Abstract: A display system includes a wedge optical element, a photoactive layer, light director, and light modulator. The wedge optical element has a clear substrate. The photoactive layer receives emitted light that generates an image. The light director is disposed between the photoactive layer and the wedge optical element. The light modulator generates emitted light and is optically coupled to the wedge optical element to direct the emitted light to an angled side of the wedge optical element. The angled side of the wedge optical element is configured to reflect the emitted light toward a backside of the photoactive layer to generate an image viewable by a user on a frontside of the photoactive layer. The light director is disposed to receive the emitted light from the angled side of the wedge optical element and direct the emitted light toward propagating substantially normal to the backside of the photoactive layer.

Abstract: An image generating system includes an electromagnetic (“EM”) modulator, a camera module and a logic engine. The EM modulator is positioned to direct EM waves to a photoactive surface to stimulate the photoactive surface to generate an image. The camera module is positioned to monitor the photoactive surface to generate image data. The logic engine is communicatively coupled to the camera module and configured to receive the image data from the camera module and analyze the image data. The logic engine is communicatively coupled to the EM modulator to command the EM modulator where to direct the EM waves in response to the image data.
