System for projecting a virtual image within an observer's field of view
First Claim
1. A system for projecting a virtual image within an observer'"'"'s field of view, comprising:
- a support element, at least one transparent element mounted on the support element and suitable for being placed in front of at least one of the observer'"'"'s eyes in order to transmit an image thereto, the transparent element comprising a first face facing towards the observer and a second face facing towards the outside world, image display means suitable for forming an additional image, and projection and focusing means for projecting the additional image in a manner such as to present it superimposed on the image of the outside world, focused at a predetermined distance from the observer, wherein;
the display means comprise a plurality of light-emitting pixel devices disposed on one of the first and second faces of the transparent element, and the projection and focusing means comprise a plurality of optical elements associated with respective emitting devices and arranged on the other of the first and second faces of the transparent element in a manner such that each of the optical elements can create a virtual image of the emitting device associated therewith, the virtual images of the individual emitting devices together forming the additional image within the observer'"'"'s field of view.

Abstract
A system for projecting a virtual image within an observer'"'"'s field of view comprises a support element, a transparent element mounted on the support element and suitable for being placed in front of the observer'"'"'s eyes, the transparent element comprising a first face and a second face, an image display device suitable for forming an additional image, and a projection and focusing device for projecting the additional image in a manner such as to present it superimposed on the image of the outside world. The display device comprise light-emitting devices disposed on one of the faces of the transparent element, and the projection and focusing device comprise optical elements associated with respective emitting devices and arranged on the other face. Each of the optical elements creates a virtual image of the emitting device associated therewith. The virtual images of the emitting devices together form the additional image.
