- Perera U.S. Patent No. 4,867,551
- Perera describes a display mounted on eyeglasses, the limitation of which is the high degree of occlusion of the user' s field of view beyond the display, and the use of non-axial optics that introduces distortion.
- Other companies, such as VirtualVision provide displays that are suspended by a cable, gooseneck fixture or other mechanical support in front of one or both of the user's eyes.
- students at the MIT Media Laboratory have been mounting displays from Reflection Technology on eyewear, in order to provide a computer display in a mobile fashion. These approaches also highly limit the user' s view of the surroundings .
- head-mounted and helmet-mounted display systems are based on miniature displays having a diagonal dimension of 4 cm or less.
- the display systems that use such miniature displays must provide a lens near the eye for magnification, and to make possible comfortable viewing at near distances.
- Most prior art head-mounted systems also place the display (for example a miniature liquid crystal flat panel display) near the eye as well, which requires both a support fixture for the eyepiece, and a conduit for electrical cables to the display.
- These components wires, liquid crystal display, illumination source and any other required circuits
- the illumination source accounts for a large amount of the volume of the eyepiece .
- This invention comprises a new approach to a light weight, compact head-mounted display system that combines an image relay system and mechanical support with a simple mounting system that can be applied to eyeglasses or other head gear.
- the invention involves mounting of a display, such as a liquid crystal display, against an eyepiece at the end of a clear supporting structure, with illumination provided through a transparent opto-mechanical support fixture that suspends the eyepiece near the eye.
- the opto-mechanical support fixture may be like that described in U.S. Patent No. 6,023,372, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- the invention involves mounting of the liquid crystal display against an eyepiece with a visually minimal opaque mechanical support, and with the illumination provided through free space.
- the device is particularly suitable for use as an interface to computers, personal digital assistants, and cellular telephones .
- the invention provides a compact, head-mountable display device for transmitting an image to a user's eye.
- the display device includes a support comprising an elongated member configured to allow passage of ambient light across a direction of elongation of the elongated member to a user's eye.
- a display such as an LCD, is supported by the support and is operative to provide an image.
- An eyepiece assembly is supported by the support fixture in proximity to the display to receive the image from the display and to direct the image to the user's eye.
- the support also defines an illumination path along the elongated member, and the display is located to receive illumination light on the illumination path from a light source.
- the invention is advantageous in that it permits the display to be located near the eyepiece, so that the eyepiece may have a shorter focal length and consequently provide higher magnification, and it allows the illumination source to be remote from the eyepiece and display.
- the display itself is relatively low in volume, and in the case of an LCD is largely glass, and thus can be integrated in the eyepiece without a high degree of obscuration of the user's vision.
- the eyepiece has slightly greater obscuration than the prior art device in U.S. Patent No. 6,023,372, the greater magnification obtainable from the shorter focal length of the eyepiece is an advantage that may be preferable in many applications .

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Fig. 2 illustrates a first embodiment of the invention.
- a transmissive LCD 20 for example the Kopin Cyber Display P/N KCD-QM02-AA (consisting primarily of glass when the mechanical plastic housing is removed) , is placed between a prism 30 and a clear mechanical support fixture 10, to which a light source 12 is attached.
- Light from the light source 12, indicated by the ray 43, is transmitted through the clear mechanical support fixture 10 and is incident on the back side of the LCD 20, which may comprise an active matrix LCD (AMLCD) .
- AMLCD active matrix LCD
- the LCD modulates the light to form an image which is relayed to the eye of the observer by an eyepiece assembly, such as prism 30 and lens 40, which magnifies the image so that it can be conveniently viewed.
- the prism 30 may be metal-coated, or may be replaced by a mirror.
- Images of the ambient scene, indicated by ray 44, pass through support 10 to the eye of the user. If the focal length of the lens 40 equals the optical distance between the lens and the LCD, the image is observed at infinity. Other focal lengths can be employed to place the image at the desired distance, in accordance with Newton' s lens equation or its equivalents. The manner of conveying electrical signals to the LCD will be described herein later.
