  • Appl. No: 17/792383
  • Application Filed: January 01, 2021
  • Claim: 1. An apparatus comprising: at least one waveguide having an in-coupler; a first display configured to generate a first image and a second display configured to generate a second image; and a lens system configured to direct the first image and the second image onto the in-coupler; wherein the in-coupler is configured to use different diffractive orders to couple the first image into the waveguide and to couple the second image into the waveguide.
  • Claim: 2. (canceled)
  • Claim: 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the lens system has an optical axis, and the first display and the second display are arranged on opposite sides of the optical axis.
  • Claim: 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the in-coupler is configured to couple the first image into the waveguide using a positive diffractive order and to couple the second image into the waveguide using a negative diffractive order.
  • Claim: 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the in-coupler is configured to couple at least one of the first image and the second image into the waveguide using a diffractive order having an absolute value higher than one.
  • Claim: 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the lens system has an optical axis, and the optical axis does not intersect any display of the apparatus.
  • Claim: 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the waveguide further comprises an out-coupler and at least one eye pupil expander along at least a first optical path from the in-coupler to the out-coupler.
  • Claim: 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the waveguide further comprises an out-coupler and a first and a second eye pupil expander along a first optical path from the in-coupler to the out-coupler, the first and second eye pupil expanders being configured to guide the first image to the out-coupler.
  • Claim: 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the waveguide further comprises a third and a fourth eye pupil expander along a second optical path from the in-coupler to the out-coupler, the third and fourth eye pupil expanders being configured to guide the second image to the out-coupler.
  • Claim: 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein a grating pitch Λe of at least one of the eye pupil expanders is determined as follows: [mathematical expression included] where ϕK is half of the deviation angle, [mathematical expression included] where n2 is the refractive index of the material of the waveguide, θdg is a maximum grazing incident angle inside the waveguide, M is the diffraction order, λ is the wavelength of the light coupled into the waveguide, and Δϕ is the maximum angle of the deviated light given by: [mathematical expression included] [mathematical expression included] [mathematical expression included] [mathematical expression included] [mathematical expression included]
  • Claim: 11. A method comprising: generating a first image on a first display and a second image on a second display; and using a lens system, directing the first image and the second image onto an in-coupler of a waveguide; wherein the in-coupler is configured to use different diffractive orders to couple the first image into the waveguide and to couple the second image into the waveguide.
  • Claim: 12. (canceled)
  • Claim: 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the lens system has an optical axis, and the first display and the second display are arranged on opposite sides of the optical axis.
  • Claim: 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising, using the in-coupler, coupling the first image into the waveguide using a positive diffractive order and coupling the second image into the waveguide using a negative diffractive order.
  • Claim: 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the in-coupler is configured to couple at least one of the first image and the second image into the waveguide using a diffractive order having an absolute value higher than one.
  • Claim: 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the lens system has an optical axis, and the optical axis does not intersect any display of the apparatus.
  • Claim: 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the waveguide further comprises an out-coupler, at least a first eye pupil expander configured to guide the first image to the out-coupler, and at least a second eye pupil expander configured to guide the second image to the out-coupler.
  • Claim: 18. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first and second displays are separated by a central space without a display.
  • Current International Class: 02; 21; 02
