- the upper and lower optical modules 202 and 204 will generally be described as separate modules, it should be understood that this is illustrative only and the present invention includes other physical configurations, such as that when the two modules are combined into a single module or where the elements making up the two modules are configured into more than two modules.
- the upper module 202 includes a computer controlled display (e.g. LCoS, DLP, OLED, etc.) and image light delivery optics.
- the lower module includes eye delivery optics that are configured to receive the upper module's image light and deliver the image light to the eye of a wearer of the HWC.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a HWC 102 with an optical system that includes an upper optical module 202 and a lower optical module 204 .
- the upper and lower optical modules 202 and 204 will generally be described as separate modules, it should be understood that this is illustrative
- FIG. 3 b illustrates an upper optical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- the upper optical module 202 includes a DLP computer operated display 304 which includes pixels comprised of rotatable mirrors, polarized light source 302 , 1 ⁇ 4wave retarder film 308 , reflective polarizer 310 and a field lens 312 .
- the polarized light source 302 provides substantially uniform light that is generally directed towards the reflective polarizer 310 .
- the reflective polarizer reflects light of one polarization state (e.g. S polarized light) and transmits light of the other polarization state (e.g. P polarized light).
- the polarized light source 302 and the reflective polarizer 310 are oriented so that the polarized light from the polarized light source 302 reflected generally towards the DLP 304 .
- the light then passes through the 1 ⁇ 4wave film 308 once before illuminating the pixels of the DLP 304 and then again after being reflected by the pixels of the DLP 304 .
- the light is converted from one polarization state to the other polarization state (e.g. the light is converted from S to P polarized light).
- the light then passes through the reflective polarizer 310 .
- the DLP pixel(s) are in the “on” state (i.e.
- the mirrors are positioned to reflect light back towards the field lens 312 , the “on” pixels reflect the light generally along the optical axis and into the field lens 312 .
- This light that is reflected by “on” pixels and which is directed generally along the optical axis of the field lens 312 will be referred to as image light 316 .
- the image light 316 then passes through the field lens to be used by a lower optical module 204 .
- the light that is provided by the polarized light source 302 , which is subsequently reflected by the reflective polarizer 310 before it reflects from the DLP 304 , will generally be referred to as illumination light.
- the light that is reflected by the “off′ pixels of the DLP 304 is reflected at a different angle than the light reflected by the ‘on” pixels, so that the light from the “off” pixels is generally directed away from the optical axis of the field lens 312 and toward the side of the upper optical module 202 as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the light that is reflected by the “off” pixels of the DLP 304 will be referred to as dark state light 314 .
- the DLP 304 operates as a computer controlled display and is generally thought of as a MEMs device.
- the DLP pixels are comprised of small mirrors that can be directed. The mirrors generally flip from one angle to another angle. The two angles are generally referred to as states. When light is used to illuminate the DLP the mirrors will reflect the light in a direction depending on the state. In embodiments herein, we generally refer to the two states as “on” and “off,” which is intended to depict the condition of a display pixel. “On” pixels will be seen by a viewer of the display as emitting light because the light is directed along the optical axis and into the field lens and the associated remainder of the display system.
- “Off” pixels will be seen by a viewer of the display as not emitting light because the light from these pixels is directed to the side of the optical housing and into a light dump where the light is absorbed.
- the pattern of “on” and “off” pixels produces image light that is perceived by a viewer of the display as a computer generated image.
- Full color images can be presented to a user by sequentially providing illumination light with complimentary colors such as red, green and blue. Where the sequence is presented in a recurring cycle that is faster than the user can perceive as separate images and as a result the user perceives a full color image comprised of the sum of the sequential images.
- Bright pixels in the image are provided by pixels that remain in the “on” state for the entire time of the cycle, while dimmer pixels in the image are provided by pixels that switch between the “on” state and “off” state within the time of the cycle.
- FIG. 3 a shows an illustration of a system for a DLP 304 in which the unpolarized light source 350 is pointed directly at the DLP 304 .
- the angle required for the illumination light is such that the field lens 352 must be positioned substantially distant from the DLP 304 to avoid the illumination light from being clipped by the field lens 352 .
- the large distance between the field lens 352 and the DLP 304 along with the straight path of the dark state light 352 means that the light trap for the dark state light 352 is located at a substantial distance from the DLP. For these reasons, this configuration is larger in size compared to the upper optics module 202 of the preferred embodiments.
- the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 b can be lightweight and compact such that it fits into a portion of a HWC.
- the upper modules 202 illustrated herein can be physically adapted to mount in an upper frame of a HWC such that the image light can be directed into a lower optical module 204 for presentation of digital content to a wearer's eye.
- the package of components that combine to generate the image light i.e. the polarized light source 302 , DLP 304 , reflective polarizer 310 and 1 ⁇ 4 wave film 308 ) is very light and is compact.
- the height of the system, excluding the field lens may be less than 8 mm.
- the width (i.e. from front to back) may be less than 8 mm.
- the weight may be less than 2 grams.
- the compactness of this upper optical module 202 allows for a compact mechanical design of the HWC and the light weight nature of these embodiments help make the HWC lightweight to provide for a HWC that is comfortable for a wearer of the HWC.
- the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 b can produce sharp contrast, high brightness and deep blacks, especially when compared to LCD or LCoS displays used in HWC.
- the “on” and “off” states of the DLP provide for a strong differentiator in the light reflection path representing an “on” pixel and an “off” pixel.
- the dark state light from the “off” pixel reflections can be managed to reduce stray light in the display system to produce images with high contrast.
- FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of an upper optical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- This embodiment includes a light source 404 , but in this case, the light source can provide unpolarized illumination light.
- the illumination light from the light source 404 is directed into a TIR wedge 418 such that the illumination light is incident on an internal surface of the TIR wedge 418 (shown as the angled lower surface of the TRI wedge 418 in FIG. 4 ) at an angle that is beyond the critical angle as defined by Eqn 1.
- the critical angle is the angle beyond which the illumination light is reflected from the internal surface when the internal surface comprises an interface from a solid with a higher refractive index to air with a refractive index of 1 (e.g. for an interface of acrylic, with a refractive index of 1.5, to air, the critical angle is 41.8 degrees; for an interface of polycarbonate, with a refractive index of 1.59, to air the critical angle is 38.9 degrees). Consequently, the TIR wedge 418 is associated with a thin air gap 408 along the internal surface to create an interface between a solid with a higher refractive index and air.
- illumination light is turned toward the DLP 402 at an angle suitable for providing image light as reflected from “on” pixels.
- the illumination light is provided to the DLP 402 at approximately twice the angle of the pixel mirrors in the DLP 402 that are in the “on” state, such that after reflecting from the pixel mirrors, the image light is directed generally along the optical axis of the field lens.
