Patent number: 11181747Abstract: A wearable display apparatus has a headset for display from left-eye and right-eye near-eye catadioptric pupil-forming optical systems, each defining an exit pupil. Each optical system has an image generator to direct image-bearing light for a 2D image from an emissive surface. A curved reflective surface along the view axis is partially transmissive and defines a curved intermediate focal surface. A beam splitter reflects light toward the curved reflective surface. An image relay optically conjugates the formed image with a curved aerial image formed in air at the curved intermediate focal surface. The image relay has a prism having an input surface facing the emissive surface of the image generator, an output surface facing the curved intermediate focal surface, and a folding surface between input and output surfaces for folding the optical path for light generated by the image generator. An aperture stop for the relay is within the prism.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Raytrx, LLCInventors: David Kessler, Michael H.

Patent number: 11112611Abstract: A display has an image generator; a partially transmissive mirror having a curved surface; a beam splitter to reflect incident light toward the curved surface; and an optical image relay that defines a path to relay light to a curved focal surface of a partially transmissive mirror, the curved focal surface is between a curved reflective surface of the partial mirror and the beam splitter. A prism has a folding surface in the optical path for light from the image generator, wherein an aperture stop for the relay lies within the prism. A first plano-aspheric lens, against the prism input surface, guides light from the image generator toward the folding surface; a second plano-aspheric lens, in optical contact against the prism output surface, directs light to the curved focal surface. The relay, curved mirror, and beam splitter form an exit pupil for viewing the scene with a 2D image superimposed.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Raytrx, LLCInventors: David Kessler, Michael H.
