Abstract
A waveguide system of an eyewear display device guides display light from a primary display to a primary field of view (FOV) and guides display light from a secondary display to a secondary FOV that is displaced from the primary FOV. Additional display light of a given color that is incoupled to the waveguide system at a different angle than the primary display light is outcoupled from the waveguide system at a corresponding angle displaced from the primary FOV to form a secondary FOV that is spatially displaced from the primary FOV in some embodiments.
Claims20
A near-eye display system, comprising:
- a waveguide system;
- a first display to emit display light comprising a first color to enter a waveguide system at a first set of input angles corresponding to a first field of view;
- and
- a second display displaced from the first display to emit display light comprising a second color to enter the waveguide system at a second set of input angles corresponding to a second field of view, wherein the waveguide system is configured to direct display light from the first display to the first field of view and to direct display light from the second display to the second field of view.
A method, comprising:
- emitting display light comprising a first color from a first display to enter a waveguide system at a first set of input angles corresponding to a first field of view;
- emitting display light comprising a second color from a second display to enter the waveguide system at a second set of input angles corresponding to a second field of view;
- and
- directing display light from the first display through the waveguide system to the first field of view;
- and
- directing display light from the second display through the waveguide system to the second field of view.
A waveguide system, comprising:
- a waveguide to direct primary display light from a primary display to a primary field of view and to direct secondary display light from a secondary display to a secondary field of view offset from the primary field of view.
