In a display device, an image having an aspect not equal to 1 is formed by an image forming unit configured to form an image, and the image is guided as an image light to a display position by an optical system. The optical system, which is provided with a diffraction optical element, deflects the image light. In the diffraction optical element, a pitch direction of a pattern for deflecting the image light coincides with a direction in which the aspect of the image is narrow. In the display device, the direction in which the image light is deflected by the diffraction optical element coincides with the direction in which the aspect of the image formed is narrow, thus making it possible to suppress unevenness of brightness and hue within a plane of an image displayed.

The method further includes, after the transparent cover has been attached to the at least a portion of the semiconductor wafer, removing silicon between one or more of the active silicon areas.

The techniques disclosed herein detect sensor misalignments in a display device by the use of sensors operating under different modalities. In some configurations, a near-to-eye display device can include a number of sensors that can be used to track movement of the device relative to a surrounding environment. The device can utilize multiple sensors operating under multiple modalities. For each sensor, there is a set of intrinsic and extrinsic properties that are calibrated. The device is also configured to determine refined estimations of the intrinsic and extrinsic properties at runtime. The refined estimations of the intrinsic and extrinsic properties can then be used to derive knowledge on how the device has deformed over time. The device can then use the refined estimations of the intrinsic and extrinsic properties and/or any other resulting data that quantifies any deformations of the device to make adjustments to rendered images at runtime.
