Abstract
The present disclosure provides a near-eye display system for generating a virtual image of a display, including: a display, a first lens array comprising a plurality of concave microlenses having a first pitch, and a second lens array positioned in front of the first lens array, the second lens array comprising a plurality of convex microlenses having a second pitch, wherein the first lens array is positioned on an optical path between the display and the second lens array, and wherein the first lens array has a focal plane at the display and the second lens array has a focal plane at a virtual image plane of the first lens array.
Claims20
A near-eye display system for generating a virtual image of a display, comprising:
- a display;
- a first lens array comprising a plurality of concave microlenses having a first pitch;
- a second lens array positioned in front of the first lens array, the second lens array comprising a plurality of convex microlenses having a second pitch;
- a null lens;
- and
- a beamsplitter disposed between the null lens and the first and second lens arrays;
- wherein the first lens array is positioned on an optical path between the display and the second lens array, and,
- wherein the first lens array has a focal plane at the display and the second lens array has a focal plane at a virtual image plane of the first lens array.
A wearable apparatus for generating a near-eye virtual image of a display, comprising:
- a first lens array of concave microlenses having a first pitch;
- and
- a second lens array positioned in front of the first lens array, the second lens array consisting of convex microlenses having a second pitch,
- wherein the first lens array is positioned on an optical path between the display and the second lens array, and
- wherein the first lens array has a focal plane at the display and the second lens array has a focal plane at a virtual image plane of the first lens array.
A wearable apparatus for generating a near-eye virtual image of a display, comprising:
- a first lens array comprising a plurality of concave microlenses having a first pitch;
- a second lens array positioned in front of the first lens array, the second lens array comprising a plurality of convex microlenses having a second pitch;
- a transparent beam redirection element;
- and
- a null lens,
- wherein the display is positioned generally perpendicular to the first and second lens arrays,
- wherein the first lens array is positioned on an optical path between the display and the second lens array, and
- wherein the first lens array has a focal plane at the display and the second lens array has a focal plane at a virtual image plane of the first lens array;
- wherein the transparent beam redirection element is positioned on the optical path between the display and the first lens array, and the first and second lens arrays are positioned between transparent beam redirection element and a user's eye.
