Abstract: A projection lens can include four lens elements, each lens element being formed from glass and including spherical or planar incident and exiting surfaces. Compared to a projection lens that uses three lens elements, the four-element projection lens has relaxed manufactured and alignment tolerances. Unlike a projection lens that uses one or more plastic elements or uses aspherical surfaces, the all-glass projection lens can be manufactured using relatively fast and inexpensive grinding and polishing techniques. One or two of the glass lens elements can optionally be formed symmetrically, so as to be reversible. One glass element can optionally be plano-convex. A right-angle prism can direct light from a video display into the four glass elements. An achromatic prism can angularly divert the optical axis by about eight degrees and can direct light out of the four glass elements into a near-eye waveguide.

Abstract: A waveguide includes a waveguide body including an optically transmissive material having a refractive index different from a surrounding medium and defining an output surface. The waveguide body is configured to propagate light by total internal reflection in one or more directions substantially tangential to the output surface. The waveguide includes one or more diffractive optical elements (DOEs), each configured to change its diffraction efficiency in response to a respective stimulus, and a DOE driver configured to provide the stimuli to each of the DOEs independently.
