1. A see-through type display apparatus comprising:
- a spatial light modulator configured to simultaneously output a first two-dimensional (2D) image onto a first region and a second 2D image onto a second region that is different from the first region, the first 2D image having first depth information and the second 2D image having second depth information that is different from the first depth information;
a depth generation member configured to produce a multi-layered depth image by sequentially arranging the first 2D image and the at least second 2D image based on the first depth information and the second depth information; and
an image convergence member configured to cause the multi-layered depth image and a reality environment to converge onto a single region by changing at least one from among a light path of the multi-layered depth image and a light path of the reality environment,wherein the depth generation member comprises;
a first depth generation member configured to reflect the first 2D image to the image convergence member; and
a second depth generation member configured to reflect the second 2D image to the image convergence member, andwherein the second depth generation member is further configured to transmit the first 2D image reflected by the first depth generation member to the image convergence member.

Abstract
A see-through type display apparatus and a method of operating the see-through type display apparatus are provided. The see-through type display apparatus simultaneously outputs a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images having different depth information onto different regions, produces a multi-layered depth image by sequentially arranging the plurality of 2D images according to the depth information, and causes the multi-layered depth image and a reality environment to converge onto one region.

15. A method of operating a see-through type display apparatus, the method comprising:
-
simultaneously outputting a first two-dimensional (2D) image onto a first region and at least a second 2D image onto a second region that is different from the first region, the first 2D image having first depth information and the second 2D image having second depth information that is different from the first depth information; producing a multi-layered depth image by sequentially arranging the first 2D image and the at least second 2D image based on the first depth information and the second depth information; and converging the multi-layered depth image and a reality environment onto a single region by changing at least one from among a light path of the multi-layered depth image and a light path of the reality environment, wherein the producing of the multi-layered depth image comprises; reflecting the first 2D image; and reflecting the second 2D image while transmitting the first 2D image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
