Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, and a housing at least partially surrounding the display and comprising a first housing member defining a first portion of an exterior surface of the electronic device and a second housing member defining a second portion of the exterior surface of the electronic device and configured to function as an antenna. The electronic device also includes a joining structure positioned between the first housing member and the second housing member including a reinforcement plate and a molded element at least partially encapsulating the reinforcement plate and engaged with the first housing member and the second housing member, thereby retaining the first housing member to the second housing member.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have optical modules that present images to a user's eyes. Each optical module may have a lens barrel with a display and a lens that presents an image from the display to a corresponding eye box. To accommodate users with different interpupillary distances, the optical modules may be slidably coupled to guide members such as guide rods. Actuators may slide the optical modules towards or away from each other along the guide rods. The guide rods may be formed from fiber-composite tubes with end caps that are fastened to a frame in the head-mounted device. The tubes may be partly or completely filled with cores to add strength. Low-friction coatings such as metal coatings may be formed on the fiber-composite tubes and the corresponding inner surfaces of the optical module structures that slidably engage the fiber-composite tubes.
