SEE-THROUGH DISPLAY DEVICE AND AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17702453 titled 'SEE-THROUGH DISPLAY DEVICE AND AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a see-through display device that includes an image generator, a combiner, and a free-form optical element.
- The image generator emits image light.
- The combiner is positioned off-axis with respect to the image light and introduces an off-axis aberration.
- The free-form optical element is placed on the optical path between the image generator and the combiner and generates a correction aberration that counteracts the off-axis aberration.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Augmented reality (AR) devices: The see-through display device could be used in AR glasses or headsets to overlay digital information onto the real world.
- Heads-up displays (HUDs): The technology could be applied in HUDs for vehicles or aircraft, providing important information to the user without obstructing their view.
- Medical imaging: The see-through display device could be used in medical imaging systems, allowing doctors to view patient data or images while still being able to see the patient.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Off-axis aberration: The combiner introduces an off-axis aberration, which can distort the image. The free-form optical element corrects this aberration, ensuring a clear and accurate image.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: By correcting the off-axis aberration, the see-through display device provides a high-quality and distortion-free image.
- Enhanced user experience: The technology allows users to view digital information or images overlaid onto the real world, providing a seamless and immersive experience.
- Versatility: The see-through display device can be used in various applications, including AR, HUDs, and medical imaging, making it a versatile solution for different industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
A see-through display device includes an image generator configured to emit image light, a combiner which is arranged off-axis with respect to the image light and is configured to generate an off-axis aberration with respect to the image light, and a free-form optical element which is disposed on an optical path of the image light between the image generator and the combiner and is configured to generate a correction aberration with respect to the image light, the correction aberration being opposite to the off-axis aberration.
