    Abstract: A hybrid display may include different display portions with different resolutions. The high resolution display portion may be positioned in a main viewing area for the viewer whereas the low resolution display portion may be positioned in a peripheral viewing area. The high resolution display portion may have a silicon backplane. The low resolution display portion may have a different type of backplane such as a thin-film transistor backplane. The different display portions may optionally share a common organic light-emitting diode layer such that light is emitted from the same plane across both display portions. The high resolution display portion may emit light through a transparent window in the low resolution display portion. A high resolution display may also be formed by separately forming a frontplane and a backplane. Conductive attachment structures such as indium bumps may be used to mechanically and electrically connect the backplane to the frontplane.

    Abstract: A head-mounted display may include a display system and an optical system that are supported by a housing. The optical system may be a catadioptric optical system having one or more lens elements. In one example, the optical system includes a single lens element and a retarder that is coated on a curved surface of the lens element. The retarder may be coated on an aspheric concave surface of the lens element. In another example the retarder may be coated on an aspheric convex surface of the lens element. One or more components of the optical system may be formed using a direct printing technique. This may allow for one or more adhesive layers and one or more hard coatings to be omitted from the optical system. A lens element may be directly printed on the display system to improve alignment between the optical system and the display system.

    Abstract: A display may include a display panel that emits light. The light from the display panel may be focused by a lens assembly towards a viewer. A light redirecting layer may be included in the display between the display panel and the lens assembly to ensure that the lens assembly receives incident light at an optimal angle. The light redirecting layer may redirect light by different amounts at different portions of the light redirecting layer. The magnitude of the redirection angle may increase with increasing separation from the center of the light redirecting layer. The light redirecting layer may redirect light away from the center of the light redirecting layer. The light redirecting layer may be a geometric phase lens formed using a liquid crystal film. The display may also include a circular polarizer, an additional circular polarizer, and an additional quarter waveplate.
