Could you elaborate and stop speaking in metaphors -.-

It's probably a MIPI panel. Which, of course, is why you would have oculus making their own MIPI board.
It is not all that hard these days, to make such things, if you know software like eaglecad.
Or rather, making the wiring connections in the software is fairly easy.
Doing it right, is the hard part.
Essentially, if one has a month of bits of spare time to learn how to use eaglecad, they can get to that level. Heck, a lot sooner, for the fast learners. it is just that signal path routing, and pathway widths and types, etc, and the knowing of the why of all those things..that is the critical part.
We're talking peak pixel rates in the 140mhz range, so it's basically an issue of handling digital as RF as a printed circuit, so it takes some thinking and tinkering. There's a whole host of issues and some are even capable of being unknown and unrecognized by people and companies who build successful working boards.
Almost anyone can build a board that 'works'. Or they can echo (copy) another person's design, or they can use the layout sent along with the chip implementation data...which is where 99% of your modern board designs end up being.
Essentially, you have to be a fully blown expert in base electrical function, analog signal routing, test gear development, RF engineering, and more..in order to build a 'best' board. And yes, there is a difference in the two results.
Intelligence... is not inherent - it is a point in understanding. Q: When does a fire become self sustaining?
