A transparent display comprises an at least partially transparent display substrate having a display area and a bezel area adjacent to each of at least one corresponding side of the display area. Light-controlling elements are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the display area. Display wires are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the display area and are electrically connected to the light-controlling elements. Bezel wires are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the bezel area, the bezel wires electrically connected to respective ones of the display wires. The transparent display has a bezel transparency that varies over the bezel area. Bezel wires can be spaced apart by a bezel wire spacing that is greater than a width of the bezel wires. A display wire can be a mesh wire or have a depth greater than a width.
