Abstract

A personal display apparatus and method is disclosed which provides a visual image combined with background scene. The display image is created by a linear array of light emitting diodes (LEDs). A two-dimensional pattern is generated by reflecting the light off of a rotating mirror. The display pattern is reflected again into the user's eye, superimposing the backgroung scene and display image. A symbol generator controls the rotation of the mirror and the operation of the LEDs. The display system targets military vehicle and aircraft applications, but has many commercial applications.
