Patent Images
1. A display device for an ergonomic helmet-mounted sight with a large field of observation, comprising:
- a collimation and combination optical unit joined to an image generator located on the same side as an observation point relative to the optical unit, said collimation and combination optical unit comprising a transparent plate having parallel front and rear faces, and a beveled surface exhibiting, relative to said rear face, an inclination such that radiation emerging from the image generator undergoes total reflection on said rear face, wherein said plate comprises;
a first element having a first face forming a portion of said front face of said plate and a planar second face supporting a semitransparent planar mirror;
a second element disposed adjacent to said planar second face of said first element and having a face of spherical configuration which supports a holographic or dichroic mirror;
a third element having a concave first face disposed adjacent to said spherical face of said second element and having a planar second face forming a portion of said rear face of said plate; and
a fourth element formed between remaining portions of said parallel front and rear faces of said plate and said beveled surface.
