Definitions
- the present disclosure pertains to see-through head mounted displays and the control of light entering and exiting the head mounted display.
- See-through head mounted displays allow a user to view a displayed image or a see-through view of the scene in front of the user. See-through head mounted displays can also allow the user to view a combined image comprised of a displayed image and a see-through view of the scene in front of the user in which the displayed image is overlaid on the see-through view.
- the see-through head mounted display can present the displayed image so that the area of the displayed image is transparent, semitransparent or opaque.
- the see-through view of the scene is unblocked and an overlaid displayed image can be provided with low contrast.
- the semitransparent mode the see- through view of the scene is partially blocked and an overlaid displayed image can be provided with higher contrast.
- the opaque mode the se-through view of the scene is fully blocked and an overlaid displayed image can be provided with high contrast.
- some head-mounted displays provide a see-through display for an augmented reality view in which real-world scenes are visible to a user but additional image information is overlaid on the real-world scenes.
- Such an augmented reality view is provided by helmet mounted see-through displays found in military applications and by heads-up displays (HUDs) in the windshields of automobiles. In this case, there can be multiple areas for displaying images over the see-through view.
- HUDs heads-up displays
- U.S. Pat. No. 5151722 describes a head mounted display with a folded optical path and a beam splitter with a curved mirror to present an image from a CRT image source to the user's eye.
- the image source is positioned on the side of the user's head with the optical path multiply folded to present the image light from the image source into the user's eye.
- the curved mirror is positioned between the user's eye and the scene in front of the user.
- a see-through version of the head mounted display is also discussed wherein the curved mirror is a partially reflective mirror so the user can see through the curved mirror to view the scene in front of the user.
- the CRT image source is large and heavy so that it is not well suited for head mounted displays.
- the multiply folded geometry with the image source located on the side of the user's head makes for a larger beam splitter and a thicker geometry in front of the user's eye so that the overall size of the head mounted display is larger.
- Image light that passes through the partially reflecting mirror is uncontrolled and as such, a portion of the image light escapes through the front of the see-through head mounted display and is seen externally as eyeglow.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5699194 discloses a see-through head mounted display with a waveguide wherein the outer surface is a partially reflecting mirror.

- An unpolarized image source is used so that half of the image light from the image source passes through the polarizing beam splitter while the other half of the light is reflected away from the user's eye and toward the scene in front of the user.
- a polarizer is positioned in front of the polarizing beam splitter cube to block the half of the light that is reflected away from the user's eye and thereby make the user less observable by others in the neighboring environment.
- the polarizing beam splitter cube is large and heavy, so that it is not well suited for use in a head mounted display.
- the curved mirror is also relatively large so that by locating the mirror below the user's eye, the thickness of the see-through head mounted display is necessarily larger.

- a light control element is provided to block escaping light comprised of the transmitted portion of image light and the reflected portion of scene light, while allowing a portion of incoming scene light to be transmitted from the external environment to the see-through display assembly.
- the light control element transmits a higher percentage of incoming scene light than the percentage of escaping light that is not blocked.
- a method for viewing an image with reduced eyeglow on a see-through head mounted display having a front and a back includes steps of providing image light to a partially reflecting mirror from an image displayed on an image source and reflecting a first portion of the image light from the partially reflecting mirror while transmitting a second portion of the image light through the partially reflecting mirror.
- the method also includes steps of transmitting a first portion of scene light from the external environment through a light control element at the front of the see-through head mounted display.
- Additional steps include transmitting a second portion of the scene light through the partially reflecting mirror while reflecting a third portion of the scene light from the partially reflecting mirror, and combining the first portion of the image light with the second portion of the scene light to provide a combined image to a viewer's eye at the back of the see-through head mounted display comprised of the image displayed on the image source overlaid on a view of the external environment.
- the method also includes a step of using the light control element to block the transmitted second portion of the image light and the reflected third portion of the scene light to reduce eyeglow.

- the displayed image seen by the user has a higher contrast and objects from the see-through view are very dim in the display area 115.
- see-through head mounted display devices 100 can provide image information to one eye of the user or both eyes of the user. See-through head mounted display devices 100 that present image information to both eyes of the user can have one or two image sources. Monoscopic viewing in which the same image information is presented to both eyes is done with see-through head mounted display devices 100 that have one or two image sources.

A first portion of the image light 470 that has been reflected by the beam splitter layer 420, is then reflected back toward the user's eye 410 by a partially reflecting mirror 440.
- the partially reflecting mirror 440 can be spherical or aspheric as appropriate to present a focused image to the user's eye 410.
- the reflected first portion of the image light 470 then passes back through the beam splitter and is focused at the user's eye 410.

