Membrane Assembly for Optics in a Virtual Reality (VR) Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210652 titled 'Membrane Assembly for Optics in a Virtual Reality (VR) Display Device
The patent application is for a membrane assembly that seals the interior of a head-mounted display device, such as a virtual reality (VR) headset, from foreign objects and materials. The assembly includes a flexible membrane with bezels attached, designed to be connected to the frame and optics modules of the device. The flexible membrane extends around lenses in the optics modules, which can move within the frame to adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD) of the lenses. The inner surface of the membrane has surface deviations that deform when the optics modules move, allowing the membrane to deform without hindering the movement of the optics modules while maintaining a seal.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Membrane Assembly for Head-Mounted Display Devices" This technology can be utilized in the development of next-generation VR and AR headsets, catering to a wide range of industries such as entertainment, healthcare, and defense. The improved seal and flexibility of the membrane assembly offer a competitive advantage in the market.
Questions about Membrane Assembly for Head-Mounted Display Devices: 1. How does the flexible membrane assembly improve the user experience of head-mounted display devices? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the future of virtual and augmented reality devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a membrane assembly including a flexible membrane that seals an interior of a head-mounted display device from foreign objects and foreign materials. the head-mounted display device can be a virtual reality (vr) head-mounted display device. the membrane assembly can include a flexible membrane and bezels attached to the flexible membrane, and configured to be attached to a frame and optics modules of the head-mounted display device. the flexible membrane is configured to extend around lenses respectively mounted in the optics modules. the optics modules can be configured to move in the frame to change and interpupillary distance (ipd) of the lenses. an inner surface of the flexible membrane includes surface deviations configured to deform when the optics modules move, thereby allowing the flexible membrane to deform, without impeding movement of the optics modules, while sealing the interior of the head-mounted display device.
