OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR NEAR-EYE DISPLAY

摘要

Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to compact optical systems for incorporation into near-eye display devices. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a near-eye display system may comprising a light source, a first polarizing beam splitting surface configured to receive light from the light source, a minor configured to reflect light passed by the first polarizing beam splitting surface, and a quarter wave plate positioned between the first polarizing beam splitting surface and the mirror. The near-eye display system may further include a second polarizing beam splitting surface positioned at an angle relative to the first polarizing beam splitting surface and a microdisplay configured to produce an image via light received from the second polarizing beam splitting surface.
