Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTERNAL LIGHT MANAGEMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023090781
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an augmented reality system.SOLUTION: An augmented reality system includes a light source to generate a virtual light beam, the virtual light beam carrying information on a virtual object. The system also includes a light guiding optical element, the light guiding optical element allowing a first portion of a first real-world light beam to pass therethrough, where the virtual light beam enters the light guiding optical element, propagates through the light guiding optical element by substantially total internal reflection (TIR), and exits the light guiding optical element. The system further includes a lens disposed adjacently to the light guiding optical element and exterior to a surface thereof, the lens comprising a light modulating mechanism to absorb a second portion of the real-world light beam and to allow the first portion of the real-world light to pass through the lens.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
