Systems using eye mounted displays

摘要

A display device is mounted on and/or inside the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. The projected light propagates through the pupil but does not fill the entire pupil. In this way, multiple sub-displays can project their light onto the relevant portion of the retina. Moving from the pupil to the cornea, the projection of the pupil onto the cornea will be referred to as the corneal aperture. The projected light propagates through less than the full corneal aperture. The sub-displays use spatial multiplexing at the corneal surface. Various electronic devices interface to the eye mounted display.

主权项

1. An eye mounted display (EMD)-aware device comprising:
an electronic device; and an interface between the electronic device and the eye mounted display (EMD), for transmitting image data from the electronic device to the EMD, wherein the EMD is attachable to a user's eye, and the EMD projects light onto a user's retina to form a visual sensation of an image, the EMD comprising a plurality of sub-displays attached to the user's eye, each sub-display projecting light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display, each such projection of light propagating through a partial corneal aperture for that retinal position, and sub-displays that project light to portions of the retina closer to the fovea project light through partial corneal apertures that are larger than the partial corneal apertures through which sub-displays project light to portions of the retina farther away from the fovea.
