Binocular Display with Digital Light Path Length Modulation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A binocular display system to display an image to a user comprising:
- an illumination assembly to provide light; and
a first eye subsystem including a first modulation stack for a first eye of the user comprising a first set of one or more digital light path length modulators to adjust a light path length;
a second eye subsystem, including one of a second modulation stack for a second eye of the user comprising a second set of one or more digital light path length modulators to adjust the light path length or utilizing the first modulation stack for the second eye of the user;
a first imaging assembly to create a first plurality of image portions at a plurality of focal lengths for the first eye, from the light output by the first modulation stack;
a second imaging assembly to create a second plurality of image portions at a plurality of focal lengths for the second eye, from the light output by one of the second modulation stack or the first modulation stack;
wherein the first and second plurality of image portions together provide a correct parallax of images for a three-dimensional effect.
