==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.
