Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed apparatuses, methods, and systems provide enhanced display of images for personal wearable display devices. The display systems include various system components to implement one or more of: re-directing the maximal brightness of a display device towards the center of the eye-box of a user; selectively narrowing the viewing angle of light emitted by the display device; and by spatially optimizing the backlight of the display device based on the specification of the wearable optical system thereby optimizing and/or maximizing the amount of light entering the eye for a range of gaze rotation of a user of the wearable display system. In one example, the following description provides a display device including a light optimizing or directing layer. The light optimizing layer includes one or more films that optimize the amount of light directed to the eye box of a user of the wearable display system.

Abstract: A system to provide views of virtual content in an interactive space, e.g., an augmented reality environment, may comprise one or more of a light source, directional control device, variable power lens, beam steering device, optical element, and/or one or more physical processors. A light source may generate collimated light rays in accordance with virtual content to be perceived within a three-dimensional light field. A directional control device may controllable adjust direction of travel of collimated light rays toward a beam steering device. A variable power lens may be positioned to receive collimated light rays between a light source and a directional control device. A beam steering device may be configured to direct collimated light rays to locations on an optical element. An optical element may be configured to reflect collimated light rays in a focal plane of a perceived three-dimensional light field.
