Publication number: 20240085713Abstract: Light of a virtual image of image content is projected by an optical subsystem to an eye location. The optical subsystem collects the light from or through a first aperture onto an exit pupil on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye, and forms an image of the first aperture at the exit pupil. The virtual image is of an object located within a second aperture, wherein the first and second apertures are not collocated. In an associated method, a flat-panel image-display modulator within the second aperture imparts image content of the virtual image onto light generated by a source of light within the first aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: PANAMORPH, INC.Inventor: Shawn L.

Publication number: 20230384584Abstract: A beam of light is directed onto, and scanned across, a controllably-selected portion of a concave-curved light-redirecting surface that provides for redirecting and redistributing the light and illuminating a two-dimensional image-display modulation array. A virtual image of the two-dimensional image-display modulation array is formed by an optical subsystem. Light thereof. propagating from an aperture of the optical subsystem is collected onto a subpupil within an exit pupil of the optical subsystem on a surface proximate to an outer surface of an eye location. The subpupil is associated with the controllably-selected portion of the concave-curved light-redirecting surface, and with a corresponding portion less than all of the light of the virtual image that is associated with a gaze direction of the eye when viewing the subpupil. A location of the subpupil within the exit pupil corresponds to a location of the controllably-selected portion on the concave-curved light-redirecting surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventor: Shawn L.
