Description
- This invention relates to a display systems. More specifically, this invention relates a head mounded display systems for providing hands-free visual data.
- There are a number of situation where it is important for a person to receive visual information or data, such as time, media information (weather, news, advertisement etc) and/or geographical information while performing a task, such a driving, riding a bicycle, riding a motorcycle or performing athletics. In such cases, it is preferable that the person can view such information or data information with manual distraction while performing the task.
- A number of display devices have been developed to provide visual information or data, such as described above. For example, there are wrist-mounted watches or stopwatch that display time, distance traveled, pulse rates and/or geographical data. There are also in-dash or dash-top mounted global position systems that display geographical information and directions. All of these devices required that the user significantly change his or her line-of sight to view the displayed information or data.
- To address these aforementioned shortcomings, head mounted display systems have been developed that provide visual data or information close to the user's line-of-sight. However, a number of these display systems also impede the user's ability to see clearly or to see what is directly in front of the user's line-of-sight.
- What is needed is a display system for and method of providing visual information or data that minimizes the need for the user to alter his or her line-of-sight and which minimally obstructs the user's normal field of view.
- The present invention is directed to a display system. The display system includes means for mounting one or more lenses (hereafter lens) in front of a user's eye or eyes. The means for mounting the lens in front of the user's eye or eyes is a frame structure or support structure. The frame structure or support structure is fashioned as a pair of goggles, a pair eye glasses, a helmet or any other suitable head gear that includes a strap, arms, a shell or other suitable structure for securing to the user's head with the lens positioned in front of the user's eye or eyes, such as describe below.
- The lens includes a reflective region and a transparent region. The frame structure or support structure holds the lens, such that the user can visually see both the reflective region and the transparent region simultaneously. Preferably, the transparent region of the lens is in view or in a “line-of-sight” when the user's gaze is straight forward and/or downward and the reflective region of the lens is in view or in the “line-of-sight” when the user's gaze is elevated or upward.
- In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, the display system includes a micro-image projector unit for transmitting and projecting an image directly onto the reflective region of the lens. The micro-image projector unit includes an LCD for generating the image and projecting the images onto the reflective region of the lens.
- In further embodiments of the invention, the micro-image projector unit includes a processor unit. The processor unit includes, for example, microprocessor and a radio receiver for receiving dynamic wireless media data from a transmitting device. The transmitting device is another head mountable display system, such a described above, a computer, a cellular phone, a global position device, any other suitable wireless device or combination of devices. Alternatively, the micro-image projector unit communicates with a transmitting device via a cable that electrical couples the micro-image projector unit to the transmitting device through any suitable number of electrical connectors or plugs. Again, the transmitting device is another head mountable display system, a computer, a cellular phone, a global position device, any other suitable wireless device or combination of devices.
- In operation the micro-processor generates display signals that are transmitted to the reflective region of the lens by the LCD unit. Alternatively, the radio receiver receives dynamic wireless media data from a transmitting device, the dynamic wireless media data is then processed by the micro-processor, which generates display signals that are transmitted to the reflective region of the lens by the LCD unit.
- In accordance with further embodiments of the invention, the display system includes an attachment means for detachably coupling the micro-image projector unit to the frame structure or support structure. The micro-image projector unit, in accordance with these embodiments, includes one or more optical elements, including but not limited to one or more mirrors and/or one or more lenses. For example, the micro-image projector unit includes a concave mirror for reflecting the images from the LCD unit onto the reflective region of the lens. In accordance with still further embodiments of the invention, the display system includes means for adjusting and positioning the image projected onto the reflective region of the lens. The means for adjusting and positioning the image projected onto the reflective region of the lens is a swivel structure, a hinge structure, a living hinge structure, a bendable structure or any there suitable structure that can be moved and which is coupled to the LCD dismay unit, the one or more optical elements, the frame structure or support structure or any combination thereof.
