Abstract: An optical subsystem for use in a display system or an imaging system comprises a plurality of reflective surfaces collectively arranged to provide variable control of device-internal path lengths of light coming to an imaging sensor or traveling a path to an eye of a viewer. The optical subsystem can be used to provide multiple images concurrently at different apparent depths as perceived by the user.

Abstract: A display system that is configured for integration into a vehicle comprises a light source and an optical subsystem optically coupled to the light source. The optical subsystem includes a reflector and at least one semi-reflective optic, wherein the optical subsystem is configured to direct light rays to provide a plurality of virtual images that appear to a viewer concurrently at a respective plurality of different optical depths, by causing light of each of the virtual images to travel a different distance within the optical subsystem before exiting the optical subsystem on a path toward eyes of the viewer.

Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure describe a display system for optically fusing light, comprising: multiple image sources configured to emit light corresponding to multiple respective image portions; a bent reflector comprising multiple segments, each segment configured to receive the light emitted by a corresponding image source, and reflect the light to a back reflector that has a bend region including a first of the segments attached to a second of the segments at an angle; and the back reflector, the back reflector configured to: modify a polarization or an angular profile of the light reflected by each segment; and after modifying the polarization or the angular profile, reflect the light back to the segments such that the light passes through the segments, wherein the angle is configured such that after the light reflected by the back reflector passes through the segments, the image portions are tiled or fused.
