Abstract

A display panel for use with a multi-panel display includes an array of display pixels to emit pixel light. A fiber bundle including an array of fibers is disposed over the array of display pixels. The fiber bundle includes a first end of the array of fibers rigidly fixed adjacent to the array of display pixels and optically aligned with the array of display pixels and a loose fiber portion that permits a second end of the array of fibers opposite the first end to slump-over and move. The fiber bundle receives the pixel light emitted from the array of display pixels into the first end of the array of fibers and emits the pixel light out the second end of the array of fibers.
