Abstract: Electronic devices such as head-mounted electronic devices may include displays for presenting images to users. To accommodate variations in the interpupillary distances associated with different users, a head-mounted device may have left-eye and right-eye optical modules that move with respect to each other. To hide internal structures from view, the rear of a head-mounted device may be provided with a stretchable fabric cover with openings for receiving optical modules. The fabric cover may have first strands forming a warp knit layer with diamond-shaped openings and second strands that zig-zag back and forth within the diamond-shaped openings. The first strands may stretch in the warp direction, while the second strands may stretch in the weft direction. The second strands may have a fuzzy covering for hiding electrical components even as the diamond-shaped openings expand when the fabric is stretched.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a housing with a display that displays images that are viewable from an eye box. A light seal may be coupled the housing and may block outside light from reaching the eye box. The light seal may include a seamless tube of knit fabric that forms an outermost layer of the light seal. A light-blocking fabric may line the inner surface of the seamless tube of knit fabric. The light-blocking fabric may include a dark-colored weft knit layer facing the eye box, a light-colored weft knit layer facing and matching a color of the seamless tube of knit fabric, and a middle layer joining the light-colored weft knit layer and the dark-colored weft knit layer. The dark-colored weft knit layer may ensure sufficient opacity without being visible through the seamless tube of knit fabric.
