PRECISION ADJUSTMENT OF PROJECTED DIGITAL INFORMATION WITHIN A DAYLIGHT OPTICAL DEVICE

摘要

An optical device includes a digital visual data system, a forward optical assembly, and an elevation manual adjustment and a windage manual adjustment. The elevation manual adjustment and the windage manual adjustment are configured to adjust a position of a movable optical assembly containing an optical merging assembly independently moveable in relation to the forward optical assembly. The optical merging assembly includes a first wedge-shaped component receiving optical data from the forward optical assembly and a second wedge-shaped component adjacent to the first wedge-shaped component that receives and transmits the optical data from the first wedge-shaped component through the second wedge-shaped component toward an eyepiece assembly and that reflects digital visual data from a micro-display toward the eyepiece assembly to present a merged data view when viewed through the eyepiece assembly.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
activating a digital visual data system associated with an optical device; receiving optical data from a forward optical assembly of the optical device at an optical merging assembly mechanically coupled to a movable optical assembly independently movable in relation to the forward optical assembly; receiving digital visual data at the optical merging assembly from the digital visual data system; transmitting merged received optical data and digital visual data to an eyepiece assembly for viewing; and manually adjusting a movable optical assembly containing the optical merging assembly in relation to the received optical data from the forward optical assembly.