- the illumination light from “on” pixels may be reflected as image light 414 which is directed towards a field lens and a lower optical module 204 , while illumination light reflected from “off” pixels (dark state light) is directed in a separate direction 410 , which may be trapped and not used for the image that is ultimately presented to the wearer's eye.
- the light trap may be located along the optical axis defined by the direction 410 and in the side of the housing, with the function of absorbing the dark state light.
- the light trap may be comprised of an area outside of the cone of image light from the “on” pixels.
- the light trap is typically madeup of materials that absorb light including coatings of black paints or other light absorbing to prevent light scattering from the dark state light degrading the image perceived by the user.
- the light trap may be recessed into the wall of the housing or include masks or guards to block scattered light and prevent the light trap from being viewed adjacent to the displayed image.
- the embodiment of FIG. 4 also includes a corrective wedge 420 to correct the effect of refraction of the image light 414 as it exits the TIR wedge 418 .
- a corrective wedge 420 to correct the effect of refraction of the image light 414 as it exits the TIR wedge 418 .
- the image light from the “on” pixels can be maintained generally in a direction along the optical axis of the field lens so it passes into the field lens and the lower optical module 204 .
- the image light from the “on” pixels exits the corrective wedge 420 generally perpendicular to the surface of the corrective wedge 420 while the dark state light exits at an oblique angle.
- the direction of the image light from the “on” pixels is largely unaffected by refraction as it exits from the surface of the corrective wedge 420 .
- the dark state light is substantially changed in direction by refraction when the dark state light exits the corrective wedge 420 .
- the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4 has the similar advantages of those discussed in connection with the embodiment of FIG. 3 b .
- the dimensions and weight of the upper module 202 depicted in FIG. 4 may be approximately 8 ⁇ 8 mm with a weight of less than 3 grams.
- a difference in overall performance between the configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 b and the configuration illustrated in FIG. 4 is that the embodiment of FIG. 4 doesn't require the use of polarized light as supplied by the light source 404 . This can be an advantage in some situations as will be discussed in more detail below (e.g. increased see-through transparency of the HWC optics from the user's perspective).
- An addition advantage of the embodiment of FIG. 4 compared to the embodiment shown in FIG.
- FIG. 3 b is that the dark state light (shown as DLP off light 410 ) is directed at a steeper angle away from the optical axis due to the added refraction encountered when the dark state light exits the corrective wedge 420 .
- This steeper angle of the dark state light allows for the light trap to be positioned closer to the DLP 402 so that the overall size of the upper module 202 can be reduced.
- the light trap can also be made larger since the light trap doesn't interfere with the field lens, thereby the efficiency of the light trap can be increased and as a result, stray light can be reduced and the contrast of the image perceived by the user can be increased.
- FIG. 4 a illustrates the embodiment described in connection with FIG. 4 with the addition of more details on light angles at the various surfaces.
- FIG. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of an upper optical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 does not require the use of polarized light.
- the optical module 202 depicted in FIG. 5 is similar to that presented in connection with FIG. 4 ; however, the embodiment of FIG. 5 includes an off light redirection wedge 502 .
- the off light redirection wedge 502 allows the image light 414 to continue generally along the optical axis toward the field lens and into the lower optical module 204 (as illustrated). However, the off light 504 is redirected substantially toward the side of the corrective wedge 420 where it passes into the light trap.
- This configuration may allow further height compactness in the HWC because the light trap (not illustrated) that is intended to absorb the off light 504 can be positioned laterally adjacent the upper optical module 202 as opposed to below it.
- the light trap (not illustrated) that is intended to absorb the off light 504 can be positioned laterally adjacent the upper optical module 202 as opposed to below it.
- FIG. 5 a illustrates the embodiment described in connection with FIG. 5 with the addition of more details on light angles at the various surfaces.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a combination of an upper optical module 202 with a lower optical module 204 .
- the image light projected from the upper optical module 202 may or may not be polarized.
- the image light is reflected off a flat combiner element 602 such that it is directed towards the user's eye.
- the combiner element 602 is a partial mirror that reflects image light while transmitting a substantial portion of light from the environment so the user can look through the combiner element and see the environment surrounding the HWC.
- the combiner 602 may include a holographic pattern, to form a holographic mirror. If a monochrome image is desired, there may be a single wavelength reflection design for the holographic pattern on the surface of the combiner 602 . If the intention is to have multiple colors reflected from the surface of the combiner 602 , a multiple wavelength holographic mirror maybe included on the combiner surface. For example, in a three color embodiment, where red, green and blue pixels are generated in the image light, the holographic mirror may be reflective to wavelengths matching the wavelengths of the red, green and blue light provided by the light source. This configuration can be used as a wavelength specific mirror where pre-determined wavelengths of light from the image light are reflected to the user's eye.
- This configuration may also be made such that substantially all other wavelengths in the visible pass through the combiner element 602 so the user has a substantially clear view of the surroundings when looking through the combiner element 602 .
- the transparency between the user's eye and the surrounding may be approximately 80% when using a combiner that is a holographic mirror.
- holographic mirrors can be made using lasers to produce interference patterns in the holographic material of the combiner where the wavelengths of the lasers correspond to the wavelengths of light that are subsequently reflected by the holographic mirror.
- the combiner element 602 may include a notch mirror comprised of a multilayer coated substrate wherein the coating is designed to substantially reflect the wavelengths of light provided by the light source and substantially transmit the remaining wavelengths in the visible spectrum.
- the notch mirror is a tristimulus notch mirror wherein the multilayer coating is designed to reflect narrow bands of red, green and blue light that are matched to the what is provided by the light source and the remaining visible wavelengths are transmitted to enable a view of the environment through the combiner.
- the notch mirror is designed to reflect a narrow band of light that is matched to the wavelengths of light provided by the light source while transmitting the remaining visible wavelengths to enable a see-thru view of the environment.
- the combiner 602 with the notch mirror would operate, from the user's perspective, in a manner similar to the combiner that includes a holographic pattern on the combiner element 602 .
- the combiner, with the tristimulus notch mirror would reflect the “on” pixels to the eye because of the match between the reflective wavelengths of the notch mirror and the color of the image light, and the wearer would be able to see with high clarity the surroundings.
- the transparency between the user's eye and the surrounding may be approximately 80% when using the tristimulus notch mirror.
- the image provided by the upper optical module 202 with the notch mirror combiner can provide higher contrast images than the holographic mirror combiner due to less scattering of the imaging light by the combiner.
- Light can escape through the combiner 602 and may produce face glow as the light is generally directed downward onto the cheek of the user.
- the escaping light can be trapped to avoid face glow.
