lateral surface of at least some of the multiple layers. The outer seal is composed of a flexible material and is arranged to bind the second layer and at least one other layer of the multiple layers. The outer seal also contains a non-adhesive liquid between the second layer and the at least one other layer to allow relative sliding between at least two layers of the multiple layers.
