Publication number: 20250155718Abstract: A wearable display system includes one or more emissive micro-displays, e.g., micro-LED displays. The micro-displays may be monochrome micro-displays or full-color micro-displays. The micro-displays may include arrays of light emitters. Light collimators may be utilized to narrow the angular emission profile of light emitted by the light emitters. Where a plurality of emissive micro-displays is utilized, the micro-displays may be positioned at different sides of an optical combiner, e.g., an X-cube prism which receives light rays from different micro-displays and outputs the light rays from the same face of the cube. The optical combiner directs the light to projection optics, which outputs the light to an eyepiece that relays the light to a user's eye. The eyepiece may output the light to the user's eye with different amounts of wavefront divergence, to place virtual content on different depth planes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2025Publication date: May 15, 2025Inventors: Michael Anthony KLUG, Evgeni POLIAKOV, Jahja I.

Patent number: 12292571Abstract: This disclosure describes a wearable display system configured to project light to the eye(s) of a user to display virtual (e.g., augmented reality) image content in a vision field of the user.

Patent number: 12270999Abstract: A method and system for increasing dynamic digitized wavefront resolution, i.e., the density of output beamlets, can include receiving a single collimated source light beam and producing multiple output beamlets spatially offset when out-coupled from a waveguide. The multiple output beamlets can be obtained by offsetting and replicating a collimated source light beam. Alternatively, the multiple output beamlets can be obtained by using a collimated incoming source light beam having multiple input beams with different wavelengths in the vicinity of the nominal wavelength of a particular color. The collimated incoming source light beam can be in-coupled into the eyepiece designed for the nominal wavelength. The input beams with multiple wavelengths take different paths when they undergo total internal reflection in the waveguide, which produces multiple output beamlets.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Lionel Ernest Edwin, Ivan Li Chuen Yeoh, Brian T.

Publication number: 20250040777Abstract: Various cleaning devices with fluid tank empty detection and methods related thereto are provided. In general, a cleaning device can be configured to determine whether a fluid container is empty using an electromotive force (EMF) at a fluid pump configured to pump fluid from the fluid container. When the fluid container becomes empty, fluid cannot be supplied from the cleaning device to a surface until more fluid is added to the fluid container. Thus, by determining whether the fluid container is empty, a user of the cleaning device may be made aware when the fluid container becomes empty and needs refilling (or replacement).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Fai Xie, Shady Wei, Teddy Li, Kevin Richard Kennedy, Bob Yin
