Abstract: A wearable display system includes one or more emissive micro-displays, e.g., micro-LED displays. The micro-displays may be monochrome micro-displays or full-color micro-displays. The micro-displays may include arrays of light emitters. Light collimators may be utilized to narrow the angular emission profile of light emitted by the light emitters. Where a plurality of emissive micro-displays is utilized, the micro-displays may be positioned at different sides of an optical combiner, e.g., an X-cube prism which receives light rays from different micro-displays and outputs the light rays from the same face of the cube. The optical combiner directs the light to projection optics, which outputs the light to an eyepiece that relays the light to a user's eye. The eyepiece may output the light to the user's eye with different amounts of wavefront divergence, to place virtual content on different depth planes.

Abstract: An augmented reality system includes a light source to generate a virtual light beam, the virtual light beam carrying information for a virtual object. The system also includes a light guiding optical element, the light guiding optical element allowing a first portion of a first real-world light beam to pass therethrough, where the virtual light beam enters the light guiding optical element, propagates through the light guiding optical element by substantially total internal reflection (TIR), and exits the light guiding optical element. The system further includes a lens disposed adjacent and exterior to a surface of the light guiding optical element, the lens comprising a light modulating mechanism to absorb a second portion of the real-world light beam and to allow the first portion of the real-world light to pass through the lens.

Abstract: Embodiments shifts the color fields of a rendered image frame based on the eye tracking data (e.g. position of the user's pupils). An MR device obtains a first image frame having a set of color fields. The first image frame corresponds to a first position of the pupils of the viewer. The MR device then determines a second position of the pupils of the viewer based on, for example, data receive from an eye tracking device coupled to the MR device. The MR device generates, based on the first image frame, a second image frame corresponding to the second position of the pupils. The second image frame is generated by shifting color fields by a shift value based on the second position of the pupils of the viewer. The MR device transmits the second image frame to a display device of the MR device to be displayed thereon.

Abstract: Embodiments transform an image frame based on a position of pupils of a viewer to eliminate visual artefacts formed on an image frame displayed on a scanning-type display device. An MR system obtains a first image frame corresponding to a first view perspective associated with a first pupil position. The system receives data from an eye tracking device, determines a second pupil position, and generates a second image frame corresponding to a second view perspective associated with the second pupil position. A first set of pixels of the second image frame are shifted by a first shift value, and a second set of pixels of the second image frame are shifted by a second shift value, where the shift values are calculated based on at least the second pupil position. The system transmits the second image frame to a near-eye display device to be displayed thereon.

Abstract: The locations of pixels in a frame are adjusted at a display controller after the frame has been generated by a graphics processing unit (GPU) or other processor and provided to the display controller. The adjusting of the pixel locations therefore occurs as close as possible to a display panel in a display system, thereby supporting rapid changes to pixel positions.
