Near-to-eye display device using a spatial light modulator

A near-to-eye display device (10) comprising a light modulator unit and an optical imaging module characterized in that;

• said light modulator unit consists of at least one light source (11), a spatial light modulator (18), which displays computer generated holograms to spatially modulate the light incident from said one light source (11);
• said optical imaging module comprises at least one imaging lens (20) capturing rays modulated by the spatial light modulator (18) and forming a spatial light modulator image (21) at a spatial light modulator image plane (22);
• wherein the spatial light modulator image (21) substantially overlaps with an eye rotation center (17) of a human eye (15);
• wherein said imaging lens (20) is disposed relative to eye pupil (19) of said human eye (15) such that a viewing box (26) is formed at an exit pupil plane (27) between the imaging lens (20) and said spatial light modulator image plane (22) and;
• wherein said eye pupil (19) entirely lie inside said viewing box (26) when said near-to-eye display device (10) is in use.
