VIRTUAL IMAGE OPTICAL SYSTEM, AND VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND ON-VEHICLE SYSTEM INCLUDING VIRTUAL IMAGE OPTICAL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240118544 titled 'VIRTUAL IMAGE OPTICAL SYSTEM, AND VIRTUAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND ON-VEHICLE SYSTEM INCLUDING VIRTUAL IMAGE OPTICAL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a virtual image optical system with two optical elements guiding light from a display unit to form two virtual images by switching the positions of two pupils through decentering of the second optical element.
- The system includes first and second optical elements guiding light from a display unit.
- The second optical element guides light to a first pupil to form a first virtual image.
- Simultaneously, the second optical element guides light to a second pupil to form a second virtual image.
- Decentering of the second optical element enables switching of positions of the first and second pupils.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Virtual reality headsets
- Augmented reality devices
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of:
- Providing multiple virtual images with a single optical system
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced user experience with multiple virtual images
- Simplified optical system design
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Consumer electronics
- Entertainment industry
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optical systems with multiple virtual images, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the decentering of the second optical element affect the quality of the virtual images formed?
The abstract does not mention the impact of decentering on the quality of the virtual images produced.
Are there any limitations to the switching of positions of the first and second pupils?
The abstract does not address any potential limitations or constraints related to the switching of pupil positions.
Original Abstract Submitted
a virtual image optical system includes first and second optical elements and each configured to guide light from a display unit, wherein the second optical element guides the light from the display unit to a first pupil to form a first virtual image, and the second optical element simultaneously guides the light from the display unit to a second pupil to form a second virtual image, and wherein decentering of the second optical element enables switching of positions of the first pupil and the second pupil to each other.