- Linearly polarized image light can be provided by various means including microdisplays with linearly polarized illumination such as LCOS displays or LCD displays, alternately self-luminous displays (such as OLED, QLED and transmissive LCOS) with a linear polarizer can be used to provide linearly polarized image light 470.
- the light control element 480 is a linear polarizer.
- the linear polarizer in the light control element 480 is oriented relative to the linearly polarized image light 470 so that the second portion of the linearly polarized image light 470 that passes through the partially reflecting mirror 440 is blocked and eyeglow is reduced.
- the beam splitter layer 420 is a polarizing beam splitter, or the image source provides polarized image light 470 and the beam splitter layer 420 is a polarizing beam splitter, so that the reflected image light 470 is linearly polarized light, this embodiment and the associated polarization control is shown in FIG. 6.

- the first quarter wave film 430 converts the linearly polarized image light to circularly polarized image light (shown as S being converted to CR in FIG. 6).
- the reflected first portion of image light 470 is then also circularly polarized where the circular polarization state is reversed (shown as CL in FIG. 6) so that after passing back through the quarter wave film, the polarization state of the reflected first portion of image light 470 is reversed (to P polarization) compared to the polarization state of the image light 470 provided by the image source (shown as S).
- the reflected first portion of the image light 470 passes through the polarizing beam splitter without reflection losses.

- the light control element 480 is a second quarter wave film 653 and a linear polarizer 654.
- the second quarter wave film 653 converts the second portion of the circularly polarized image light 470 into linearly polarized image light 470 (shown as CR being converted to S) with a polarization state that is blocked by the linear polarizer 654 in the light control element 480 so that eyeglow is reduced.
- the light control element 480 includes a linear polarizer 654 and a quarter wave film 653, incoming unpolarized scene light 465 from the external environment in front of the user is converted to linearly polarized light (shown as P polarization state in FIG. 6) while 50% of the light is blocked.
- the first portion of scene light 465 that passes through the linear polarizer 654 is linearly polarized light which is converted by the quarter wave film to circularly polarized light (shown as P being converted to CL in FIG. 6).
- the third portion of scene light that is reflected from the partially reflecting mirror 440 has reversed circular polarization (shown as converting from CL to CR in FIG.
- the linear polarizer 654 then blocks the reflected third portion of the scene light thereby reducing escaping light and reducing eyeglow.
- the reflected first portion of image light 470 and the transmitted second portion of scene light have the same circular polarization state (shown as CL) so that they combine and are converted by the first quarter wave film 430 into linearly polarized light (shown as P) which passes through the beam splitter when the beam splitter layer 420 is a polarizing beam splitter.
- the linearly polarized combined light 690 then provides a combined image to the user's eye 410 located at the back of the see-through display assembly 400, where the combined image is comprised of overlaid portions of the displayed image from the image source and the see-through view of the external environment in front of the user.
- an image source 520 that provides linearly polarized image light 570 is used.
- the linearly polarized image light 570 enters a waveguide 555 wherein the light is first reflected by total internal reflection from the back surface 530, a first portion of the image light 570 is reflected from a partially reflecting mirror 540 and then transmitted through surface 530 to present an image from the image source 520 to the user's eye 410.
- the user looks through the waveguide 555 and the partially reflecting mirror 540 to obtain a see-through view of the external scene in front of the user.
- a corrective element 560 is provided to reduce distortions in the see-through view seen by the user.
- the combined image presented to the user's eye 410 comprised of the displayed image from the image source 520 overlaid on at least a portion of a see-through view of the external scene, is formed from the image light 570 and the scene light 565.
- eyeglow comes from a second portion of image light 570 that is transmitted through the partially reflecting mirror 540 where it passes through the corrective element 560 and escapes from the see-through display assembly 500.
- the linear polarization of the image light 570 is maintained so that the second portion of image light 570 that escapes from the see-through display assembly 500 has the same linear polarization as the image light 570 provided by the image source 520.

- the light control element 580, the corrective element 560, the partially reflective mirror 540, the waveguide 555 and the user's eye 410 are all located on a common optical axis 550.
- FIG. 5 shows image light 570 being reflected once on surface 530 and once on partially reflecting mirror 540, waveguides can be used where multiple reflections of the image light 570 occur on either the surface 530 or the partially reflective mirror 540.

