  • Method of combining images in a wearable display system
    Patent number: 7589902
    Abstract: A wearable display system, such as a Head Mounted Display, having a display engine producing light, preferably linearly polarized light, which defines a synthetic image that is relayed to a wire grid polarizing combiner which overlays the synthetic image onto a real image of an object of the outside world, and wherein the real image is contemporaneously viewed through the wire grid polarizing combiner by the wearer of the system. The wire grid polarizing combiner can be curved in at least one axis, and preferably two axis such that optical power is added to the wire grid polarizing combiner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2007
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2009
    Assignee: Concurrent Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: John Garoutte, David Bajorins, Chris Gnehm
