Multiplexing optical assembly with a high resolution inset

Abstract

A display assembly presented herein includes an inset display, a peripheral display, and a multiplexing optical assembly (MOA). The inset display has a first resolution and emits image light of a first polarization. The peripheral display has a second resolution and emits image light of a second polarization. The MOA receives the image light of the first polarization and the image light of the second polarization. The MOA then transforms the image light of the first polarization into a first portion of image light of a third polarization, and transforms the image light of the second polarization into a second portion of image light of the third polarization. The MOA directs the first portion of image light and the second portion of image light toward an eye-box. The display assembly can be implemented as a component of a head-mounted display of an artificial reality system.
