Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) including multiple layered display panels. The HMD may include a first display panel to display a first image, and a second display panel positioned in front of the first display panel to at least partially overlap with the first display panel. The second display panel may include a display substrate, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned on the display substrate. The plurality of LEDs display a second image. The display substrate and the plurality of LEDs are transparent for the first image to be visible through the second display panel.
Claims18
A head-mounted display (HMD), comprising:
- a first display panel configured to display a first image;
- a second display panel positioned in front of the first display panel to at least partially overlap with the first display panel, the second display panel including:
- a display substrate;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned on the display substrate, the plurality of LEDs configured to display a second image, the display substrate and the plurality of LEDs being transparent for the first image to be visible through the second display panel;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a vergence depth of a user's eyes by tracking positions of the user's eyes;
- associate vergence depths with focal capabilities of the first and second display panels;
- and
- selectively provide data for displaying an object to the first display panel or the second display panel based on the vergence depth and the focal capabilities of the first and second display panels, the data being provided to the first display panel and not the second display panel responsive to a first determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the first display panel and not presented on the second display panel, and the data being provided to the second display panel and not to the first display panel responsive to a second determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the second display panel and not presented on the first display panel, the second determined vergence depth being shorter than the first determined vergence depth.

An electronic display, comprising:
- a first display panel configured to emit a first light;
- a second display panel positioned in front of the first display panel to at least partially overlap with the first display panel, the second display panel including:
- a display substrate;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned on the display substrate, the plurality of LEDs configured to emit a second light, the display substrate and the plurality of LEDs being transparent for the first light to pass the first light through the second display panel;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a vergence depth of a user's eyes by tracking positions of the user's eyes;
- associate vergence depths with focal capabilities of the first and second display panels;
- and
- selectively provide data for displaying an object to the first display panel or the second display panel based on the vergence depth and the focal capabilities of the first and second display panels, the data being provided to the first display panel and not the second display panel responsive to a first determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the first display panel and not presented on the second display panel, and the data being provided to the second display panel and not to the first display panel responsive to a second determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the second display panel and not presented on the first display panel, the second determined vergence depth being shorter than the first determined vergence depth.

A method, comprising:
- displaying a first image by a first display panel;
- displaying a second image by a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned on a display substrate of a second display panel, the second display panel positioned in front of the first display panel to at least partially overlap with the first display panel, the display substrate and the plurality of LEDs being transparent for the first image to be visible through the second display panel;
- determining a vergence depth of a user's eyes by tracking positions of the user's eyes;
- associating vergence depths with focal capabilities of the first and second display panels;
- and
- selectively providing data for displaying an object to the first display panel or the second display panel based on the vergence depth and the focal capabilities of the first and second display panels, the data being provided to the first display panel and not the second display panel responsive to a first determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the first display panel and not resented on the second display panel, and the data being provided to the second display panel and not to the first display panel responsive to a second determined vergence depth of the user's eyes such that the object is presented on the second display panel and not presented on the first display panel, the second determined vergence depth being shorter than the first determined vergence depth.
