Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a buried numerical aperture expander (100) may be utilized to provide a head-up or virtual display at a larger field of view without requiring a larger amount of space, larger sized display, or larger sized optics. The buried numerical aperture expander is capable of selectively reflecting light emanating from a display such that the reflected light is expanded into a larger field of view, while simultaneously allowing other light to be transmitted through the buried numerical aperture expander without expansion so that the buried numerical aperture expander may be deployed in conjunction with a windshield or window without adversely affecting the ability to see through buried numerical aperture expander.

Abstract: A heads-up display that includes a scanner (46) and a projection assembly (54). The scanner generates an image by sweeping a beam of electromagnetic energy, and the projection assembly directs the image into a predetermined viewing space having a region with a substantially uniform intensity profile. The device further comprises an exit pupil expander (52). Such a heads-up display can often be made smaller than a conventional heads-up display, and can often generate an image having a higher quality than an image generate by a conventional display. Furthermore, one can often calibrate and recalibrate such a display withou physically modifying or replacing a component of the dsplay or of a vehicle incorporating the display.

Abstract: Substrate-guided relays (100) that employ light guiding substrates to relay images from sources to viewers in optical display systems. The substrate-guided relays are comprised of an input coupler (110), an intermediate substrate (120), and an output coupler (130). In some embodiments, the output coupler is formed in a separate substrate that is coupled to the intermediate substrate. The output coupler may be placed in front of or behind the intermediate substrate, and may employ two or more partially reflective surfaces to couple light from the coupler. In some embodiments, the input coupler is coupled to the intermediate substrate in a manner that the optical axis of the input coupler intersects the optical axis of the intermediate substrate at a non-perpendicular angle.