- a linear polarizer can be laminated, or otherwise associated, to the combiner, with the transmission axis of the polarizer oriented relative to the polarized image light so that any escaping image light is absorbed by the polarizer.
- the image light would be polarized to provide S polarized light to the combiner for better reflection.
- the linear polarizer on the combiner would be oriented to absorb S polarized light and pass P polarized light. This provides the preferred orientation of polarized sunglasses as well.
- a microlouvered film such as a privacy filter can be used to absorb the escaping image light while providing the user with a see-thru view of the environment.
- the absorbance or transmittance of the microlouvered film is dependent on the angle of the light. Where steep angle light is absorbed and light at less of an angle is transmitted.
- the combiner with the microlouver film is angled at greater than 45 degrees to the optical axis of the image light (e.g. the combiner can be oriented at 50 degrees so the image light from the file lens is incident on the combiner at an oblique angle.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of a combiner element 602 at various angles when the combiner element 602 includes a holographic mirror.
- a mirrored surface reflects light at an angle equal to the angle that the light is incident to the mirrored surface.
- the combiner element be at 45 degrees, 602 a , if the light is presented vertically to the combiner so the light can be reflected horizontally towards the wearer's eye.
- the incident light can be presented at angles other than vertical to enable the mirror surface to be oriented at other than 45 degrees, but in all cases wherein a mirrored surface is employed, the incident angle equals the reflected angle.
- a holographic mirror combiner included in embodiments, can be made such that light is reflected at a different angle from the angle that the light is incident onto the holographic mirrored surface. This allows freedom to select the angle of the combiner element 602 b independent of the angle of the incident image light and the angle of the light reflected into the wearer's eye.
- the angle of the combiner element 602 b is greater than 45 degrees (shown in FIG. 7 ) as this allows a more laterally compact HWC design.
- the increased angle of the combiner element 602 b decreases the front to back width of the lower optical module 204 and may allow for a thinner HWC display (i.e. the furthest element from the wearer's eye can be closer to the wearer's face).
- FIG. 8 illustrates another embodiment of a lower optical module 204 .
- polarized image light provided by the upper optical module 202 , is directed into the lower optical module 204 .
- the image light reflects off a polarized mirror 804 and is directed to a focusing partially reflective mirror 802 , which is adapted to reflect the polarized light.
- An optical element such as a 1 ⁇ 4wave film located between the polarized mirror 804 and the partially reflective mirror 802 , is used to change the polarization state of the image light such that the light reflected by the partially reflective mirror 802 is transmitted by the polarized mirror 804 to present image light to the eye of the wearer.
- the user can also see through the polarized mirror 804 and the partially reflective mirror 802 to see the surrounding environment. As a result, the user perceives a combined image comprised of the displayed image light overlaid onto the see-thru view of the environment.
- FIG. 9 illustrates a system where the eye imaging camera 802 is mounted and angled such that the field of view of the eye imaging camera 802 is redirected toward the wearer's eye by the mirror pixels of the DLP 402 that are in the “off” state. In this way, the eye imaging camera 802 can be used to image the wearer's eye along the same optical axis as the displayed image that is presented to the wearer.
- image light that is presented to the wearer's eye illuminates the wearer's eye so that the eye can be imaged by the eye imaging camera 802 .
- the light reflected by the eye passes back though the optical train of the lower optical module 204 and a portion of the upper optical module to where the light is reflected by the “off” pixels of the DLP 402 toward the eye imaging camera 802 .
- the eye imaging camera may image the wearer's eye at a moment in time where there are enough “off” pixels to achieve the required eye image resolution.
- the eye imaging camera collects eye image information from “off” pixels over time and forms a time lapsed image.
- a modified image is presented to the user wherein enough “off” state pixels are included that the camera can obtain the desired resolution and brightness for imaging the wearer's eye and the eye image capture is synchronized with the presentation of the modified image.
- the eye imaging system may be used for security systems.
- the HWC may not allow access to the HWC or other system if the eye is not recognized (e.g. through eye characteristics including retina or iris characteristics, etc.).
- the HWC may be used to provide constant security access in some embodiments.
- the eye security confirmation may be a continuous, near-continuous, real-time, quasi real-time, periodic, etc. process so the wearer is effectively constantly being verified as known.
- the HWC may be worn and eye security tracked for access to other computer systems.
- the eye imaging system may be used for control of the HWC.
- a blink, wink, or particular eye movement may be used as a control mechanism for a software application operating on the HWC or associated device.
- the eye imaging system may be used in a process that determines how or when the HWC 102 delivers digitally displayed content to the wearer. For example, the eye imaging system may determine that the user is looking in a direction and then HWC may change the resolution in an area of the display or provide some content that is associated with something in the environment that the user may be looking at. Alternatively, the eye imaging system may identify different user's and change the displayed content or enabled features provided to the user. User's may be identified from a database of users eye characteristics either located on the HWC 102 or remotely located on the network 110 or on a server 112 .
- the HWC may identify a primary user or a group of primary users from eye characteristics wherein the primary user(s) are provided with an enhanced set of features and all other user's are provided with a different set of features.
- the HWC 102 uses identified eye characteristics to either enable features or not and eye characteristics need only be analyzed in comparison to a relatively small database of individual eye characteristics.
- FIG. 10 illustrates a light source that may be used in association with the upper optics module 202 (e.g. polarized light source if the light from the solid state light source is polarized), and light source 404 .
- the solid state light source 1002 may be projected into a backlighting optical system 1004 .
- the solid state light source 1002 may be one or more LEDs, laser diodes, OLEDs.
- the backlighting optical system 1004 includes an extended section with a length/distance ratio of greater than 3, wherein the light undergoes multiple reflections from the sidewalls to mix of homogenize the light as supplied by the solid state light source 1002 .
- the backlighting optical system 1004 also includes structures on the surface opposite (on the left side as shown in FIG. 10 ) to where the uniform light 1008 exits the backlight 1004 to change the direction of the light toward the DLP 302 and the reflective polarizer 310 or the DLP 402 and the TIR wedge 418 .
- the backlighting optical system 1004 may also include structures to collimate the uniform light 1008 to provide light to the DLP with a smaller angular distribution or narrower cone angle. Diffusers including elliptical diffusers can be used on the entrance or exit surfaces of the backlighting optical system to improve the uniformity of the uniform light 1008 in directions orthogonal to the optical axis of the uniform light 1008 .
- FIGS. 10 a and 10 b show illustrations of structures in backlight optical systems 1004 that can be used to change the direction of the light provided to the entrance face 1045 by the light source and then collimates the light in a direction lateral to the optical axis of the exiting uniform light 1008 .
