PROJECTION DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A projection display for projecting a colour image to a viewer overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the display, the display comprising:
- an image generator for generating image bearing chromatic light for injection into a waveguide assembly at a first range of field angles and a second range of field angles;
the waveguide assembly comprising;
a first waveguide having a first input diffraction region arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the first range of field angles into the first waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection;
a second waveguide having a second input diffraction region arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the second range of field angles into the second waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection;
the first and second waveguides having first and second output diffraction regions arranged to output image bearing chromatic light from the respective waveguides for projecting a colour image in the first and second range of field angles to a viewer overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the waveguide assembly.

Abstract
The present invention provides a projection display (10) for projecting a colour image to a viewer (12) overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the display. The display comprises an image generator (16) for generating image bearing chromatic light for injection into a waveguide assembly (28) at a first range of field angles (44) and a second range of field angles (46). The waveguide assembly comprises a first waveguide (30) having a first input diffraction region (32) arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the first range of field angles into the first waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection; and a second waveguide (40) having a second input diffraction region (42) arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the second range of field angles into the second waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection. The first and second waveguides have first and second output diffraction regions (48, 50) arranged to output image bearing chromatic light from the respective waveguides for projecting a colour image in the first and second range of field angles to a viewer overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the waveguide assembly.
