Spectacle with invisible optics

A wearable electronic display comprising:

• an eyewear frame having the configuration of eyeglasses, including a front frame portion having two eyewear rims with upper and lower portions, the front frame portion being connected between first and second side frame members;
• and
• a display module mounted to the eyewear frame having a micro-display for generating images, the display module having an elongate portion with an image exit window positioned for directing viewable images to a user's eye, the elongate portion of the display module extending laterally generally along the level of the upper portion of one eyewear rim and having a generally comparable thickness as said eyewear rim, the image exit window being positioned near or at a center of said eyewear rim and tilted in a downwardly direction for viewing, the display module being sized, shaped, positioned and configured to be blended into an appearance of the upper portion of said one eyewear rim so as to be not readily apparent or seen, and at the same time the image exit window already being in proper position for viewing.

A method of viewing images comprising:

• wearing a wearable electronic display, the wearable electronic display having an eyewear frame with a first side frame portion worn by a user in which the eyewear frame has the configuration of eyeglasses, with a front frame portion connected to the first side frame portion and having above eye and below eye frame members being upper and lower portions of two eyewear rims, a display module being mounted to the eyewear frame and having a micro-display for generating images;
• and
• directing viewable images to an eye of the user from an image exit window positioned at an elongate portion of the display module, the elongate portion of the display module having a generally comparable width and/or thickness as the eyewear rims, while extending laterally generally along the level of one of the above eye and below eye frame members of the eyewear rims with the image exit window being positioned near or at a center of an eyewear rim, the display module being sized, shaped, positioned and configured to be blended into an appearance of said one of the above eye and below eye frame members so as to be not readily apparent or seen, and at the same time the image exit window already being in proper position for viewing.
