14 Sep 2011TL;DR: In this paper, an eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens, which includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display.
Abstract: An eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens. The image source facility includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display. The planar illumination facility converts a light beam from the LED received on a side of the planar illumination facility into a top emitting planar light source, uniformly illuminates the reflective display, and is substantially transmissive to allow reflected light to pass through towards a beam splitter. The beam splitter is positioned to receive the image light and to reflect a portion onto a mirrored surface. The mirrored surface is positioned and shaped to reflect the image light into an eye of a user of the eyepiece thereby providing an image within a field of view, the mirrored surface further adapted to be partially transmissive within an area of image reflectance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a head-mounted image display system provides an image to a user's eye separate from ambient light, and the system includes an optical relay (2026) having an optical pathway to receive light from a display element.
Abstract: A head-mountable image display system provides an image to a user's eye separate from ambient light. The system includes an optical relay (2026) having an optical pathway to receive light from a display element. The optical relay also permits passage of ambient light toward the user's eye. An eyepiece assembly (2028) is disposed to redirect light on the optical pathway to the user's eye. The system is highly compact, allowing the integration of the display system with eyeglasses, a face mask, such as a diver's mask, a head set, or the like.

TL;DR: In this paper, an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated camera facility that images an external visual cue is presented, where an integrated processor identifies and interprets the external visual cues as a command to display content associated with the visual cue.
Abstract: This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated camera facility that images an external visual cue. An integrated processor of the eyepiece identifies and interprets the external visual cue as a command to display content associated with the visual cue.

TL;DR: In this article, an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content, wherein the height of the image source is at least 80% of a display active area width of the optical assembly.

TL;DR: In this article, an interactive, head-mounted eyepiece with an electrically adjustable liquid lens that adjusts a focus of the displayed content for the user is described. But the focus is not adjustable.
Abstract: This disclosure concerns an interactive, head-mounted eyepiece with an electrically adjustable liquid lens that adjusts a focus of the displayed content for the user. The electrically adjustable lens may be of the type wherein the lens is moved back and forth with a small worm drive. Alternatively, the electrically adjustable lens may be of the type that uses two liquids, a conducting liquid and a non-conducting liquid. The liquid lens may instead be a tunable liquid crystal cell, in which a non-uniform magnetic field is used to shape the liquid crystal and adjust a focus for the user.
