DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18594803 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a patent application for a display device with multiple configurations, including different display units, mirrors, and plates to manipulate image light.
- The first configuration includes a display unit emitting first and second image light, a polarizing half mirror, a reflective mirror, and a λ/4 plate.
- The second configuration includes a display unit emitting third and fourth image light, a half mirror, and a reflective mirror.
- The third configuration includes a display element and a reflector for fifth image light.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in various display devices, such as televisions, monitors, and projectors. - It may also have applications in augmented reality and virtual reality systems.
Problems Solved: - The technology allows for the manipulation and reflection of different image lights, enhancing the quality and versatility of display devices. - It provides a more efficient way to control and display images in various settings.
Benefits: - Improved image quality and versatility in display devices. - Enhanced user experience in viewing content on screens. - Potential for more advanced and customizable display technologies.
Commercial Applications: - The technology could be valuable for electronics manufacturers looking to enhance their display products. - It may also be of interest to companies developing augmented reality and virtual reality systems.
Prior Art: - Researchers and developers in the field of display technology may find relevant prior art in patents related to optical components and image manipulation in display devices.
Frequently Updated Research: - Researchers in the field of display technology may be conducting studies on new materials and technologies to further improve image quality and display capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of a polarizing half mirror impact the manipulation of image light in the display device? 2. What are the potential limitations of using reflective mirrors in display devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A first configuration of a display device includes: a first display unit that emits first image light and second image light; a first polarizing half mirror that transmits one of the first or second image light and reflects the other; a first reflective mirror on an optical path of the first polarizing half mirror; and a first λ/4 plate between the first reflective mirror and the first polarizing half mirror. A second configuration includes: a second display unit that emits third image light and fourth image light; a half mirror; and a third reflective mirror that reflects, toward the half mirror, the third image light reflected by the half mirror. A third configuration includes: a second display element; and a first reflector that reflects fifth image light from the second display element. The first reflector includes reflective surfaces for forming display images based on the fifth image light.
