  • Compact wide field of view imaging system
    Patent number: 6563648
    Abstract: The present invention provides an enhanced viewing eyepiece for a micro-display. In one embodiment, the invention is an optical imaging system that includes a prism having a first face directed toward a display to receive light from the display and direct it through a second face, a converging optical element between the second face of the prism and the display, and a reflective converging optical element adjacent the second face of the prism to receive the display light through the second face of the prism and reflect it back into the second face of the prism, the invention further includes a diverging optical element aligned with the reflective converging optical element to receive the display light reflected back into the first prism and direct it to an exit pupil.

  • Illumination system for a micro display
    Patent number: 6490104
    Abstract: A compact and efficient illumination system is provided that is particularly suitable for illuminating a micro display and places the light source within the view of the display. In one embodiment, the illumination system comprises a light source, a package for the light source having a reflective surface on at least one side of the light source, and a diffuser opposite the reflective surface in direct view of the light source. The invention further comprises a film stack to receive light through the diffuser, the film stack transmitting light within a maximum exit angle and reflecting substantially all other light to the diffuser.
