    Abstract: An image projection system includes a cascaded waveguide system including a first waveguide and a second waveguide arranged downstream along a transmission path from the first waveguide. The first waveguide includes a first output structure and is configured to receive a light beam having a first beam width and output a first expanded light beam at the first output structure, wherein the first expanded light beam has a second beam width greater than the first beam width. The second waveguide includes a second output structure and is configured to receive the first expanded light beam from the first waveguide and output the first expanded light beam multiple times from the second output structure as a plurality of output light beams. Each of the plurality of output light beams is output from a different area of the second output structure along a propagation direction of the second waveguide.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an optical engine system and a display apparatus. The optical engine system includes: a first modulation device configured to modulate first linearly polarized light in a first optical path to obtain first modulated light; a second modulation device configured to modulate second linearly polarized light in a second optical path to obtain second modulated light, the first linearly polarized light and the second linearly polarized light having a same polarization state; and a light combining prism configured to guide the first modulated light and the second modulated light to transmit along a same optical path and obtain projection light. Optical paths of the first modulated light, the second modulated light, and the projection light are located in a same plane.

    Abstract: A multiplexed light field projector device and a multiplexed light field display to output a light field image is described. The projector has a projector base with a projection optical system configured to output light rays to form a projected image, a collimating optical system configured for collimation of the projected image light rays to form a second projected image, which is directed to a display optical system to produce a light field image. Light field projector devices or alternative projector devices may be used individually or in combination with one or more other projectors which can be arranged to form a multiplexed direct projection light field display. The arrangement of projector devices may have an individual or shared display optical system.

    Abstract: Techniques for separating an image into a forward sweeping image and a backward sweeping image are disclosed. A lookup table maps MEMS projection positions on a display with corresponding pixel positions in an image generated by a camera facing the display. The lookup table is used to associate a first set of pixel positions in the image with a forward scanning sweep of the MEMS system. The lookup table is also used to associate a second set of pixel positions in the image with a backward scanning sweep of the MEMS system. The first and second sets of pixel positions are used to generate the forward sweeping image and the backward sweeping image, respectively. These images can then be used to calibrate the MEMS system to compensate for bi-phase.

    Abstract: A direct retinal projector may include a gaze tracking system that tracks position of a subject's pupil and automatically adjusts projection of a scanned light field so that the light field enters the pupil. A control loop adjusts a scanning mirror to substantially center an IR beam on a position sensing detector (PSD). In so doing, the scanning mirror is correctly positioned so that the scanned light field from the projector enters the subject's pupil. In addition, a direct retinal projector may include an adjustable focusing element that adjusts focus of a combined light beam generated by a projector as the light beam is scanned to an ellipsoid mirror that reflects the light beam to the subject's pupil. The focusing of the scanned beam may be adjusted as the beam is scanned across the azimuth angle of the curved ellipsoid mirror.
