Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device may include a display system for presenting images close to a user's eyes. the display system may include a display unit that directs light and an optical system that redirects the light from the display unit towards a user's eyes. the optical system may include an input coupler and an output coupler formed on a waveguide. the input coupler may redirect light from the display unit so that it propagates in the waveguide towards the output coupler. the output coupler may redirect the light from the input coupler so that it exits the waveguide towards the user's eyes. a light-redirecting element may be used to redirect edge light that would otherwise be outside of the user's field of view towards the user's eyes.
