Abstract
Various aspects of the subject technology relate to display panels for head-mountable devices. A display panel may include a left-eye pixel array and a right-eye pixel array that are each rotated with respect to a horizontal defined by a straight line connecting the centers of the arrays. The rotated pixel arrays each include data lines and scan lines that extend at oblique angles relative to the horizontal. A liquid crystal layer of the display panel may include liquid crystal molecules having a default orientation at an oblique angle relative to both the data lines and the scan lines of both of the rotated pixel arrays. The rotated pixel arrays may each include pixel circuits arranged along the data lines and scan lines, each pixel circuit including a transparent electrode oriented at an oblique angle relative to both the scan lines and the data lines.
