SEE-THROUGH TYPE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956069 titled 'SEE-THROUGH TYPE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a see-through type display apparatus that includes an image projector, a waveguide, and two lenses. The lenses are designed to minimize chromatic aberration and create a thin optical system with high image quality.

  • The see-through display apparatus includes an image projector, a waveguide, and two lenses.
  • The image projector outputs image light, which is received by the waveguide.
  • The waveguide transmits the image light to the user's view.
  • The first lens has a negative refractive power, while the second lens has a positive refractive power.
  • Both lenses are made up of one or more meta lenses.
  • The lenses are designed to operate with almost no chromatic aberration.
  • This design ensures that the display apparatus has good image quality.
  • The use of meta lenses allows for a thin optical system to be implemented.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Augmented reality (AR) glasses or headsets
  • Heads-up displays (HUDs) in vehicles or aircraft
  • Virtual reality (VR) headsets with see-through capabilities

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Chromatic aberration is minimized, resulting in improved image quality.
  • The use of meta lenses allows for a thin and compact optical system.
  • The see-through design enables users to view the real world while overlaying digital information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • High-quality images with minimal chromatic aberration
  • Thin and lightweight design for improved comfort and portability
  • See-through capability allows for a seamless integration of digital information with the real world.


Original Abstract Submitted

A see-through type display apparatus includes an image projector configured to output image light, a waveguide configured to receive the image light output from the image projector and transmit the image light to a user's view, and a first lens having a negative refractive power and a second lens having a positive refractive power, which are arranged on both surfaces of the waveguide. Each of the first lens and the second lens includes one or more meta lenses and is configured to operate as a lens with almost no chromatic aberration, thereby implementing a thin optical system having good image quality.
