Abstract
A method for displaying an image viewable by an eye, the image being projected from a portable head worn display, comprises steps of: emitting a plurality of light beams of wavelengths that differ amongst the light beams; directing the plurality of light beams to a scanning mirror; modulating in intensity each one of the plurality of light beams in accordance with intensity information provided from the image, whereby the intensity is representative of a pixel value within the image; scanning the plurality of light beams in two distinct axes with the scanning mirror to form the image; and redirecting the plurality of light beams to the eye using a holographic optical element acting as a reflector of the light beams, whereby the redirecting is dependent on the wavelength of the light beam, to create for each light beam an exit pupil at the eye that is spatially separated from the exit pupils of the other light beams.

76. A method comprising:
-
emitting a plurality of light beams, a wavelength of at least one of the plurality of light beams to differ from a wavelength of at least one other of the plurality of light beams; modulating an intensity of at least one of the plurality of light beams based at least in part on intensity information corresponding to an image to be projected; scanning the plurality of light beams in two distinct axes to form the image; and redirecting the plurality of light beams to a plurality of exit pupils based at least in part on the wavelengths of each of the light beams to project the image at the plurality of exit pupils. - View Dependent Claims (77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83)
