An electronic device such as a head-mounted device may have a user display for displaying an image to a user. The image may be displayed at an eye box after passing through a lens that is interposed between the display and the eye box. A forward-facing component such as a forward-facing camera and/or an externally viewable display may be supported in the housing. The forward-facing component may be overlapped by an optical system. The optical system may have a double-folded light path that virtually shifts the position of the forward-facing component. The optical system may have a reflective polarizer and a partially reflective mirror that are separated by a given distance. The optical system may virtually shift the forward-facing component toward the eye box by twice the given distance.