- Structure 1060 includes an angled sawtooth pattern wherein the left edge of each sawtooth clips the steep angle rays of light thereby limiting the angle of the light being redirected. The steep surface at the right (as shown) of each sawtooth then redirects the light so that it reflects off the left angled surface of each sawtooth and is directed toward the exit surface 1040 .
- Structure 1050 includes a curved face on the left side (as shown) to focus the rays after they pass through the exit surface 1040 , thereby providing a mechanism for collimating the uniform light 1008 .

- the tristimulus notch filter 1102 has narrow band pass filters for three wavelengths, as indicated in FIG. 11 c in a transmission graph 1108 .
- the graph shown in FIG. 11 b , as 1104 illustrates an output of three different colored LEDs. One can see that the bandwidths of emission are narrow, but they have long tails.
- the tristimulus notch filter 1102 can be used in connection with such LEDs to provide a light source 1100 that emits narrow filtered wavelengths of light as shown in FIG. 11 d as the transmission graph 1110 . Wherein the clipping effects of the tristimulus notch filter 1102 can be seen to have cut the tails from the LED emission graph 1104 to provide narrower wavelength bands of light to the upper optical module 202 .
- the light source 1100 can be used in connection with a combiner 602 with a holographic mirror or tristimulus notch mirror to provide narrow bands of light that are reflected toward the wearer's eye with less waste light that does not get reflected by the combiner, thereby improving efficiency and reducing escaping light that can cause faceglow.

- Aspects of the present invention relate to head-worn computing (“HWC”) systems. HWC involves, in some instances, a system that mimics the appearance of head-worn glasses or sunglasses. The glasses may be a fully developed computing platform, such as including computer displays presented in each of the lenses of the glasses to the eyes of the user. In embodiments, the lenses and displays may be configured to allow a person wearing the glasses to see the environment through the lenses while also seeing, simultaneously, digital imagery, which forms an overlaid image that is perceived by the person as a digitally augmented image of the environment, or augmented reality (“AR”).
- HWC involves more than just placing a computing system on a person's head. The system may need to be designed as a lightweight, compact and fully functional computer display, such as wherein the computer display includes a high resolution digital display that provides a high level of emersion comprised of the displayed digital content and the see-through view of the environmental surroundings. User interfaces and control systems suited to the HWC device may be required that are unlike those used for a more conventional computer such as a laptop. For the HWC and associated systems to be most effective, the glasses may be equipped with sensors to determine environmental conditions, geographic location, relative positioning to other points of interest, objects identified by imaging and movement by the user or other users in a connected group, and the like. The HWC may then change the mode of operation to match the conditions, location, positioning, movements, and the like, in a method generally referred to as a contextually aware HWC. The glasses also may need to be connected, wirelessly or otherwise, to other systems either locally or through a network. Controlling the glasses may be achieved through the use of an external device, automatically through contextually gathered information, through user gestures captured by the glasses sensors, and the like. Each technique may be further refined depending on the software application being used in the glasses. The glasses may further be used to control or coordinate with external devices that are associated with the glasses.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , an overview of the HWCsystem 100 is presented. As shown, the HWCsystem 100 comprises a HWC 102, which in this instance is configured as glasses to be worn on the head with sensors such that the HWC 102 is aware of the objects and conditions in theenvironment 114. In this instance, the HWC 102 also receives and interprets control inputs such as gestures andmovements 116. The HWC 102 may communicate withexternal user interfaces 104. Theexternal user interfaces 104 may provide a physical user interface to take control instructions from a user of the HWC 102 and theexternal user interfaces 104 and the HWC 102 may communicate bi-directionally to affect the user's command and provide feedback to theexternal device 108. TheHWC 102 may also communicate bi-directionally with externally controlled or coordinatedlocal devices 108. For example, anexternal user interface 104 may be used in connection with theHWC 102 to control an externally controlled or coordinatedlocal device 108. The externally controlled or coordinatedlocal device 108 may provide feedback to theHWC 102 and a customized GUI may be presented in theHWC 102 based on the type of device or specifically identifieddevice 108. TheHWC 102 may also interact with remote devices andinformation sources 112 through anetwork connection 110. Again, theexternal user interface 104 may be used in connection with theHWC 102 to control or otherwise interact with any of theremote devices 108 andinformation sources 112 in a similar way as when theexternal user interfaces 104 are used to control or otherwise interact with the externally controlled or coordinatedlocal devices 108. Similarly,HWC 102 may interpret gestures 116 (e.g captured from forward, downward, upward, rearward facing sensors such as camera(s), range finders, IR sensors, etc.) or environmental conditions sensed in theenvironment 114 to control either local orremote devices - We will now describe each of the main elements depicted on
FIG. 1 in more detail; however, these descriptions are intended to provide general guidance and should not be construed as limiting. Additional description of each element may also be further described herein. - The
HWC 102 is a computing platform intended to be worn on a person's head. TheHWC 102 may take many different forms to fit many different functional requirements. In some situations, theHWC 102 will be designed in the form of conventional glasses. The glasses may or may not have active computer graphics displays. In situations where theHWC 102 has integrated computer displays the displays may be configured as see-through displays such that the digital imagery can be overlaid with respect to the user's view of theenvironment 114. There are a number of see-through optical designs that may be used, including ones that have a reflective display (e.g. LCoS, DLP), emissive displays (e.g. OLED, LED), hologram, TIR waveguides, and the like. In addition, the optical configuration may be monocular or binocular. It may also include vision corrective optical components. In embodiments, the optics may be packaged as contact lenses. In other embodiments, theHWC 102 may be in the form of a helmet with a see-through shield, sunglasses, safety glasses, goggles, a mask, fire helmet with see-through shield, police helmet with see through shield, military helmet with see-through shield, utility form customized to a certain work task (e.g. inventory control, logistics, repair, maintenance, etc.), and the like. - The
HWC 102 may also have a number of integrated computing facilities, such as an integrated processor, integrated power management, communication structures (e.g. cell net, WiFi, Bluetooth, local area connections, mesh connections, remote connections (e.g. client server, etc.)), and the like. TheHWC 102 may also have a number of positional awareness sensors, such as GPS, electronic compass, altimeter, tilt sensor, IMU, and the like. It may also have other sensors such as a camera, rangefinder, hyper-spectral camera, Geiger counter, microphone, spectral illumination detector, temperature sensor, chemical sensor, biologic sensor, moisture sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and the like. - The
