Abstract: An eyepiece for a head mounted display includes an illumination module, an end reflector, a viewing region, and a polarization rotator. The illumination module provides CGI light along a forward propagation path within the eyepiece. The end reflector is disposed at an opposite end of the eyepiece from the illumination module to reflect the CGI light back along a reverse propagation path within the eyepiece. The viewing is disposed between the illumination module and the end reflector and includes an out-coupling polarizing beam splitter ("PBS"). The out- coupling PBS passes the CGI light traveling along the forward propagation path and redirects the CGI light traveling along the reverse propagation path out of an eye- ward side of the eyepiece. The polarization rotator is disposed in the forward and reverse propagation paths between the out-coupling PBS and the end reflector.

Abstract: An optical system includes a display panel, an image former, a viewing window, a proximal beam splitter, and a distal beam splitter. The display panel is configured to generate a light pattern. The image former is configured to form a virtual image from the light pattern generated by the display panel. The viewing window is configured to allow outside light in from outside of the optical system. The virtual image and the outside light are viewable along a viewing axis extending through the proximal beam splitter. The distal beam splitter is optically coupled to the display panel and the proximal beam splitter and has a beam-splitting interface in a plane that is parallel to the viewing axis. A camera may also be optically coupled to the distal beam splitter so as to be able to receive a portion of the outside light that is viewable along the viewing axis.

Abstract: A technique for adaptive brightness control of an eyepiece of a head mounted display ("HMD") includes displaying a computer generated image ("CGI") to an eye of a user from a viewing region of the eyepiece of the HMD. Image data is captured from an ambient environment surrounding the HMD. A brightness value is calculated for the ambient environment based at least in part upon the image data. A bias power setting is determined based at least in part upon the brightness value. The bias power setting is applied to an illumination source for generating the CGI and a brightness level of the CGI displayed to the eye of the user is controlled with the bias power setting.

Abstract: An optical apparatus includes an image source, a scanning mirror, an actuator, and a scanning controller. The image source outputs an image by simultaneously projecting a two-dimensional array of image pixels representing a whole portion of the image. The scanning mirror is positioned in an optical path of the image to reflect the image. The actuator is coupled to the scanning mirror to selectively adjust the scanning mirror about at least one axis. The scanning controller is coupled to the actuator to control a position of the scanning mirror about the at least one axis. The scanning controller includes logic to continuously and repetitiously adjust the position of the scanning mirror to cause the image to be scanned over an eyebox area that is larger than the whole portion of the image.
