Wearable Electronic Display

A wearable display apparatus comprising:

• a head band having a curved top and right and left sides for wearing on a user's head;
• a display for providing viewable images;
• and
• a display support assembly that supports the display for adjusting position of the display for viewing by the user, the display support assembly comprising,
• right and left side arm members spaced apart from each other, and a unitary laterally flexible resilient support member to which the display is mounted between the arm members, the support member having a cross member between right and left side portions which are capable of laterally bending towards and away from each other to adjust to head size, the display being mounted to the cross member by a pivot joint for pivotal adjustment of the display relative to the cross member, the side portions of the support member having a preloaded resilient spring force outwardly away from each other that is constrained between the arm members, the arm members of the display support assembly being rotatably mounted to opposing inner sides of the head band that face each other by a joint arrangement for pivotably raising and lowering the display support assembly, and having an angle of rotation that moves to compensate for varying distances between the arm members.

A method of using a wearable display apparatus comprising:

• providing the wearable display apparatus with a head band having a curved top and right and left sides for wearing on a user's head, a display for providing viewable images, and a display support assembly that supports the display, the display support assembly for adjusting position of the display for viewing by the user, the display support assembly comprising,
• right side and left side arm members spaced apart from each other, and a unitary laterally flexible resilient support member to which the display is mounted between the arm members, the support member having a cross member between right and left side portions, the display being mounted to the cross member by a pivot joint, the arm members of the display support assembly being rotatably mounted to opposing inner sides of the head band that face each other with a joint arrangement;
• laterally bending the right and left side portions of the laterally flexible resilient support member towards and away from each other to adjust to head size;
• pivotably adjusting the display relative to the cross member with the pivot joint that mounts the display to the cross member;
• and
• pivotably raising and lowering the display support assembly relative to the head band with the joint arrangement that rotatably mounts the arm members of the display support assembly to the opposing inner sides of the head band.
