WIDE ANGLE AND HIGH RESOLUTION TILED HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A tiled head-mounted display device, comprising:
- an optical component including a plurality of prisms with free-form surfaces, each prism being a wedge prism comprising a first optical surface, a second optical surface and a third optical surface; and
a display component including a plurality of micro-displays, wherein the number of the micro-displays and the number of the prisms with free-form surfaces is identical,wherein each prism with free-form surfaces and the corresponding micro-display constitutes a display channel, a coordinate system is defined as;
global coordinate origin O is exit pupil center;
Z-axis is in a direction along the viewing axis of user'"'"'s eye;
Y-axis is perpendicular to Z-axis and extends right above the eye;
X-axis is perpendicular to both Y-axis and Z-axis, constituting a Cartesian coordinate;
wherein the display channels are tiled so that an overall field of view of the tiled device can be substantially a summation of individual field of view of each display channel and the center of exit pupil of each display channel in the tiled device is located at a pupil center of the user'"'"'s eye.

Abstract
A tiled head-mounted display device comprises an optical component including a plurality of prisms with free-form surfaces, and a display component including a plurality of micro-displays (6), wherein the number of the micro-displays (6) and the number of the prisms with free-form surfaces is identical, and each prism with free-form surfaces and the corresponding micro-display (6) constitute a display channel. Each prism is a wedge prism including a first surface (2), a second surface (3) and a third surface (4). The exit pupil planes of each display channel are coincident, thus avoiding pupil aberration and keeping exit pupil diameter and eye clearance same as a single ocular. There is no resolution variance throughout the entire field of view, thus preventing extra trapezoid distortion. The tiled head-mounted display device is compact and lightweight, and provides wide field of view and high resolution. The tiled head-mounted display device can be readily applicable to augmented environments applications by simply adding an auxiliary free-form lens behind the prism with free-form surfaces.
