OPTICAL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18399806 titled 'OPTICAL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS
The patent application describes an optical system that guides light from a display surface to a pupil surface using multiple optical systems and transmissive reflective members.
- The system includes a first optical system, a first transmissive reflective member with a curved surface, a second optical system, a second transmissive reflective member with a curved surface, and a third optical system.
- Lenses closest to the display surface in the first and second optical systems are cemented together via the transmissive reflective members.
- The innovation allows for efficient guiding of light from the display surface to the pupil surface, enhancing the viewing experience.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in virtual reality headsets to improve image quality and reduce eye strain. - It can also be applied in augmented reality devices for clearer and more immersive visual experiences.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the challenge of efficiently directing light from a display to the viewer's eyes. - Helps in reducing optical distortions and improving overall image quality.
Benefits: - Enhanced viewing experience with improved clarity and reduced eye fatigue. - Increased efficiency in light transmission for better image quality.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Optical System for Enhanced Viewing Experience This technology can be utilized in the development of high-end virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, and other display devices for consumer and professional use. The improved image quality and reduced eye strain can attract a wide range of customers, including gamers, professionals in various industries, and entertainment enthusiasts.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this optical system compare to traditional methods of guiding light in display devices? - The system offers improved efficiency and clarity compared to traditional methods, leading to a better viewing experience. 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in commercial products? - The cost may vary depending on the complexity of the system and the quality of materials used, but the benefits in terms of image quality and user experience may justify the investment.
Original Abstract Submitted
An optical system through which light from a display surface is guided to a pupil surface includes, in order from a pupil surface side to a display surface side, a first optical system, a first transmissive reflective member having a first transmissive reflective surface that is a curved surface, a second optical system, a second transmissive reflective member having a second transmissive reflective surface that is a curved surface, and a third optical system. A lens closest to the display surface in the first optical system and a lens disposed closest to the pupil surface in the second optical system are cemented with each other via the first transmissive reflective member. A lens closest to the display surface in the second optical system and a lens disposed closest to the pupil surface in the third optical system are cemented with each other via the second transmissive reflective member.
