See-through display glasses for viewing 3D multimedia
First Claim
1. A display apparatus for displaying 3D multimedia, the display apparatus comprising:
- an image polarizer receiving an optical image sequence at a first rate and producing an alternating polarized image sequence at a second rate, the second rate being twice as much as the first rate, wherein each image in the optical image sequence is used to produce simultaneously two orthogonally polarized images in the alternating polarized image sequence;
an optical cube provided to receive the alternating polarized image sequence, wherein the optical cube includes two orthogonally polarized plates sandwiching the optical cube, and decouples the alternating polarized image sequence into two orthogonally polarized image sequences; and
a pair of projection mechanisms respectively for two eyes of a human being, wherein each of the projection mechanisms receives one of the two orthogonally polarized image sequences.

Abstract
Architecture and designs of wearable devices for viewing multimedia in 3D are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, a display device is made in form of a pair of glasses. A separate enclosure is provided to generate content for display on the glasses. The content is optically picked up by an optical cable and transported by one or more optical fibers in the optical cable to the glasses, where an image polarizer receives the content and produces an alternating polarized content sequence. An optical cube is provided to decouple the alternating polarized content sequence into two orthogonally polarized image sequences are respectively projected onto two lenses.

11. A display apparatus for displaying 3D multimedia, the display apparatus comprising:
-
a pair of lenses; a bridge disposed between the lenses; an image polarizer receiving an optical image sequence at a first rate and producing an alternating polarized image sequence at a second rate, the second rate being twice as much as the first rate, wherein each image in the optical image sequence is used to produce simultaneously two orthogonally polarized images in the alternating polarized image sequence; and an optical cube, disposed near or on the bridge, receiving the alternating polarized image sequence, wherein the optical cube sandwiched between two orthogonally polarized plates splits the alternating polarized image sequence into two orthogonally polarized image sequences, each projected into an edge of one of the two lenses. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
