摘要: A pupil-replicating lightguide includes a slab of transparent material, a switchable out-coupling grating for out-coupling portions of image light to propagate towards an eyebox, and a switchable tracking grating for redirecting tracking light carrying an eye image towards an eye tracking camera. One of the two gratings may be turned ON while the other is turned OFF, in a time-sequential manner, allowing the combined use of the pupil-replicating lightguide for carrying image light and eye tracking light.

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.

摘要: A first layer of anisotropic material extends along a first plane and includes anisotropic components being parallel to a second plane non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane. The anisotropic components are arranged in cycloidal or helical patterns. The cycloidal or helical patterns define one or more Bragg planes that are non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the first plane and either substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to the second plane.

摘要: A display apparatus includes a lightguide for conveying images to an eyebox. The lightguide includes a substrate, a diffractive optical element (DOE) configured to couple the image light into the substrate. The DOE has a spatially variable pitch configured to provide the DOE with a positive optical power. The lightguide further includes a grating out-coupler supported by the substrate for out-coupling portions of the image light from the substrate toward the eyebox.
