Waveguide Display with Wide Angle Peripheral Field of View

Abstract

Systems and methods for waveguide displays having a wide-angle peripheral field of view in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are illustrated. One embodiment includes a helmet-integrated waveguide display including a helmet, a first picture generation unit (PGU), data communication and power supply links integrated within the helmet, a cable for transmitting signals from the data communication and power supply links to the PGU, and waveguide glasses including a first waveguide for projecting image modulated light from the PGU into an eyebox, and a frame supporting the waveguide, wherein the waveguide has outer edges not abutted by the frame, the waveguide is separated from the PGU by an air space providing unobscured lines of sight between the PGU and the outer edges, and the cable interfaces to the PGU via a self-mating mechanism.
