Wearable display systems with nanowire led micro-displays

A method comprising:

• outputting image light via a plurality of nanowire micro-LED displays arranged on a polyhedral prism of a head-mounted display system;
• directing, via the polyhedral prism, the image light toward an eyepiece of the head-mounted display system;
• and
• receiving, via the eyepiece, the image light from the nanowire micro-LED displays and directing the image light to an eye of a user.

A method comprising:

• outputting image light via a nanowire micro-LED display of a head-mounted display system;
• and
• receiving the image light via an eyepiece and directing the image light to an eye of a user, the eyepiece including a plurality of waveguides forming a waveguide stack, each waveguide of the waveguide stack comprising:
• an in-coupling optical element configured to in-couple light from the nanowire micro-LED display into the waveguide;
• and
• an out-coupling optical element configured to out-couple in-coupled light out of the waveguide.

A method comprising:

• outputting image light via a nanowire micro-LED display of a head-mounted display system;
• receiving the image light via an eyepiece and directing the image light to an eye of a user, the eyepiece including a plurality of variable focus lens elements including a first variable focus lens element and a second variable focus lens element, and a waveguide comprising diffractive light in-coupling and out-coupling optical elements positioned between the first and second variable focus lens elements;
• modifying, via the first variable focus lens element, a wavefront divergence of light output by the waveguide, and
• modifying, via the second variable focus lens element, a wavefront divergence of light from an external world propagating through the second variable focus lens element.

A method comprising:

• outputting light via a nanowire micro-LED display of a head-mounted display system;
• receiving the image light via an eyepiece and directing the image light to an eye of a user, the eyepiece including a waveguide stack and a color filter between two neighboring waveguides of the waveguide stack, wherein a first of the neighboring waveguides precedes a second of the neighboring waveguides in a light path extending from the nanowire micro-LED display;
• and
• selectively absorbing, via the color filter, light of a wavelength corresponding to a wavelength of light configured to be in-coupled by an in-coupling optical element of the first of the neighboring waveguides.
