Eye mounted displays and systems, with variable resolution
First Claim
1. An eye mounted display comprising:
- a contact lens; and
two or more femto projectors located inside the contact lens, the eye mounted display moving with the user'"'"'s eye as the user'"'"'s eye rotates in its socket, the two or more femto projectors projecting a plurality of pixels onto a retina of an eye of a human user when the contact lens is mounted on the eye, thereby forming a visual sensation of an image that spans a field of view of the user'"'"'s eye, the projected pixels having different sizes at the retina, each of the femto projectors comprising;
a plurality of display pixels displaying a different portion of the image for each femto projector, anddisplay optics projecting light from the display pixels to a portion of the retina corresponding to the portion of the image displayed by that femto projector, wherein the portion of the retina is fixed as the user'"'"'s eye rotates in its socket and thereby forming a visual sensation of the portion of the image displayed by that femto projector, each such projection of light propagating through a partial corneal aperture for that femto projector, different femto projectors projecting light to different portions of the retina, and the femto projectors in aggregate projecting light to portions of the retina that in aggregate span the field of view.

Abstract
A display device is mounted on and/or inside the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. The projected light propagates through the pupil but does not fill the entire pupil. In this way, multiple sub-displays can project their light onto the relevant portion of the retina. Moving from the pupil to the cornea, the projection of the pupil onto the cornea will be referred to as the corneal aperture. The projected light propagates through less than the full corneal aperture. The sub-displays use spatial multiplexing at the corneal surface. Various electronic devices interface to the eye mounted display.