HWC 102 may also have integrated control technologies. The integrated control technologies may be contextual based control, passive control, active control, user control, and the like. For example, theHWC 102 may have an integrated sensor (e.g. camera) that captures user hand or body gestures 116 such that the integrated processing system can interpret the gestures and generate control commands for theHWC 102. In another example, theHWC 102 may have sensors that detect movement (e.g. a nod, head shake, and the like) including accelerometers, gyros and other inertial measurements, where the integrated processor may interpret the movement and generate a control command in response. TheHWC 102 may also automatically control itself based on measured or perceived environmental conditions. For example, if it is bright in the environment theHWC 102 may increase the brightness or contrast of the displayed image. In embodiments, the integrated control technologies may be mounted on theHWC 102 such that a user can interact with it directly. For example, theHWC 102 may have a button(s), touch capacitive interface, and the like. - As described herein, the
HWC 102 may be in communication withexternal user interfaces 104. The external user interfaces may come in many different forms. For example, a cell phone screen may be adapted to take user input for control of an aspect of theHWC 102. The external user interface may be a dedicated UI, such as a keyboard, touch surface, button(s), joy stick, and the like. In embodiments, the external controller may be integrated into another device such as a ring, watch, bike, car, and the like. In each case, theexternal user interface 104 may include sensors (e.g. IMU, accelerometers, compass, altimeter, and the like) to provide additional input for controlling theHWD 104. - As described herein, the
HWC 102 may control or coordinate with otherlocal devices 108. Theexternal devices 108 may be an audio device, visual device, vehicle, cell phone, computer, and the like. For instance, the localexternal device 108 may be anotherHWC 102, where information may then be exchanged between theseparate HWCs 108. - Similar to the way the
HWC 102 may control or coordinate with local devices 106, theHWC 102 may control or coordinate withremote devices 112, such as theHWC 102 communicating with theremote devices 112 through anetwork 110. Again, the form of theremote device 112 may have many forms. Included in these forms is anotherHWC 102. For example, eachHWC 102 may communicate its GPS position such that all theHWCs 102 know where all ofHWC 102 are located. - DLP Optical Configurations

FIG. 2 illustrates aHWC 102 with an optical system that includes an upperoptical module 202 and a loweroptical module 204. While the upper and loweroptical modules upper module 202 includes a computer controlled display (e.g. LCoS, DLP, OLED, etc.) and image light delivery optics. In embodiments, the lower module includes eye delivery optics that are configured to receive the upper module's image light and deliver the image light to the eye of a wearer of the HWC. InFIG. 2 , it should be noted that while the upper and loweroptical modules -
FIG. 3 b illustrates an upperoptical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention. In this embodiment, the upperoptical module 202 includes a DLP computer operateddisplay 304 which includes pixels comprised of rotatable mirrors, polarizedlight source 302,¼wave retarder film 308,reflective polarizer 310 and afield lens 312. The polarizedlight source 302 provides substantially uniform light that is generally directed towards thereflective polarizer 310. The reflective polarizer reflects light of one polarization state (e.g. S polarized light) and transmits light of the other polarization state (e.g. P polarized light). The polarizedlight source 302 and thereflective polarizer 310 are oriented so that the polarized light from the polarizedlight source 302 reflected generally towards theDLP 304. The light then passes through the¼wave film 308 once before illuminating the pixels of theDLP 304 and then again after being reflected by the pixels of theDLP 304. In passing through the¼wave film 308 twice, the light is converted from one polarization state to the other polarization state (e.g. the light is converted from S to P polarized light). The light then passes through thereflective polarizer 310. In the event that the DLP pixel(s) are in the “on” state (i.e. the mirrors are positioned to reflect light back towards thefield lens 312, the “on” pixels reflect the light generally along the optical axis and into thefield lens 312. This light that is reflected by “on” pixels and which is directed generally along the optical axis of thefield lens 312 will be referred to asimage light 316. Theimage light 316 then passes through the field lens to be used by a loweroptical module 204. - The light that is provided by the polarized
light source 302, which is subsequently reflected by thereflective polarizer 310 before it reflects from theDLP 304, will generally be referred to as illumination light. The light that is reflected by the “off′ pixels of theDLP 304 is reflected at a different angle than the light reflected by the ‘on” pixels, so that the light from the “off” pixels is generally directed away from the optical axis of thefield lens 312 and toward the side of the upperoptical module 202 as shown inFIG. 3 . The light that is reflected by the “off” pixels of theDLP 304 will be referred to asdark state light 314. - The
DLP 304 operates as a computer controlled display and is generally thought of as a MEMs device. The DLP pixels are comprised of small mirrors that can be directed. The mirrors generally flip from one angle to another angle. The two angles are generally referred to as states. When light is used to illuminate the DLP the mirrors will reflect the light in a direction depending on the state. In embodiments herein, we generally refer to the two states as “on” and “off,” which is intended to depict the condition of a display pixel. “On” pixels will be seen by a viewer of the display as emitting light because the light is directed along the optical axis and into the field lens and the associated remainder of the display system. “Off” pixels will be seen by a viewer of the display as not emitting light because the light from these pixels is directed to the side of the optical housing and into a light dump where the light is absorbed. The pattern of “on” and “off” pixels produces image light that is perceived by a viewer of the display as a computer generated image. Full color images can be presented to a user by sequentially providing illumination light with complimentary colors such as red, green and blue. Where the sequence is presented in a recurring cycle that is faster than the user can perceive as separate images and as a result the user perceives a full color image comprised of the sum of the sequential images. Bright pixels in the image are provided by pixels that remain in the “on” state for the entire time of the cycle, while dimmer pixels in the image are provided by pixels that switch between the “on” state and “off” state within the time of the cycle. -
FIG. 3 a shows an illustration of a system for aDLP 304 in which the unpolarizedlight source 350 is pointed directly at theDLP 304. In this case, the angle required for the illumination light is such that thefield lens 352 must be positioned substantially distant from theDLP 304 to avoid the illumination light from being clipped by thefield lens 352. The large distance between thefield lens 352 and theDLP 304 along with the straight path of the dark state light 352, means that the light trap for the dark state light 352 is located at a substantial distance from the DLP. For these reasons, this configuration is larger in size compared to theupper optics module 202 of the preferred embodiments. - The configuration illustrated in
FIG. 3 b can be lightweight and compact such that it fits into a portion of a HWC. For example, theupper modules 202 illustrated herein can be physically adapted to mount in an upper frame of a HWC such that the image light can be directed into a loweroptical module 204 for presentation of digital content to a wearer's eye. The package of components that combine to generate the image light (i.e. the polarizedlight source 302,DLP 304,reflective polarizer 310 and ¼ wave film 308) is very light and is compact. The height of the system, excluding the field lens, may be less than 8 mm. The width (i.e. from front to back) may be less than 8 mm. The weight may be less than 2 grams. The compactness of this upperoptical module 202 allows for a compact mechanical design of the HWC and the light weight nature of these embodiments help make the HWC lightweight to provide for a HWC that is comfortable for a wearer of the HWC. - The configuration illustrated in
