OPTICAL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248296 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.
- Lenses closest to the display surface in the second and third optical systems are also cemented together via the transmissive reflective members.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in virtual reality headsets to enhance the viewing experience. - It could also be applied in augmented reality devices for improved image quality.
Problems Solved: - The system helps in efficiently guiding light from the display surface to the pupil surface. - It ensures better optical performance and image clarity.
Benefits: - Improved image quality and clarity for users. - Enhanced viewing experience in various optical devices.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable in the development of advanced virtual reality headsets for gaming and entertainment industries. - It could also find applications in medical devices for precise imaging and diagnostics.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this optical system compare to traditional methods of guiding light in optical devices? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in commercial products?
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.
