    Abstract: An image transmission device of a multifocal display system is described, for transmitting a set of N composite images based on a set of N primary images to an image reception device. N is greater or equal 2, and each of the N primary images has a focus distance associated therewith. The image transmission device includes processing circuitry configured to partition each of the N primary images into image portions and generate the N composite images by placing each image portion of each of the N primary images into one of the N composite images such that each of the N composite images comprises image portions from two or more of the N primary images. A communication interface transmits the N composite images to the image reception device (103).

    Abstract: A focus tunable optical system includes a lens assembly. The lens assembly includes: focus tunable lenses (FTLs) coaxially disposed along an optical axis, each FTL contributing to an optical power of the lens assembly; and a controller configured to control the optical power of the lens assembly by applying to each FTL a respective control signal, thereby generating a periodic optical response of the respective FTL. The optical response of each FTL is substantially different from the optical response of any other FTL of the plurality of FTLs.

    Abstract: A multifocal display device has a focus tunable lens, a controller, and a storage. The controller selectively tunes the focus of the lens to a plurality of focal planes of different index during a frame per A focal plane of lower index has a shorter focal distance. The storage stores a plurality of focal plane groups, each group including the plurality of focal planes in a different sequence. The controller selects a first group and tunes, during a first frame period, the focus of the lens to each one of the focal planes in the first group according to their sequence, and selects a second group from groups allowed by a selection rule, and tunes, during a second frame period, the focus of the lens to each one of the focal planes in the second group according to their sequence.

    Abstract: An optical system for a display device for head mounting is described. In particular a Maxwellian display device, with an enlarged eye-box is described. The optical system includes a beam forming element configured to converge multiple sets of light beams into at least two points of convergence (e.g., on an exit pupil of the optical system or of the display device using the optical system), and at least one optical arrangement comprising an input for input light beams, at least one beam splitter and at least three reflectors. The at least one beam splitter and at least three reflectors are positioned to form the multiple sets of the light beams from the input light beams such that the multiple sets of the light beams have equally long beam paths from the input to the beam forming element. Each point of convergence is a convergent viewing point for a user, thus enlarging the eye-box.