- An advantage of this device is that the object plane (i.e. the LCD) is in proximity (within 5 to 20 mm) to the eyepiece, thus simplifying the optical relay and reducing the focal length of the eyepiece.
- the reduction in focal length increases the magnification of the system and produces a larger image.
- only a single ray is shown for clarity, but it should be understood that the functioning of the invention requires a plurality of rays and optical paths. It should also be understood that when single lens surfaces are shown, they may represent a system of multiple lens surfaces. Additionally, for the exposition of the optical principles, only the essential optical elements are shown, but is to be understood that the associated housings, clamps and circuits that may or may not be shown can be applied to any of the optical designs.
- a feature of this invention is the clear mechanical support fixture 10.
- the support fixture is clear for two reasons: so that illumination rays can be transmitted to the display, and so that the user's vision of rays 44 is not blocked by the support fixture.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a perspective drawing of the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 2.
- the top surface 19 and bottom surface 17 (Fig. 11) of the support fixture 10 may be painted black and may be unpolished, since these surfaces are not in the view of the user (ambient rays do not pass through surfaces 17 and 19 to the eye) .
- a thin plastic layer may be placed against surfaces 17, 19 for added mechanical strength or to hide circuits.
- Ambient rays 44 do pass through surface 18 and its opposite surface (not shown) and so surface 18 and its opposing surface should be clear, flat and smooth.
- a see-through eyepiece may also be used in this invention, as shown in Fig. 4, which also shows a manner of collimation of the illumination light.
- An LED 275 provides light to a collimating lens 276 which, as indicated by ray 43, proceeds through the support fixture 10 to the LCD 20.
- Polarized light from the LCD passes polarization beam splitter 300 and quarter wave plate 320, and is then reflected by focusing mirror 310. Upon reflection, the light passes a second time through quarter wave plate 320. Having passed twice through the quarter wave plate, the polarization angle of the light is in a condition to be reflected at polarization beam splitter 300, and accordingly passes to the eye.
- a reflective lens 276 which, as indicated by ray 43, proceeds through the support fixture 10 to the LCD 20.
- Polarized light from the LCD passes polarization beam splitter 300 and quarter wave plate 320, and is then reflected by focusing mirror 310. Upon reflection, the light passes a second time through quarter wave plate 320. Having passed twice
- the reflective display is for example of the type manufactured by Microdisplay Corporation, of San Pablo, California.
- the prism shown in Fig. 2 is replaced by a polarization beam splitter cube 130 that serves as the polarizer and analyzer for the reflective LCD.
- Light from the illuminator 12, represented by rays 43, passes through the mechanical support 10 to the cube 130, and one linear polarization passes to the reflective LCD 21.
- the LCD 21 reflects and rotates the polarization of the incident light at each pixel in accordance with a control signal, so that the desired image is relayed to the eye through cube 130 and eye lens system 40.
- the length of the clear support 10 is independent of the focal length of the imaging optics, meaning that the length of support fixture 10 can be made large.
- a typical length of support fixture 10 is in the range of 1 to 10 cm.
- the length may be increased, and the support may be curved, so that the illumination source may be placed behind the ear, and light may be relayed by support fixture 10 around the head from the ear to the eyepiece. If the curvature is properly designed, the light may be contained in a clear support fixture 10 by total internal reflection, similar in nature to the principals governing optical fiber.
- an emissive display such as an active matrix electroluminescent display of the type manufactured by Planar Corporation of Beaverton, Oregon, may be substituted for the reflective LCD.
- Fig. 6 shows how such a display is employed.
- the support fixture 10 is terminated in a wedge that has a mirror coating 131, to reflect light from the display 22 to the lens system 40.
- the clear mechanical support fixture permits the user to have a view free from obstructions of the mechanical features of the eyepiece support fixture, as indicated by ray 44, but in this embodiment does not relay light to the self-emissive display.
- the mechanical support fixture may be hollow, or may be reduced to a thin plate or post 201, as shown in Figures 7 and 8.
- the light 43 from the illumination source 12 may be conveyed to the LCD 20 in free space 210, along a straight path.
- the support structure 201 must however carry the electrical signals from cable 60 to the display, through a miniature cable 16 (Fig. 8) .
