Unanswered Questions

How does the dielectric member improve the display quality?

The dielectric member may play a role in enhancing the visibility and clarity of the publicly viewable display, but the specific details of this improvement are not provided in the abstract.

What materials are used in the transparent housing portion?

The abstract does not mention the materials used in the transparent housing portion that covers the publicly viewable display.


Original Abstract Submitted

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, left and right displays in optical modules in the head-mounted device may provide images to eye boxes located rearward of the head-mounted device. a forward-facing publicly viewable display on a front portion of the head-mounted device may be covered with a transparent housing portion forming a display cover layer. a dielectric member having a ring-shaped edge portion surrounding the publicly viewable display may be mounted under a corresponding edge portion of the display cover layer. a flexible printed circuit antenna with compound curvature may be laminated to the edge portion of the dielectric member.
