    Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) device includes one or more active shutters coupled to a synchronization module. The synchronization module includes a first photodiode configured to detect a synchronization signal for controlling operation of the one or more active shutters. The one or more active shutters are configured to alternate between an open state to pass light and a closed state to block light for reducing a duty cycle of a display screen of a mobile device positioned within the HMD device. The synchronization signal provides a timing to block light from the display screen for a display update duration corresponding to a subset of pixels of the display screen.
