Novel waveguide system for a near-eye display

A waveguide system for a near-eye display, comprising:

• a first waveguide section having an aperture through which light beams corresponding to an image from an image projector enter the waveguide system, wherein the first waveguide section includes one or more first optical elements configured to couple light corresponding to the image out of the first waveguide section so as to expand the aperture in a first dimension;
• and
• a second waveguide section disposed on a first side of the first waveguide section and configured to receive light from the first waveguide section and including one or more second optical elements configured to couple out light corresponding to the image so as to expand the aperture in a second dimension nonparallel to the first dimension;
• one or more reflectors disposed on a second side of the first waveguide section opposite the first side, wherein (1) the one or more first optical elements couple the light corresponding to the image out of the first waveguide section towards the one or more reflectors and (2) the one or more reflectors reflect the light corresponding to the image back through the first waveguide section towards the second waveguide section.
