  • Patent number: 11740466
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display module that generates light and an optical system that redirects the light towards an eye box. The system may include an input coupler that couples the light into the waveguide. The input coupler may include a prism on the waveguide and a scanning mirror. The scanning mirror may receive the light through the waveguide and the prism and may reflect the light into the waveguide through the prism while being rotated over a set of orientations. The scanning mirror may fill a relatively large field of view eye box with a corresponding image frame despite the limited field of view of the image light produced by the display module. The orientation of the scanning mirror may be adjusted based on gaze tracking data.

  • Patent number: 11614653
    Abstract: Color may be achieved in TIR-based image displays by addition of a sub-pixel color filter array (CFA). Color may be enhanced by tuning the size, shape, arrangement and colors of the sub-pixel color filters in the CFA. CFAs comprising of pixels further comprising one to four or more different repeating sub-pixel color filters may be capable of creating a wide gamut of displayable colors. The sub-pixels may be arranged in repeat cells wherein the sub-pixels within the repeat cell may be mapped to one or more pixels. Sub-pixel rendering may be used during driving of a TIR-based display. Sub-pixel rendering uses logical dynamic pixels where a single sub-pixel may be used in one or more pixels depending on the image displayed.
