  • See-through near-eye display glasses with a light transmissive wedge shaped illumination system
    Patent number: 9229227
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content, wherein the optical assembly comprises a light transmissive wedge-shaped illumination system with an LED lighting system coupled to an edge of the wedge, and wherein an angled surface of the wedge directs light from the LED lighting system to uniformly irradiate a reflective image display to produce an image that is reflected through the illumination system to provide the displayed content to the user.
