1. A wearable head device comprising:
- a curved display panel located on an optical axis, the curved display panel having a curved emission surface, the curved emission surface including a first emission surface point where the optical axis intersects the curved emission surface, the curved emission surface having a first radius of curvature at the first emission surface point;
a lens located on the optical axis, the lens having a curved lens surface, the curved lens surface including a first lens surface point on the optical axis, the curved lens surface having a second radius of curvature at the first lens surface point, the second radius of curvature matching the first radius of curvature; and
a see-through display, wherein the curved display panel is configured to project image light through the curved lens surface towards the see-through display to present the image light overlaid on a see-through view of the surrounding environment.
