1. An electronic device comprising:
a silicon substrate;
an array of display pixels formed on the silicon substrate;
an interposer structure that is attached to the silicon substrate;
a display driver integrated circuit that is attached to the interposer structure, wherein the display driver integrated circuit is configured to provide data to the array of display pixels through the interposer structure;
a rigid printed circuit board;
a flexible printed circuit that is attached to the rigid printed circuit board and the interposer structure, wherein the silicon substrate has an edge and wherein the interposer structure bridges a gap between the flexible printed circuit and the edge of the silicon substrate; and
a support structure that supports the silicon substrate, wherein the support structure has a portion that extends past the edge of the silicon substrate towards the flexible printed circuit, and wherein the display driver integrated circuit is interposed between the portion of the support structure and the interposer structure.
