Optic and assembly for reduced reflections

An optic having a proximal surface positioned closer to a viewer when using said optic and an opposite distal surface positioned further from the viewer when using said optic, said optic comprising:

• a beam splitter extending through said optic between said proximal surface and said distal surface, said beam splitter configured to (i) receive projected light rays corresponding to a desired projected image to be presented to a user for viewing and a ghost image that obfuscates said desired projected image, and (ii) selectively transmit at least a portion of said projected light rays through said optic;
• a reflective surface within said optic configured to receive said projected light rays transmitted from said beam splitter and reflect said projected light rays inwardly back to said beam splitter;
• and
• at least one baffle having light absorbing material configured to absorb said projected light rays corresponding to said ghost image, said at least one baffle disposed within said optic between said beam splitter and said reflective surface, positioned to intercept said projected light rays corresponding to said ghost image from reflection by said reflective surface to said beam splitter.
