Abstract

Un composant optique à trajet plié pouvant être utilisé comme lentille oculaire dans un affichage proche de l'œil est divulgué. Le composant optique à trajet plié comprend une cavité formée par une paire de polariseurs réfléchissants incurvés coaxiaux espacés, et un réflecteur partiel dans la cavité pour diviser un faisceau de lumière incidente pour se propager le long de deux trajets optiques se terminant au niveau d'une pupille de sortie du composant optique. Chaque trajet optique comprend une réflexion provenant de l'un des polariseurs réfléchissants et une transmission à travers l'autre des polariseurs réfléchissants.
