The patent application outlines a see-through display technology integrated into eyewear. The system features a frame equipped with a controller that transmits control signals based on display content. The lens of the eyewear incorporates components to manage the polarization of light, allowing for dynamic image display without significantly affecting the user's vision.
The eyewear comprises several key components: a polarization component, a partially reflecting mirror, and a polarization converter. These components work together to manipulate the polarization state of ambient light. At least one of these elements is a liquid crystal panel with an active matrix, which connects to the controller to display content according to received signals.
The invention also includes a system that combines an eyewear platform with user interface capabilities. This platform generates display content based on user input and sends it to the eyewear for visualization. The system's design ensures that displayed images do not obstruct the user's view, maintaining clarity of the surrounding environment.
Potential applications for this technology extend beyond eyewear to various see-through displays, such as windows, windshields, and partitions. The eyewear can be adapted into different forms, including virtual reality devices, augmented reality glasses, sunglasses, and more. The modular nature of the design allows for integration with other wearable technologies.
The design uses a combination of polarization control and liquid crystal technology to ensure ambient light can pass through while displaying content. This is achieved by strategically placing components like the polarization converter between other elements to modulate light transmission effectively. The system allows users to view their surroundings clearly while engaging with dynamic visual content.