- Such cables comprising a plurality of micro-coaxial cables, are available from Gore .
- FIG. 9 shows a complete illustration of a system in accordance with this invention, intended for spectacle mounting.
- Signals are supplied to the unit by cable 60 that is anchored to housing 70.
- the housing 70 may contain integrated or discrete circuits 50 that are connected to the display by circuit 71.
- a second circuit 6 delivers power to LEDs 5. Illumination from LEDs 5 is incident on lens system 42, which collimates rays 43 that are transmitted to display 20 through support 10.
- Clamp 73 mounted on arm 72 serves to fix the unit to spectacles.
- a microphone (not shown) may be included within enclosure 70 for audio input .
- the display unit may be mounted on a boom 440 that is attached to a headband 410.
- the headband may also be fitted with an earpiece 430 for receiving audio output signals.
- the boom may be provided with a microphone for audio input.
- a pad 420 may be attached to the headband, or may be replaced with an earpiece for stereo audio.
- the light conduit 10 that also serves as the mechanical support can serve as an effective light collector.
- a degree of collimation is made possible by a collimating lens 42 (Fig. 9) near the light source. Note that some of the light beyond the solid angle subtended by the display that ordinarily would not reach the display, is trapped by total internal reflection in the light conduit, thus improving the light collection efficiency of the conduit.
- Various techniques are possible including the use of specular metallic coatings or white diffuse reflectors near the illuminator, or even the complete embedding of the LED 5 within the material that forms the light conduit as shown in Fig. 11.
- the display located at the eyepiece requires power, clock and data signals. These signals can be provided by attaching Kapton flexible circuitry 16 (Fig. 3) to the top surface or bottom surface of the support structure 10.
- Kapton flexible circuitry 16 Fig. 3
- the flexible circuit need not be clear, because it is thin (less than 1 mm) and does not block significantly the view of the ambient scene, and may be joined directly to the LCD by techniques known in the art.
- the signals can be provided by coaxial cables fixed to the top or bottom surface of the support 10.
- the optical support fixture 10 is formed from glass by means known in the art, or by injection molding of clear plastics such as polymethylmethacrylate (acrylic) or polycarbonate, or by casting of plastics, polycarbonate resin, CR39, or epoxy resins or alternatively by machining of clear solid plastics. Organic materials generally provide lower weight than glass.
- Fig. 11 shows how the interconnect can be routed within a solid optical support fixture 10 formed by casting.
- Fig. 11a shows a view from the bottom showing the Kapton circuit 450 carrying signals to the LCD, and the Kapton circuit 451 carrying power to the LEDs 5.
- the Kapton circuit is embedded slightly below the surface. Note that the circuit 451 does not block rays from the ambient scene 44.
- Fig. lib shows a side view, in which the interconnect circuits 450, 451 emerge from the optical support fixture 10 near the illuminator and thus can be housed within enclosure 70 (Fig. 9) .
- a reflector 390 is placed around the optical support fixture 10 in the vicinity of the LEDs 5 to reflect light from the LEDs into the optical path to the display 20.
- the display and illumination system may be provided with an ear piece and microphone to serve as an interface to a cellular telephone, computer, or personal digital assistant.
- Fig. 12 illustrates such a system.
- the housing 70 is provided with an opening 620 behind which is provided an audio microphone in communication with an RF circuit 600 via cable 60.
- An ear piece 630 to enable the user to hear audio output is provided and is in communication with the radio frequency (RF) circuit 600 by cable 60.
- RF circuit and power source are located within an enclosure, comprising one of any number of commercial digital or analog RF devices including for example the Bluetooth interface commercialized by Ericsson and its partners.
- the RF circuit provides communication with a cellular telephone, computer, personal digital assistant, or other electronic device.
- Unit 600 is worn behind the head and cable 60 is also used to retain the spectacle frames 610 on the head of the user.
- the cellular telephone may be incorporated within unit 600 itself or even within the housing 70.
- this diagram shows the unit mounted to spectacle frames 610 by clamp 73, a similar device may be constructed for the headset shown in Fig. 10.
