A head-mountable device can include an optical module that provides a display element that is moveable based on pressure and/or temperature changes within an enclosed chamber. The control mechanisms can directly and/or indirectly alter one or more of the temperature, pressures, and/or volume of the enclosed chamber. As the conditions within the chamber are altered, an extendable member can expand and/or retract to move the display element towards and/or away from a user's eye. The mechanisms for controlling the position of the display element can be actively and/or passively controlled.

A method for displaying virtual content to a user, the method includes determining an accommodation of the user's eyes. The method also includes delivering, through a first waveguide of a stack of waveguides, light rays having a first wavefront curvature based at least in part on the determined accommodation, wherein the first wavefront curvature corresponds to a focal distance of the determined accommodation. The method further includes delivering, through a second waveguide of the stack of waveguides, light rays having a second wavefront curvature, the second wavefront curvature associated with a predetermined margin of the focal distance of the determined accommodation.

An image display apparatus includes: a light source; a screen on which an image is formed when light from the light source is applied thereto; an optical system configured to generate a virtual image by light from the screen; an actuator configured to move the screen in an optical axis direction; a support base supporting the actuator; and a dynamic damper installed on a non-movable part on the support base.

Disclosed is a monocular display module including a first coupling portion that is coupled to a safety helmet, a display unit that provides augmented reality or virtual reality to a left-eye or a right-eye of a user through an LCOS micro display, and a body portion that is coupled to the first coupling portion and the display unit, wherein respective center regions of the first coupling portion, the display unit, and the body portion are positioned in a straight line.

The head-up display device includes a display element that emits image light and a virtual image optical system. The virtual image optical system includes a lens unit and a free curved surface mirror disposed along the emission direction of the image light in this order from a position close to the display element. The display element is disposed with a tilting attitude with respect to the optical axis of the lens unit with an end on the housing aperture side in an emission surface being close to an incidence surface in the lens unit and with an end on the opposite side of the housing aperture in an emission surface being apart from an incidence surface in the lens unit. The lens unit has an optical characteristic of optically enlarging an optical path length difference according to a virtual image distance difference.

A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The housing may include a frame with left and right openings that receive respective left and right optical modules that present images to a user's eyes. Each optical module may have a lens and display that presents an image through the lens. Camera support members may be coupled to respective left and right peripheral portions of the frame. Each camera support member may have openings configured to receive cameras. Antennas may be formed on a camera support member. The antennas may have metal traces on a surface of the camera support member, may have conductive structures embedded within the camera support member, and/or may have patterned metal traces on printed circuits attached to or embedded in the camera support member. The cameras may operate through portions of a display cover layer that covers an outwardly-facing display on the head-mounted housing.

The disclosed systems and methods may include an example assembly for isolating an inertial measurement unit, for example, in the case of a virtual reality system. Additionally, an example system may include shock-absorbing devices, for example for head-mounted displays. In some examples, the disclosed systems and methods may include a form-in-place gasket for water ingress protection around a flexible printed circuit board. The disclosed systems may also include a system for enhancing remote or virtual social experiences using biosignals. The disclosed systems may additionally include a split device with identity fixed to physical location. Various other related methods and systems are also disclosed.

The device (3) includes a display panel (6), a shutter panel (7), and a controller (8). The display panel (6) includes subpixels for displaying a parallax image including a first image and a second image having parallax between the images. The shutter panel (7) is configured to define a traveling direction of image light representing the parallax image from the display panel (6). The controller (8) is configured to change, in a certain time cycle, areas on the shutter panel in a light transmissive state to transmit the image light with at least a certain transmittance and areas in a light attenuating state to transmit the image light with a transmittance lower than the transmittance in the light transmissive state, and is configured to change the subpixels to display the first image and the second image based on positions of the areas in the light transmissive state.

A display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: an HUD positioned inside the vehicle and configured so as to display, on the vehicle window, a surrounding environment video indicating the environment surrounding the vehicle; and a display control unit controlling the HUD such that the surrounding environment video is displayed on the window in accordance with prescribed conditions associated to the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and configured so as to reduce the transmittance of the window.

Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device according to the present disclosure can adjust the length of a band surrounding a user's head, by sensing pressure of a part of the electronic device coming into contact with the user. Furthermore, the electronic device according to the invention can identify a direction in which the user's eyeball looks, and deduce the user's facial expression, by sensing the movement of muscle around the user's eyeball. The electronic device of the invention can be associated with artificial intelligence modules, robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, devices related to 5G service, etc.
