Proximity-to-eye imaging system and wearable device comprising said proximity-to-eye imaging system

Abstract

A near-eye imaging system comprising a point light source generating incident light beams; a spatial light modulator (SLM) generating modulated light beams that form point images in a foreground plane; illumination optics in a third plane directing the incident light beams from the point light source to the SLM; and imaging optics directing the modulated light beams along a projection axis in a fourth plane to a region of the visual field in a second plane parallel to the first. The third and fourth planes are substantially perpendicular to the foreground plane. The illumination optics define a first optical path from the foreground plane to the second plane and a second optical path from the third plane to the fourth plane. The imaging optics define a third optical path from the second plane to the foreground plane and a fourth optical path from the foreground plane to the second plane.A portable device comprising a near-eye image projection system is also described.
