Abstract: A system includes a circuit board, an inductor including windings mounted on the circuit board, and a plurality of magnetic field containment devices. Each magnetic field containment device includes an independent electrical circuit that is not directly electrically connected via a conductor to any other magnetic field containment device. Each magnetic field containment device also includes a material of a certain relative permeability. Each magnetic field containment device at least partially surrounds the inductor and, in operation, at least partially contains a magnetic B-Field generated by electrical current in the windings of the inductor. The plurality of magnetic field containment devices, in operation, enables a certain saturation current in the inductor.

Abstract: A thin-film transistor layer, an organic light-emitting diode layer, and other layers may be used in forming an array of pixels on a substrate in a display. Vias may be formed through one or more layers of the display such as the substrate layer to form vertical signal paths. The vertical signal paths may convey signals between display driver circuitry underneath the display and the pixels. The vias may pass through a polymer layer and may contact pads formed within openings in the substrate. Vias may pass through a glass support layer. Metal traces may be formed in the thin-film transistor layer to create signal paths such as data lines and gate lines. Portions of the metal traces may form vias through a polymer layer such as a substrate layer or a polymer layer that has been formed on top of the substrate layer.
Abstract translation: 可以使用薄膜晶体管层，有机发光二极管层等层来形成显示器中的基板上的像素阵列。 可以通过诸如衬底层的显示器的一个或多个层来形成通孔，以形成垂直信号路径。 垂直信号路径可以在显示器下方的显示驱动器电路和像素之间传送信号。 通孔可以穿过聚合物层并且可以接触形成在基底中的开口内的垫。 通孔可以通过玻璃支撑层。 可以在薄膜晶体管层中形成金属迹线以产生诸如数据线和栅极线的信号路径。 金属迹线的一部分可以通过聚合物层形成通孔，例如基底层或已形成在基底层顶部上的聚合物层。

Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted display device may include an antenna that radiates through a cover. The antenna may have an antenna resonating element layered onto the cover and having a three-dimensional curvature. The antenna resonating element may have an antenna ground. A pressure-activated connector may electrically couple the antenna resonating element to the antenna ground. If desired, the pressure-activated connector may lock the antenna resonating element to the antenna ground. The pressure-activated connector may include a metal finger, a metal spring, a metal ball, a curling metal receptacle, a dimple, a metal screw, a screw receptacle, metal burs, and/or rotational locking structures. The pressure-activated connector may form a robust mechanical connection between the first and second conductors despite the curvature of the antenna resonating element, which minimizes electrical discontinuities that can otherwise deteriorate antenna performance.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can provide adjustable size and shape for storage, transport, and/or charging. A head-mountable device can provide a bistable adjustment mechanism, such as a bistable hinge, that biases a component of the head-mountable device to either of two configurations. Such adjustability can be provided by a light seal module of the head-mountable device and can facilitate collapse of a head securement element, such as arms for engaging the head of the user.

Abstract: To accommodate variations in the interpupillary distances associated with different users, a head-mounted device may have left-eye and right-eye optical modules that move with respect to each other. Each optical module may have a display that creates an image and a corresponding lens that provides the image to an associated eye box for viewing by a user. The optical modules each include a lens barrel to which the display and lens of that optical module are mounted and a head-mounted optical module illumination system. The illumination system may have light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes that extend along some or all of a peripheral edge of the display. The light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a flexible printed circuit with a tail that extends a lens barrel opening. A stiffener for the flexible printed circuit may have openings that receive the light-emitting diodes.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing that is configured to be worn on a head of a user. While the head-mounted device is being worn, displays in the head-mounted device may provide images to eye boxes. The user may view images in the eye boxes. The head-mounted housing may have a forward-facing front portion, may have a rearward-facing rear portion that faces away from the front portion towards the eye boxes, and may have a middle portion between the front and rear portions. The middle portion may have openings that receive left and right optical modules containing left and right displays and corresponding left and right lenses. A camera bracket and optical module guide rails may be centrally attached to the middle housing portion between the left and right openings and may have ends that are suspended in air.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The housing may include a chassis with left and right openings that overlap respective left and right optical modules that present images eye boxes. Each optical module may have a lens and display that presents an image through the lens. The chassis may have an inner frame and outer frame. A middle portion of the chassis may form a stiffened nose bridge structure. Components in the housing such as a display, a fan housing, a heat sink layer, optical module guide rods, and a rear cover may span the width of the housing and may be attached to edge portions of the chassis, thereby forming a box-shaped structure that provides rigidity and helps prevent housing deformation.
