Waveguide combiners having a pass-through in-coupler grating are described herein. The waveguide combiners include at least one microdisplay and a stack of at least two waveguide layers. In one configuration of a waveguide combiner described herein, the green FOV and the blue FOV only propagate in a first waveguide and the red FOV only propagates in a second waveguide. In another configuration of a waveguide combiner described herein, the blue FOV, the red FOV, and the green FOV only propagate in the first waveguide, the second waveguide, and a third waveguide respectively. The waveguide combiners including the stack of waveguide layers reduces luminance non-uniformity, color non-uniformity, double-images, and other non-uniformities of the overlayed images from a first microdisplay and, in some embodiments, a second microdisplay.

Embodiments include a head-worn display including a display panel sized and positioned to produce a field of view to present digital content to an eye of a user, and a processor adapted to present the digital content to the display panel such that the digital content is only presented in a portion of the field of view, the portion being in the middle of the field of view such that horizontally opposing edges of the field of view are blank areas. The processor is adapted to shift the digital content into one of the blank areas to adjust the convergence distance of the digital content and thereby change the perceived distance from the user to the digital content.

An eyewear apparatus is disclosed which comprises at least one light display engine (LDE) configured to generate at least one image on a display (disp1) of said light display engine, a waveguide (WG) configured for guiding light from the light display engine towards an eye of a user to make said image (Im1) visible to the user, wherein said display (disp1) is shifted (d) on one side with respect to an optical axis of said light display engine such that said image (Im1) is visible to the user on a corresponding side of a field of view (HFoV) of said eyewear apparatus.

A head-mounted display device including one or more position sensors and a processor. The processor may receive a rendered image of a current frame. The processor may receive position data from the one or more position sensors and determine an updated device pose based on the position data. The processor may apply a first spatial correction to color information in pixels of the rendered image at least in part by reprojecting the rendered image based on the updated device pose. The head-mounted display device may further include a display configured to apply a second spatial correction to the color information in the pixels of the rendered image at least in part by applying wobulation to the reprojected rendered image to thereby generate a sequence of wobulated pixel subframes for the current frame. The display may display the current frame by displaying the sequence of wobulated pixel subframes.

To determine the head pose of a user, a head-mounted display system having an imaging device can obtain a current image of a real-world environment, with points corresponding to salient points which will be used to determine the head pose. The salient points are patch-based and include: a first salient point being projected onto the current image from a previous image, and with a second salient point included in the current image being extracted from the current image. Each salient point is subsequently matched with real-world points based on descriptor-based map information indicating locations of salient points in the real-world environment. The orientation of the imaging devices is determined based on the matching and based on the relative positions of the salient points in the view captured in the current image. The orientation may be used to extrapolate the head pose of the wearer of the head-mounted display system.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first transparent member and a second transparent member where at least one visual object is displayed, a lens frame receiving at least a portion of the first transparent member and at least a portion of the second transparent member, the lens frame configured to: allow an external electronic device including at least one color-changeable lens to be attached thereto, and allow the at least one color-changeable lens to be aligned with at least one of the first transparent member or the second transparent member if the external electronic device is attached to the lens frame, one or more wearing members extending from the lens frame or coupled to the lens frame, at least one camera disposed in the lens frame and at least partially exposed to an outside through at least one hole formed in the lens frame, at least one first transmission coil disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the at least one camera inside the lens frame, and a power transmission circuit configured to transfer a current to the at least one first transmission coil.

Disclosed herein are display systems with multiple display packages. In some examples, a first display package includes a first LED die and a first backplane die. The first LED die includes a wire interface that is symmetric about a first plane. The first backplane die includes input/output (I/O) pads that are electrically connected to the wire interface and symmetric about a second plane, perpendicular to the first plane. A similarly configured second display package includes a second LED die with a wire interface identical in layout to that of the first LED die, and a second backplane die with I/O pads identical in layout to that of the first backplane die. The second LED die can be positioned with respect to the second backplane die as a mirror reflection across the second plane of the position of the first LED die with respect to the first backplane die.

A method for processing data for display on a screen involves encoding, using a first colour space, a first portion of image data intended to be displayed on a first area of the screen and encoding, using a second colour space, a second portion of image data intended to be displayed on a second area of the screen. The encoded first and second portions of the image data are compressed, and transmitted over a link for display on the screen. By using different colour spaces to encode image data that is displayed in different parts of a screen, differences in a users vision and/or aberrations caused by display equipment may be accounted for and so provide an improved user experience. Using different colour spaces for different screen areas may also reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, for example by encoding image data more effectively and/or allowing more efficient compression of data.

A method of moderating chromaticity of ambient light in an environment reflected back into the environment by a component comprised in a lens of glasses through which a user of views the environment, the method comprising: determining a first set of tristimulus values that characterizes ambient light reflected by the component surface as a function of angle of reflection Θ in a bounded span of angles of reflection; determining a second set of tristimulus values for angles in the bounded span of angles so that light characterized by the second set of tristimulus values combined with light reflected by the component would be perceived substantially as white light; and providing an optical coating that reflects ambient light from the environment so that the reflected light is substantially characterized by the second set of tristimulus values.

A display assembly generates environmentally matched virtual content for an electronic display. The display assembly includes a display controller and a display. The display controller is configured to estimate environmental matching information for a target area within a local area based in part on light information received from a light sensor. The target area is a region for placement of a virtual object. The light information describes light values. The display controller generates display instructions for the target area based in part on a human vision model, the estimated environmental matching information, and rendering information associated with the virtual object. The display is configured to present the virtual object as part of artificial reality content in accordance with the display instructions. The color and brightness of the virtual object is environmentally matched to the portion of the local area surrounding the target area.
