AUGMENTED REALITY APPARATUS AND OPTICAL SYSTEM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241384 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY APPARATUS AND OPTICAL SYSTEM THEREFOR
The patent application describes an optical system for an augmented reality apparatus, including an image projection source and a polarizing beam splitter. The beam splitter allows light from the image projection source to be incident at a non-perpendicular angle, partially reflected, and partially transmitted based on polarization.
- The optical system includes a polarizer between the image projection source and the beam splitter, allowing specific polarized light components to pass through or be absorbed based on their polarization direction.
- The polarizing beam splitter is configured to reflect light with a certain polarization direction while transmitting light with another polarization direction, enhancing the efficiency of the optical system.
- By controlling the polarization of light within the system, the quality and clarity of the augmented reality display can be improved, providing a more immersive experience for users.
- The use of polarizing elements in the optical system helps reduce unwanted reflections and glare, enhancing the overall visual performance of the augmented reality apparatus.
- This innovation in optical design can lead to advancements in augmented reality technology, making it more practical and user-friendly for various applications.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality headsets - Virtual reality systems - Heads-up displays in vehicles - Medical imaging devices - Military and defense technologies
Problems Solved: - Minimizing reflections and glare in augmented reality displays - Enhancing image quality and clarity in optical systems - Improving user experience and comfort during extended use
Benefits: - Enhanced visual performance in augmented reality applications - Reduced eye strain and fatigue for users - Improved overall user satisfaction and engagement

Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure relates to an optical system for an augmented reality apparatus, comprising: an image projection source; and a polarizing beam splitter. the polarizing beam splitter is arranged such that light emitted from the image projection source is able to be non-perpendicularly incident on the beam splitting side and be at least partially reflected. the polarizing beam splitter is configured such that a polarized light component passes through the polarizing beam splitter and is transmitted through the transmission side thereof, and a polarized light component is reflected from the beam splitting side. the optical system also comprises a polarizer disposed between the image projection source and the polarizing beam splitter, and the polarizer is configured to allow polarized light, whose polarization is in the second direction, to be transmitted therethrough and polarized light, whose polarization is in the first direction to be absorbed.
