Abstract:
Implementations are described of an eyepiece for a head wearable display. The eyepiece includes a curved lightguide for guiding display light via total internal reflection between a peripherally-located input surface and a viewing region and an output coupler disposed across the viewing region to redirect the display light towards an eyeward direction for output from the curved light guide. The output coupler has an optical axis and has a set of reflective surfaces that includes at least two individual reflective surfaces to reflect incident display light toward the eyeward direction in at least two different directions relative to the optical axis of the output coupler. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
