1. A device comprising a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises:
an array of light emitting elements extending in a first plane beneath the display panel, the light emitting elements being arranged to emit light to a front side of the display panel;
an array of pixel driver elements extending in a second plane beneath the array of pixels, wherein the pixel driver elements are configured to drive the light emitting elements, respectively, of the array of light emitting elements;
a hole positioned within the array of light emitting elements and the array of pixel driver elements, wherein the hole extends from the first plane through the second plane,
wherein a first plurality of light emitting elements from the array of light emitting elements in a first region adjacent the hole are arranged to provide a first display resolution, and a second plurality of light emitting elements from the array of elements in a second region away from the hole are arranged to provide a second display resolution, the second display resolution being greater than the first display resolution,
wherein each light emitting element of the first plurality of light emitting elements in the first region is communicatively coupled to a respective pixel driver element that is configured to drive the light emitting element, and wherein the respective pixel driver is located in the second region.
