  • Publication number: 20190113752
    Abstract: A head mounted display (HMD) device includes a left-eye display panel and a right-eye display panel. Each of the left-eye and right-eye display panels includes a proximate edge, a distal edge, an active display area having a proximate border and a distal border. A distance between the proximate border and the proximate edge is less than a distance between the distal border and the distal edge. For each display panel, a first border region defined by the distal edge and the distal border contains circuitry for operating pixels of the active display area, whereas a second border region defined by the proximate edge and the proximate border is devoid of circuitry.
