Abstract
A head-mountable electronic device includes an optical module frame, a display coupled to the optical module frame and extending in a display plane, and an eye-tracking assembly. The eye-tracking assembly includes a flat electrical cable, for example a flexible printed circuit (FPC), coupled to the optical module frame and disposed about a perimeter of the display, and a light emitting diode (LED) electrically coupled to the flat electrical cable and configured to direct light away from the display. The flat electrical cable defines a major plane oriented generally orthogonal to the display.
