Electronic Devices with Lenses - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18324078 titled 'Electronic Devices with Lenses
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a head-mounted device with optical modules that display images to the user's left and right eyes. - The optical modules have lens support structures that hold a display and a fixed lens. - Vision correction lenses can be attached to the fixed lenses to customize the device for individual users. - Users can view images on the displays through the removable and fixed lenses from eye boxes. - The optical modules also include infrared light sources and sensors for gaze tracking and authentication. - The lenses have coatings to enhance optical performance and structures on the edge surfaces to reduce stray light reflections. - The lenses are designed to allow both visible and infrared light to pass through.
Original Abstract Submitted
A head-mounted device may have optical modules that present images to a user's left and right eyes. Each optical module may have a lens support structure that supports a display and a fixed lens. Vision correction lenses may be removably coupled to the fixed lenses to help customize the head-mounted device to the vision of a particular user. A user may view images on the displays through the removable and fixed lenses from eye boxes. The optical modules may include infrared light sources that supply infrared light to the eye boxes and infrared light sensors such as infrared cameras for gaze tracking and authentication. The lenses may have optical surfaces covered with coating that enhance optical performance and may have edge surfaces that are provided with structures to help reduce stray light reflections. The lenses may be configured to pass visible and infrared light.
