Abstract

An electronic device may be provided with a display (14) mounted in a housing. The display (14) may have an array of display pixels (86) that provide image light (44) to a user (48). The array of display pixels (86) may form an active display structure (46A) with a rectangular shape. The rectangular active display structure (46A) may be surrounded by an inactive border region (IA). Optical structures such optical fiber bundles, a sheet of glass, or other optical structures (134) may be used to guide display light to enlarge the apparent size (W) of the display and thereby minimize the inactive border region (IA) that surrounds the active area (AA) of the display.
