    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling brightness of images includes: a first light guide including an in-coupling diffraction grating configured to in-couple input beams of light from a first light engine, an expanding grating configured to expand the input beams of light, and an out-coupling diffraction grating configured to out-couple the expanded beams of light; and a second light guide including at least; an in-coupling diffraction grating configured to in-couple input beams of light from a second light engine, an expanding grating configured to expand the input beams of light, and an out-coupling diffraction grating configured to out-couple the expanded beams of light. The out-coupling diffraction grating of the first light guide at least partially overlaps the out-coupling diffraction grating of the second light guide so that images are overlaid to control brightness of images provided by the apparatus.

    Abstract: An apparatus for providing gaze tracking in a near-eye display. Certain examples provide an apparatus including a light modulator configured to receive light of a first range of wavelengths and generate an image beam therefrom. The light modulator is further configured to receive light of a second range of wavelengths and generate a probe beam therefrom. The apparatus also includes one or more light guides including one or more in-coupling element areas, and one or more out-coupling element areas. The one or more in-coupling element areas are configured to receive and in-couple the image beam and the probe beam into the one or more light guides. The one or more out-coupling element areas are configured to out-couple, from the one or more light guides: the image beam to a user's eye for user viewing, and the probe beam to the user's eye for detection of reflection therefrom.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes: first and second light guides, each light guide respectively including: a plurality of diffractive optical elements configured to: in-couple one or more input beams of light into the light guides, expand the input beams of light, and out-couple the expanded beams of light from the light guides to provide expanded output light beams; wherein the out-coupling diffractive optical elements include a plurality of sections thereof that are independently switch able between a first and second out-coupling states. A section of the out-coupling diffractive guide in the first out-coupling state permits the out-coupling of the expanded beams of light therefrom. A section of the out-coupling diffractive guide in the second out-coupling state precludes the out-coupling of the expanded beams of light therefrom. The out-coupling diffractive guides at least partially overlap.
