    摘要: A near-eye display includes a first polarizer in a path of external light to an eyebox of the display for polarizing the external light to a first polarization state. A see-through lightguide is disposed in the path between the first polarizer and the eyebox for conveying image light to the eyebox in a second, orthogonal polarization state while transmitting the external light in the first polarization state. A second polarizer is disposed in the path downstream of the see-through lightguide for adjusting a power balance of the external light and the image light at the eyebox.

    摘要: A lightguide assembly includes a stack of optically separated lightguide plates for conveying image light to an eyebox. At least one lightguide plate of the stack includes an in-coupler configured for switchably in-coupling the image light into the lightguide plate. The switchable in-coupler(s) may be used to time-sequence through different lightguides of the stack, each lightguide carrying a portion of the image such as a field of view portion or a color channel of the image. The time-sequencing through the lightguides allows one to compensate for image offsets due to the lightguide being non-parallel to one another, by providing corresponding offsets in the image portions being carried by different lightguides.
