See-through near-eye display glasses including a partially reflective, partially transmitting optical element

A system, comprising:

• an interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user, wherein the eyepiece includes an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and displayed content, an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user, and an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly,
• wherein the integrated image source directs light to a single curved polarizing film, said single curved polarizing film comprising at least one layer, that reflects a portion of the light to illuminate a reflective image display that transmits illuminating light through the single curved polarizing film to provide image light, and
• wherein the optical assembly comprises a partially reflective, partially transmitting optical element that reflects a portion of the image light from the integrated image source and transmits scene light from a see-through view of the surrounding environment, so that a combined image comprised of portions of the reflected image light and the transmitted scene light is provided to a user's eye.
