▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - The display has a first microLED array (503) for emitting a first wavelength image-containing light. A second microLED array emits a second wavelength image-containing light. First and se3cond projection lenses collimate and project the first and second wavelength imagecontaining lights over two field of views. A waveguide (504) supports an output grating to provide light extraction from the waveguide. A first input coupler directs the first wavelength image-containing light into a first total internal reflection (TIR) path within the waveguide through a first pupil. A second input coupler directs the second wavelength imagecontaining light into a second TIR path within the waveguide through a second pupil, where the waveguide is curved. A heat path sink (502) is formed from graphene or aluminum and carbon fiber components for RF emission and SAR protection. USE - Waveguide display for a wearable display e.g. HMD, helmet mounted display, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) compact heads up display (HUD) and heads down display (HDD). Can also be used for an autostereoscopic display, projection display and a waveguide sensor such as eye tracker, biometric/fingerprint scanner and laser radar (LIDAR) system and for aviation and road transport applications. ADVANTAGE - The display can be implemented within the wearable display in a simple and cost-effective manner. The display provides high resolution, and can be manufactured in a cost effective manner, and reduces the TIR of the waveguide, thus improving the image quality of the display. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a wearable waveguide display with a microLED projection system.
