DISPLAY APPARATUS PROVIDING EXPANDED EYE BOX - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17736209 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS PROVIDING EXPANDED EYE BOX
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display apparatus that provides an expanded eye box by using holographic optical elements to collimate images emitted from different sub-areas of an image forming apparatus.
- The display apparatus includes an image forming apparatus with multiple sub-areas that form different images.
- It also includes holographic optical elements that correspond to each sub-area and collimate the emitted images into parallel beams with different emission directions.
Potential Applications:
- Virtual reality (VR) headsets: The expanded eye box allows for a wider field of view and improved immersion in VR experiences.
- Heads-up displays (HUDs): The technology can be used to create HUDs with a larger eye box, providing better visibility of information without obstructing the user's view.
- Augmented reality (AR) glasses: By expanding the eye box, AR glasses can provide a more comfortable and natural viewing experience.
Problems Solved:
- Limited eye box: Traditional display apparatuses have a limited eye box, meaning the user must maintain a specific position to see the images clearly. This technology expands the eye box, allowing for more freedom of movement.
- Distortion and blurring: Collimating the images using holographic optical elements helps reduce distortion and blurring, resulting in clearer and more accurate visuals.
Benefits:
- Expanded eye box: Users can move their head more freely without losing visibility of the images, enhancing the overall user experience.
- Improved image quality: The collimation of images helps reduce distortion and blurring, resulting in sharper and more accurate visuals.
- Enhanced immersion: The expanded eye box and improved image quality contribute to a more immersive experience in VR, AR, and other applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
