SEE-THROUGH COMPUTER DISPLAY SYSTEMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A head mounted display with an improved form factor providing a wide display field of view and a high transmission see-through view of the surrounding environment with an overlaid high contrast displayed image comprising:
- a. upper optics with a first optical axis including;
i. an emissive image source that provides image light;
ii. one or more lenses;
iii. a stray light trap; and
b. non-polarized lower optics with a second optical axis including;
i. a planar beam splitter angled relative to the first and second optical axes; and
ii. a curved partially reflective mirror;
wherein the head mounted display provides a rectangular image with a reduced vertical field of view and a format that is greater than 22;
9 thereby enabling a reduced thickness for the upper and lower optics for a given diagonal display field of view.
