Patent Images
1. A compact optics module for a head mounted display with reduced stray light comprising:
- a. a reflective image source;
b. a polarized light source illuminating the reflective image source;
c. an angled partial reflector to redirect image light from the reflective image source towards a lens element with at least one diffractive surface;
d. a combiner to redirect the image light along with transmitted light from the environment toward a user'"'"'s eye,e. wherein the lens element and combiner provide the image light over a field of view that is viewable by the user'"'"'s eye; and
f. an absorptive polarizer adjacent to the lens element oriented to absorb incident illumination light and transmit image light.