- This optical layout has been selected to provide the additional benefit of providing a thin see-through display assembly with a large displayed field of view overlaid onto the see-through field of view.
- the portion of the partially reflective mirror where the image is displayed must be relatively large.
- an angled beam splitter layer as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to locate the partially reflective mirror above or below the see-through field of view.
- the partially refiective mirror is located with an optical axis that is perpendicular to the optical axis associated with the see-through field of view, the lateral dimension of the partially reflective mirror increases the thickness of the see-through display assembly substantially.
- the embodiments may include partially reflective mirrors that share an optical axis with the see-through field of view so that the large dimension of the partially reflective mirror that is associated with the large displayed field of view is vertical and as such does not contribute to the thickness of the see-through display assembly.
- the partially reflective mirror since the partially reflective mirror is located on the optical axis of the see-through field of view, the partially reflective mirror must be both partially reflective to provide the displayed image and partially transparent to provide the see- through view.
- a see-through display assembly was designed similar to that shown in FIG. 4 for a 30 degree field of view displayed image. The partially reflective mirror was then 15 mm high. By positioning the partially reflective mirror in front of the user, the thickness of the see-through display assembly from the front of the partially reflective mirror to the back of the beam splitter layer was reduced to 10 mm.
- the light control layer includes an electrically controllable darkening layer to reduce the amount of scene light entering the see- through head mounted display.
- the controllable darkening layer is controlled in response to detected changes in the environment, changes in the user's movements or changes in the type of images being displayed.
- the controllable darkening layer is segmented to provide differential control in the display areas and the clear areas of the lens to provide a displayed image with higher contrast. Examples of controllable darkening layers include various types of liquid crystal layers, electrowetting layers or electrochromic layers.
- FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a light control element 700.
- Light control element 700 includes a controllable darkening layer 652, a quarter wave film 653, a linear polarizer 654 and a support layer 740.
- light control element 700 can be a separate replaceable element in the see-through head mounted display device 100.
- different levels of functionality can be built into the light control element 700 such as different color tints or thicker support layers 740 to provide increased impact resistance, ballistic protection or laser protection.
- Impact resistance can be provided with a high impact plastic such as polycarbonate and ballistic protection can be provided with a laminated component, as in bullet proof glass.
- Laser protection can also be provided, for example, with cut filters to block laser wavelengths.
- the support layer 740 can include photochromic materials which automatically darken when in bright environments to block a portion of the scene light thereby making it easier to view displayed images.
- controllable darkening layer 652 can be included in some versions of the light control element 700 to block a portion of the scene light to provide improved viewing conditions with higher contrast displayed images in portions of the combined image Simpler versions of light control element 700 may simply omit the controllable darkening layer 652.
- the quarter wave film 653 should be left out of the light control element 700 when used with certain types of see-through display assemblies 400 such as when the image source provides linearly polarized image light 470 and the beam splitter layer 420 is a partially reflective mirror or when a see-through display assembly 500 is used.
- FIG. 8 shows an example of a see-through display assembly with a light control element 480 in a glasses frame.
- the glasses cross-section 800 shows the components of see-through display assembly 400 in a glasses frame 805.

- the supporting members 885 and 887 along with the light control element 700 are connected to the glasses frame 805.
- the other components such as the folding mirror 460 and the first quarter wave film 430 are also connected to the supporting members 887 and 885 so that the combined assembly is structurally sound.
- FIG. 9 describes a method of using the present disclosure.
- image light is provided by an image source, such as a microdisplay, to a partially reflecting mirror.
- the partially reflecting mirror reflects a first portion of the image light while transmitting a second portion of image light.
- a first portion of scene light is transmitted through a light control element.
- a second portion of the scene light is transmitted through the partially reflecting mirror while a third portion of the scene light is reflected from the partially reflecting mirror in step 940.
- step 950 the first portion of image light and the second portion of scene light are combined to provide a combined image to the user's eye wherein the combined image is comprised of the displayed image from the image source overlaid on a see-through view of the external scene in front of the user.
- step 960 the light control element blocks escaping light from the second portion of the image light and the third portion of the scene light to thereby reduce eyeglow. Wherein the percentage of light in the first portion of scene light that is transmitted through the light control element is larger than the percentage of escaping light from the second portion of image light and the third portion of scene light that is not blocked by the light control element.
- the partially reflecting mirror included in the apparatus can have a range of reflectivity from 20% to 80%.
- the lower levels of reflectivity provide for more scene light to be presented to the user's eye so that the see-through view is brighter but, higher levels of image light will escape so that power usage for the image source will be increased to provide a displayed image with a given level of brightness.
- higher levels of reflectivity provide for less scene light to be presented to the user's eye so that the see-through view is dimmer and lower levels of image light will escape, so that power usage for the image source will be reduced to provide a displayed image with a given level of brightness.
- Linear polarizers typically block 99.9% or greater of one linear polarization state while allowing 99.9% of the other linear polarization state to pass through.
- Unpolarized light is comprised of a mixture of the two linear polarization states so that 50%> of the unpolarized light is blocked and 50%> passes through the linear polarizer. Purely absorbing filters or purely reflecting filters cannot block a higher percentage of light than they pass under any circumstances.
- the polarization states of the various portions of the image light and the scene light are controlled in the see-through display assembly and the light control element such that a high percentage of scene light is allowed to pass into the see- through display assembly while a higher percentage of escaping light is blocked so that a bright see-through view is presented to the user and eyeglow is reduced.
- the image light or the scene light may take on some elliptical polarization, it is reasonable to expect that the light control element blocks greater than 90% of the escaping light while allowing greater than 30% of the scene light to be transmitted.
- the polarizing beam splitter in the embodiments discussed herein can be of several different types. While the examples shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 8 show wiregrid plates or wiregrid films applied to support plates as the polarizing beam splitters, MacNeil prism type polarizing beam splitters can also be used.
- light absorbing structures are included on one or more of the edges of the frame 105 to absorb light that is reflected or scattered from the user's face.
- the light absorbing structures can include black areas or textured areas.
- the light absorbing structures can also be flexible to conform to the user's face.
- optical axis 652 controllable
