Abstract:
The present invention provides a projection display (10) for projecting a color image to a viewer (12) overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the display. The display comprises an image generator (16) for generating image bearing chromatic light for injection into a waveguide assembly (28) at a first range of field angles (44) and a second range of field angles (46). The waveguide assembly comprises a first waveguide (30) having a first input diffraction region (32) arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the first range of field angles into the first waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection; and a second waveguide (40) having a second input diffraction region (42) arranged to couple image bearing chromatic light in the second range of field angles into the second waveguide to propagate by total internal reflection. The first and second waveguides have first and second output diffraction regions (48, 50) arranged to output image bearing chromatic light from the respective waveguides for projecting a color image in the first and second range of field angles to a viewer overlaid on a real world scene viewed through the waveguide assembly.
