  • Patent number: 11988839
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an optical system for an augmented reality apparatus, comprising: an image projection source; and a polarizing beam splitter. The polarizing beam splitter has a beam splitting side adjacent to the image projection source and a transmission side facing away from the image projection source. The polarizing beam splitter is arranged such that light emitted from the image projection source is able to be non-perpendicularly incident on the beam splitting side and be at least partially reflected. The polarizing beam splitter is configured such that when light is incident on the beam splitting side, a polarized light component passes through the polarizing beam splitter and is transmitted through the transmission side thereof, and a polarized light component is reflected from the beam splitting side. The optical system also comprises a polarizer disposed between the image projection source and the beam splitting side of the polarizing beam splitter.

  • Patent number: 11867906
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) display device is described. The display device includes a projection source; a first optical path having a first beamsplitter and a first reflector; and a second optical path having a second beamsplitter and a second reflector. The first and second reflectors each include a reflective film. Virtual image light emitted from the projection source and carrying virtual image information first passes through the first optical path where it is reflected at least twice and transmitted at least once by the first beamsplitter and the first reflector, then enters the second optical path where it is transmitted at least once and reflected at least twice by the second beamsplitter and the second reflector, and enters a human eye. Scene light from a real scene enters the human eye through the second optical path. A wearable AR system can include the AR display device and the projection source.