FIG. 3 b can produce sharp contrast, high brightness and deep blacks, especially when compared to LCD or LCoS displays used in HWC. The “on” and “off” states of the DLP provide for a strong differentiator in the light reflection path representing an “on” pixel and an “off” pixel. As will be discussed in more detail below, the dark state light from the “off” pixel reflections can be managed to reduce stray light in the display system to produce images with high contrast. -
FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of an upperoptical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention. This embodiment includes alight source 404, but in this case, the light source can provide unpolarized illumination light. The illumination light from thelight source 404 is directed into aTIR wedge 418 such that the illumination light is incident on an internal surface of the TIR wedge 418 (shown as the angled lower surface of theTRI wedge 418 inFIG. 4 ) at an angle that is beyond the critical angle as defined by Eqn 1. -
Critical angle=arc−sin(1/n) Eqn 1 - Where the critical angle is the angle beyond which the illumination light is reflected from the internal surface when the internal surface comprises an interface from a solid with a higher refractive index to air with a refractive index of 1 (e.g. for an interface of acrylic, with a refractive index of 1.5, to air, the critical angle is 41.8 degrees; for an interface of polycarbonate, with a refractive index of 1.59, to air the critical angle is 38.9 degrees). Consequently, the
TIR wedge 418 is associated with athin air gap 408 along the internal surface to create an interface between a solid with a higher refractive index and air. By choosing the angle of thelight source 404 relative to theDLP 402 in correspondence to the angle of the internal surface of theTIR wedge 418, illumination light is turned toward theDLP 402 at an angle suitable for providing image light as reflected from “on” pixels. Wherein, the illumination light is provided to theDLP 402 at approximately twice the angle of the pixel mirrors in theDLP 402 that are in the “on” state, such that after reflecting from the pixel mirrors, the image light is directed generally along the optical axis of the field lens. Depending on the state of the DLP pixels, the illumination light from “on” pixels may be reflected as image light 414 which is directed towards a field lens and a loweroptical module 204, while illumination light reflected from “off” pixels (dark state light) is directed in a separate direction 410, which may be trapped and not used for the image that is ultimately presented to the wearer's eye. - The light trap may be located along the optical axis defined by the direction 410 and in the side of the housing, with the function of absorbing the dark state light. To this end, the light trap may be comprised of an area outside of the cone of image light from the “on” pixels. The light trap is typically madeup of materials that absorb light including coatings of black paints or other light absorbing to prevent light scattering from the dark state light degrading the image perceived by the user. In addition, the light trap may be recessed into the wall of the housing or include masks or guards to block scattered light and prevent the light trap from being viewed adjacent to the displayed image.
- The embodiment of
FIG. 4 also includes acorrective wedge 420 to correct the effect of refraction of theimage light 414 as it exits theTIR wedge 418. By including thecorrective wedge 420 and providing a thin air gap 408 (e.g. 25 micron), the image light from the “on” pixels can be maintained generally in a direction along the optical axis of the field lens so it passes into the field lens and the loweroptical module 204. As shown inFIG. 4 , the image light from the “on” pixels exits thecorrective wedge 420 generally perpendicular to the surface of thecorrective wedge 420 while the dark state light exits at an oblique angle. As a result, the direction of the image light from the “on” pixels is largely unaffected by refraction as it exits from the surface of thecorrective wedge 420. In contrast, the dark state light is substantially changed in direction by refraction when the dark state light exits thecorrective wedge 420. - The embodiment illustrated in
FIG. 4 has the similar advantages of those discussed in connection with the embodiment ofFIG. 3 b. The dimensions and weight of theupper module 202 depicted inFIG. 4 may be approximately 8×8 mm with a weight of less than 3 grams. A difference in overall performance between the configuration illustrated inFIG. 3 b and the configuration illustrated inFIG. 4 is that the embodiment ofFIG. 4 doesn't require the use of polarized light as supplied by thelight source 404. This can be an advantage in some situations as will be discussed in more detail below (e.g. increased see-through transparency of the HWC optics from the user's perspective). An addition advantage of the embodiment ofFIG. 4 compared to the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 b is that the dark state light (shown as DLP off light 410) is directed at a steeper angle away from the optical axis due to the added refraction encountered when the dark state light exits thecorrective wedge 420. This steeper angle of the dark state light allows for the light trap to be positioned closer to theDLP 402 so that the overall size of theupper module 202 can be reduced. The light trap can also be made larger since the light trap doesn't interfere with the field lens, thereby the efficiency of the light trap can be increased and as a result, stray light can be reduced and the contrast of the image perceived by the user can be increased.FIG. 4 a illustrates the embodiment described in connection withFIG. 4 with the addition of more details on light angles at the various surfaces. -
FIG. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of an upperoptical module 202 in accordance with the principles of the present invention. As with the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 , the embodiment shown inFIG. 5 does not require the use of polarized light. Theoptical module 202 depicted inFIG. 5 is similar to that presented in connection withFIG. 4 ; however, the embodiment ofFIG. 5 includes an offlight redirection wedge 502. As can be seen from the illustration, the offlight redirection wedge 502 allows theimage light 414 to continue generally along the optical axis toward the field lens and into the lower optical module 204 (as illustrated). However, theoff light 504 is redirected substantially toward the side of thecorrective wedge 420 where it passes into the light trap. This configuration may allow further height compactness in the HWC because the light trap (not illustrated) that is intended to absorb theoff light 504 can be positioned laterally adjacent the upperoptical module 202 as opposed to below it. In the embodiment depicted inFIG. 5 there is a thin air gap between theTIR wedge 418 and the corrective wedge 420 (similar to the embodiment ofFIG. 4 ). There is also a thin air gap between thecorrective wedge 420 and the offlight redirection wedge 502. There may be HWC mechanical configurations that warrant the positioning of a light trap for the dark state light elsewhere and the illustration depicted inFIG. 5 should be considered illustrative of the concept that the off light can be redirected to create compactness of the overall HWC.FIG. 5 a illustrates the embodiment described in connection withFIG. 5 with the addition of more details on light angles at the various surfaces. -
FIG. 6 illustrates a combination of an upperoptical module 202 with a loweroptical module 204. In this embodiment, the image light projected from the upperoptical module 202 may or may not be polarized. The image light is reflected off aflat combiner element 602 such that it is directed towards the user's eye. Wherein, thecombiner element 602 is a partial mirror that reflects image light while transmitting a substantial portion of light from the environment so the user can look through the combiner element and see the environment surrounding the HWC. - The
