Abstract

A head-mounted device may have a display system that provides display images. The display images may be supplied to eye boxes for viewing by a user with waveguides that have output couplers. The waveguides may be supported by head-mounted support structures between front and rear lenses on the left of the device and between front and rear lenses on the right of the device. The front and rear lenses may be mounted to the head-mounted support structures using front-mounted and/or rear-mounted arrangements. Front-mounted lenses are installed into the head-mounted support structure from the front and may be supported on alignment shelves in the head-mounted support structure that have front-facing surfaces. Rear-mounted lenses are installed into the head-mounted support structure from the rear and may have alignment shelves in the head-mounted support structure that have rear-facing surfaces.
