USING A PLURALITY OF STACKED WAVEGUIDES FOR AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAY

摘要

Configurations are disclosed for presenting virtual reality and augmented reality experiences to users. The system may comprise an image-generating source to provide one or more frames of image data in a time-sequential manner, a light modulator configured to transmit light associated with the one or more frames of image data, a substrate to direct image information to a user's eye, wherein the substrate houses a plurality of reflectors, a first reflector of the plurality of reflectors to reflect transmitted light associated with a first frame of image data at a first angle to the user's eye, and a second reflector to reflect transmitted light associated with a second frame of the image data at a second angle to the user's eye.

1. A system for displaying virtual content to a user, comprising:
a plurality of waveguides to receive light rays associated with image data and to transmit the light rays toward the user's eyes, wherein the plurality of waveguides are stacked in a direction facing the user's eye; and a first lens coupled to a first waveguide of the plurality of waveguides to modify light rays transmitted from the first waveguide, thereby delivering light rays having a first wavefront curvature; and a second lens coupled to a second waveguide of the plurality of waveguides to modify light rays transmitted from the second waveguide, thereby delivering light rays having a second wavefront curvature, wherein the first lens coupled to the first waveguide and the second lens coupled to the second waveguide are stacked horizontally in a direction facing the user's eye.
