REFLECTIVE POLARIZER FOR AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAY

摘要

A head-mounted display device includes a first reflective polarizer having a first optical surface and a second optical surface that is opposite to the first optical surface. The first optical surface of the first reflective polarizer is curved, and the first reflective polarizer is configured to reflect light having a first polarization. The head-mounted display device also includes a first electronic display configured to project toward the first reflective polarizer a light pattern. At least a portion of the light pattern is reflected by the first reflective polarizer. Also disclosed is a method, which includes directing a light pattern from the first electronic display toward the first reflective polarizer and reflecting at least a portion of the light pattern toward an eye of a user.
