Claims20
A display system for a viewing optic comprising:
- a first active display configured to generate a first image, and a second active display configured to generate a second image, wherein the first active display and second active display are perpendicular to one another, and further wherein the first image or the second image is directed to a first beam combiner for simultaneous overlaid viewing with an image of an outward scene in a first focal plane of the viewing optic.
A display system for a viewing optic comprising:
- a first active display configured to generate a first image, a second active display configured to generate a second image, a beam combiner located between the first active display and the second active display and configured to combine the first image and the second image to generate a combined image, wherein the combined image is projected into a first focal plane of a viewing optic.
A method for viewing with a viewing optic comprising:
- viewing a field of view of an outward scene with an optical system having a first focal plane and a first beam combiner;
- generating a first image with a first active display;
- generating a second image with a second active display;
- combining the first image and the second image with a second beam combiner to produce a combined image;
- and
- directing the combined image to the first beam combiner for simultaneous overlaid viewing of the combined image and image of the outward scene in the first focal plane of the viewing optic.
