Eye Mounted Displays
First Claim
1. An eye mounted display for projecting light onto a user'"'"'s retina to form a visual sensation of an image, the eye mounted display comprising a plurality of sub-displays attached to the user'"'"'s eye, each sub-display projecting light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display, each such projection of light propagating through a partial corneal aperture for that retinal position.

Abstract
A display device is mounted on and/or inside the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. The projected light propagates through the pupil but does not fill the entire pupil. In this way, multiple sub-displays can project their light onto the relevant portion of the retina. Moving from the pupil to the cornea, the projection of the pupil onto the cornea will be referred to as the corneal aperture. The projected light propagates through less than the full corneal aperture. The sub-displays use spatial multiplexing at the corneal surface.

4. An eye mounted display system for use by a user, comprising:
-
an eye mounted display that projects light onto the user'"'"'s retina to form a visual sensation of an image, the eye mounted display comprising a plurality of sub-displays attached to the user'"'"'s eye, each sub-display projecting light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display, each such projection of light propagating through a partial corneal aperture for that retinal position; an eye tracker that tracks an orientation of the eye; a scaler coupled to the eye mounted display and to the eye tracker, the scaler receiving video input and converting the video input, based in part on the orientation of the eye received from the eye tracker, to a format suitable for projection by the eye mounted display. - View Dependent Claims (5)
