  • Stereoscopic projection system with multiple power groups
    Patent number: 9223142
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a stereoscopic projection system and methods. An exemplary disclosed projection system includes an optical component disposed between the lenses of a lens arrangement. An exemplary lens arrangement includes a first power group, a second power group, and an aperture stop. In an embodiment, the optical component is disposed between the first power group and the aperture stop. In an exemplary embodiment, the optical component is proximate to the aperture stop. By disposing the optical component closer to or proximate to the aperture stop in the lens arrangement, various benefits may be realized, including improved contrast uniformity.

  • Image generator having an improved illumination system
    Patent number: 6488389
    Abstract: The invention provides an illumination system for a head-mounted display. The illumination system includes a plurality of illuminators which irradiate light over an area. The area has a central region where the light has a selective intensity, and outer regions on opposing sides of the central regions where the light has higher intensities than the selective intensity.

  • Electro-optical device and method
    Patent number: 5868951
    Abstract: A method for making an electro-optic device or electro-optic display system having enhanced performance over conventional flat-panel displays, wherein a planarizing polymeric resin layer is spin-cast on a flat-panel backplane containing pixel circuitry. The spin-cast layer is cured to provide a flat backplane. Vias are opened in the cured polymeric resin to each pixel. Metal is deposited to fill the vias and to form a confluent, overlying metal layer on the upper surface. The metal layer is patterned and etched to form individual mirrors over each pixel. The metal acts as both a switchable electrode and as a high aperture, highly reflective mirror over each pixel. Electro-optic devices which may be made using such a process are also disclosed.
