IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094540 titled 'IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The image display apparatus described in the patent application includes a light source, an image generating element, a light guide element, and a light guide unit. The light guide element has a first surface and a second surface, with the image generating element facing the second surface. Light from the light source enters the first surface, passes through the light guide element and the light guide unit, and enters the image generating element to be converted into image light. The image light then travels through the light guide unit and enters the second surface. The distance between the exit surface of the image generating element and the incident surface of the light guide unit through which the image light enters is between 0 mm and 5 mm.

Original Abstract Submitted
an image display apparatus includes a light source, an image generating element, a light guide element, and a light guide unit. the light guide element has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the image generating element is disposed to face the second surface of the light guide element. the light from the light source enters the first surface, transmits through the light guide element and the light guide unit, and enters the image generating element to be converted into the image light, and the image light transmits through the light guide unit and enters the second surface. a distance between an exit surface of the image generating element for emitting the image light and an incident surface of the light guide unit which the image light enters is longer than 0 mm and equal to or shorter than 5 mm.
