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, optical modules in the head-mounted device may provide images to eye boxes located rearward of the head-mounted device. A forward-facing display on a front portion of the head-mounted device may be covered with a transparent housing portion forming a display cover layer. An antenna may be mounted in the device. A curved portion of the display cover layer or other dielectric housing layer may overlap the antenna. The antenna and/or other components may be formed by contouring a flexible printed circuit into a shape characterized by a surface with compound curvature. The contoured flexible printed circuit may have polymer layers and a metal trace between the polymer layers. A neutral stress plane may be aligned with the metal trace.
