Abstract
The disclosure relates to a viewing optic. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having an integrated display system. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a viewing optic having an integrated display system for generating images that are projected into the first focal plane of an optical system.
Claims29
A viewing optic comprising:
- (i) a main body with an optical system configured to generate an image of an outward scene along a viewing optical axis and a beam combiner and (ii) a base coupled to a bottom portion of the main body and having an active display configured to generate an image and a reflective material configured to direct the generated image to the beam combiner for simultaneous overlaid viewing of the generated image and image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system, the base further having a compartment for one or more power sources for powering one or more components of the viewing optic.
A viewing optic comprising:
- a main body having (i) an optical system having an objective lens system configured to focus a target image from an outward scene to a first focal plane, an erector system configured to invert the target image, and (ii) a beam combiner between the objective lens system and the first focal plane;
- and
- a base coupled to a bottom portion of the main body and having:
- (i) an active display configured to generate an image and a lens system configured to collect light from the active display, (ii) a reflective material configured to direct the generated image to the beam combiner wherein the generated image and the target image are combined into the first focal plane, and (iii) one or more power sources for powering one or more components of the viewing optic.

A viewing optic comprising:
- a main body with an optical system configured to view an outward scene and a separable base coupled to a bottom portion of the main body, the base having (i) an active display configured to generate an image, wherein the generated image is combined into an image of the outward scene in a first focal plane of the optical system and (ii) a compartment for one or more power sources for powering one or more components of the viewing optic.