combiner 602 may include a holographic pattern, to form a holographic mirror. If a monochrome image is desired, there may be a single wavelength reflection design for the holographic pattern on the surface of thecombiner 602. If the intention is to have multiple colors reflected from the surface of thecombiner 602, a multiple wavelength holographic mirror maybe included on the combiner surface. For example, in a three color embodiment, where red, green and blue pixels are generated in the image light, the holographic mirror may be reflective to wavelengths matching the wavelengths of the red, green and blue light provided by the light source. This configuration can be used as a wavelength specific mirror where pre-determined wavelengths of light from the image light are reflected to the user's eye. This configuration may also be made such that substantially all other wavelengths in the visible pass through thecombiner element 602 so the user has a substantially clear view of the surroundings when looking through thecombiner element 602. The transparency between the user's eye and the surrounding may be approximately 80% when using a combiner that is a holographic mirror. Wherein holographic mirrors can be made using lasers to produce interference patterns in the holographic material of the combiner where the wavelengths of the lasers correspond to the wavelengths of light that are subsequently reflected by the holographic mirror. - In another embodiment, the
combiner element 602 may include a notch mirror comprised of a multilayer coated substrate wherein the coating is designed to substantially reflect the wavelengths of light provided by the light source and substantially transmit the remaining wavelengths in the visible spectrum. For example, in the case where red, green and blue light is provided by the light source to enable full color images to be provided to the user, the notch mirror is a tristimulus notch mirror wherein the multilayer coating is designed to reflect narrow bands of red, green and blue light that are matched to the what is provided by the light source and the remaining visible wavelengths are transmitted to enable a view of the environment through the combiner. In another example where monochrome images are provide to the user, the notch mirror is designed to reflect a narrow band of light that is matched to the wavelengths of light provided by the light source while transmitting the remaining visible wavelengths to enable a see-thru view of the environment. Thecombiner 602 with the notch mirror would operate, from the user's perspective, in a manner similar to the combiner that includes a holographic pattern on thecombiner element 602. The combiner, with the tristimulus notch mirror, would reflect the “on” pixels to the eye because of the match between the reflective wavelengths of the notch mirror and the color of the image light, and the wearer would be able to see with high clarity the surroundings. The transparency between the user's eye and the surrounding may be approximately 80% when using the tristimulus notch mirror. In addition, the image provided by the upperoptical module 202 with the notch mirror combiner can provide higher contrast images than the holographic mirror combiner due to less scattering of the imaging light by the combiner. - Light can escape through the
combiner 602 and may produce face glow as the light is generally directed downward onto the cheek of the user. When using a holographic mirror combiner or a tristimulus notch mirror combiner, the escaping light can be trapped to avoid face glow. In embodiments, if the image light is polarized before the combiner, a linear polarizer can be laminated, or otherwise associated, to the combiner, with the transmission axis of the polarizer oriented relative to the polarized image light so that any escaping image light is absorbed by the polarizer. In embodiments, the image light would be polarized to provide S polarized light to the combiner for better reflection. As a result, the linear polarizer on the combiner would be oriented to absorb S polarized light and pass P polarized light. This provides the preferred orientation of polarized sunglasses as well. - If the image light is unpolarized, a microlouvered film such as a privacy filter can be used to absorb the escaping image light while providing the user with a see-thru view of the environment. In this case, the absorbance or transmittance of the microlouvered film is dependent on the angle of the light. Where steep angle light is absorbed and light at less of an angle is transmitted. For this reason, in an embodiment, the combiner with the microlouver film is angled at greater than 45 degrees to the optical axis of the image light (e.g. the combiner can be oriented at 50 degrees so the image light from the file lens is incident on the combiner at an oblique angle.
-
FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of acombiner element 602 at various angles when thecombiner element 602 includes a holographic mirror. Normally, a mirrored surface reflects light at an angle equal to the angle that the light is incident to the mirrored surface. Typically this necessitates that the combiner element be at 45 degrees, 602 a, if the light is presented vertically to the combiner so the light can be reflected horizontally towards the wearer's eye. In embodiments, the incident light can be presented at angles other than vertical to enable the mirror surface to be oriented at other than 45 degrees, but in all cases wherein a mirrored surface is employed, the incident angle equals the reflected angle. As a result, increasing the angle of thecombiner 602 a requires that the incident image light be presented to thecombiner 602 a at a different angle which positions the upperoptical module 202 to the left of the combiner as shown inFIG. 7 . In contrast, a holographic mirror combiner, included in embodiments, can be made such that light is reflected at a different angle from the angle that the light is incident onto the holographic mirrored surface. This allows freedom to select the angle of thecombiner element 602 b independent of the angle of the incident image light and the angle of the light reflected into the wearer's eye. In embodiments, the angle of thecombiner element 602 b is greater than 45 degrees (shown inFIG. 7 ) as this allows a more laterally compact HWC design. The increased angle of thecombiner element 602 b decreases the front to back width of the loweroptical module 204 and may allow for a thinner HWC display (i.e. the furthest element from the wearer's eye can be closer to the wearer's face). -
FIG. 8 illustrates another embodiment of a loweroptical module 204. In this embodiment, polarized image light provided by the upperoptical module 202, is directed into the loweroptical module 204. The image light reflects off apolarized mirror 804 and is directed to a focusing partiallyreflective mirror 802, which is adapted to reflect the polarized light. An optical element such as a ¼wave film located between thepolarized mirror 804 and the partiallyreflective mirror 802, is used to change the polarization state of the image light such that the light reflected by the partiallyreflective mirror 802 is transmitted by thepolarized mirror 804 to present image light to the eye of the wearer. The user can also see through thepolarized mirror 804 and the partiallyreflective mirror 802 to see the surrounding environment. As a result, the user perceives a combined image comprised of the displayed image light overlaid onto the see-thru view of the environment. - Another aspect of the present invention relates to eye imaging. In embodiments, a camera is used in connection with an upper
optical module 202 such that the wearer's eye can be imaged using pixels in the “off” state on the DLP.FIG. 9 illustrates a system where theeye imaging camera 802 is mounted and angled such that the field of view of theeye imaging camera 802 is redirected toward the wearer's eye by the mirror pixels of theDLP 402 that are in the “off” state. In this way, theeye imaging camera 802 can be used to image the wearer's eye along the same optical axis as the displayed image that is presented to the wearer. Wherein, image light that is presented to the wearer's eye illuminates the wearer's eye so that the eye can be imaged by theeye imaging camera 802. In the process, the light reflected by the eye passes back though the optical train of the loweroptical module 204 and a portion of the upper optical module to where the light is reflected by the “off” pixels of theDLP 402 toward theeye imaging camera 802. - In embodiments, the eye imaging camera may image the wearer's eye at a moment in time where there are enough “off” pixels to achieve the required eye image resolution. In another embodiment, the eye imaging camera collects eye image information from “off” pixels over time and forms a time lapsed image. In another embodiment, a modified image is presented to the user wherein enough “off” state pixels are included that the camera can obtain the desired resolution and brightness for imaging the wearer's eye and the eye image capture is synchronized with the presentation of the modified image.
- The eye imaging system may be used for security systems. The HWC may not allow access to the HWC or other system if the eye is not recognized (e.g. through eye characteristics including retina or iris characteristics, etc.). The HWC may be used to provide constant security access in some embodiments. For example, the eye security confirmation may be a continuous, near-continuous, real-time, quasi real-time, periodic, etc. process so the wearer is effectively constantly being verified as known. In embodiments, the HWC may be worn and eye security tracked for access to other computer systems.
- The eye imaging system may be used for control of the HWC. For example, a blink, wink, or particular eye movement may be used as a control mechanism for a software application operating on the HWC or associated device.
- The eye imaging system may be used in a process that determines how or when the
HWC 102 delivers digitally displayed content to the wearer. For example, the eye imaging system may determine that the user is looking in a direction and then HWC may change the resolution in an area of the display or provide some content that is associated with something in the environment that the user may be looking at. Alternatively, the eye imaging system may identify different user's and change the displayed content or enabled features provided to the user. User's may be identified from a database of users eye characteristics either located on theHWC 102 or remotely located on thenetwork 110 or on aserver 112. In addition, the HWC may identify a primary user or a group of primary users from eye characteristics wherein the primary user(s) are provided with an enhanced set of features and all other user's are provided with a different set of features. Thus in this use case, theHWC 102 uses identified eye characteristics to either enable features or not and eye characteristics need only be analyzed in comparison to a relatively small database of individual eye characteristics. -
FIG. 10 illustrates a light source that may be used in association with the upper optics module 202 (e.g. polarized light source if the light from the solid state light source is polarized), andlight source 404. In embodiments, to provide a uniform surface of light 1008 to be directed towards the DLP of the upper optical module, either directly or indirectly, the solidstate light source 1002 may be projected into a backlightingoptical system 1004. The solidstate light source 1002 may be one or more LEDs, laser diodes, OLEDs. In embodiments, the backlightingoptical system 1004 includes an extended section with a length/distance ratio of greater than 3, wherein the light undergoes multiple reflections from the sidewalls to mix of homogenize the light as supplied by the solidstate light source 1002. The backlightingoptical system 1004 also includes structures on the surface opposite (on the left side as shown inFIG. 10 ) to where the uniform light 1008 exits thebacklight 1004 to change the direction of the light toward theDLP 302 and thereflective polarizer 310 or theDLP 402 and theTIR wedge 418. The backlightingoptical system 1004 may also include structures to collimate the uniform light 1008 to provide light to the DLP with a smaller angular distribution or narrower cone angle. Diffusers including elliptical diffusers can be used on the entrance or exit surfaces of the backlighting optical system to improve the uniformity of the uniform light 1008 in directions orthogonal to the optical axis of theuniform light 1008. -
FIGS. 10 a and 10 b show illustrations of structures in backlightoptical systems 1004 that can be used to change the direction of the light provided to theentrance face 1045 by the light source and then collimates the light in a direction lateral to the optical axis of the exitinguniform light 1008.Structure 1060 includes an angled sawtooth pattern wherein the left edge of each sawtooth clips the steep angle rays of light thereby limiting the angle of the light being redirected. The steep surface at the right (as shown) of each sawtooth then redirects the light so that it reflects off the left angled surface of each sawtooth and is directed toward theexit surface 1040.Structure 1050 includes a curved face on the left side (as shown) to focus the rays after they pass through theexit surface 1040, thereby providing a mechanism for collimating theuniform light 1008. -
FIG. 11 a illustrates alight source 1100 that may be used in association with theupper optics module 202. In embodiments, thelight source 1100 may provide light to a backlightingoptical system 1004 as described above in connection withFIG. 10 . In embodiments, thelight source 1100 includes atristimulus notch filter 1102. Thetristimulus notch filter 1102 has narrow band pass filters for three wavelengths, as indicated inFIG. 11 c in atransmission graph 1108. The graph shown inFIG. 11 b, as 1104 illustrates an output of three different colored LEDs. One can see that the bandwidths of emission are narrow, but they have long tails. Thetristimulus notch filter 1102 can be used in connection with such LEDs to provide alight source 1100 that emits narrow filtered wavelengths of light as shown inFIG. 11 d as the transmission graph 1110. Wherein the clipping effects of thetristimulus notch filter 1102 can be seen to have cut the tails from theLED emission graph 1104 to provide narrower wavelength bands of light to the upperoptical module 202. Thelight source 1100 can be used in connection with acombiner 602 with a holographic mirror or tristimulus notch mirror to provide narrow bands of light that are reflected toward the wearer's eye with less waste light that does not get reflected by the combiner, thereby improving efficiency and reducing escaping light that can cause faceglow. -
FIG. 12 a illustrates anotherlight source 1200 that may be used in association with theupper optics module 202. In embodiments, thelight source 1200 may provide light to a backlightingoptical system 1004 as described above in connection withFIG. 10 . In embodiments, thelight source 1200 includes a quantumdot cover glass 1202. Where the quantum dots absorb light of a shorter wavelength and emit light of a longer wavelength (FIG. 12 b shows an example wherein aUV spectrum 1202 applied to a quantum dot results in the quantum dot emitting a narrow band shown as a PL spectrum 1204) that is dependent on the material makeup and size of the quantum dot. As a result, quantum dots in the quantumdot cover glass 1202 can be tailored to provide one or more bands of narrow bandwidth light (e.g. red, green and blue emissions dependent on the different quantum dots included as illustrated in the graph shown inFIG. 12 c where three different quantum dots are used. In embodiments, the LED driver light emits UV light, deep blue or blue light. For sequential illumination of different colors, multiplelight sources 1200 would be used where eachlight source 1200 would include a quantumdot cover glass 1202 with a quantum dot selected to emit at one of the desired colors. Thelight source 1100 can be used in connection with acombiner 602 with a holographic mirror or tristimulus notch mirror to provide narrow transmission bands of light that are reflected toward the wearer's eye with less waste light that does not get reflected. - Although embodiments of HWC have been described in language specific to features, systems, computer processes and/or methods, the appended claims are not necessarily limited to the specific features, systems, computer processes and/or methods described. Rather, the specific features, systems, computer processes and/or and methods are disclosed as non-limited example implementations of HWC. All documents referenced herein are hereby incorporated by reference.
