    摘要: An optical system for displaying an image includes a light-guide optical element (LOE) having a coupling-in region and a propagation region, a coupling-out configuration associated with the propagation region of the LOE, an image projector for generating image illumination corresponding to a collimated image, and a beam-multiplication configuration external to the LOE. The beam-multiplier is a transparent plate bonded to the LOE adjacent to the coupling-in region. The transparent plate has a partially-reflective surface between the LOE and the plate, and a reflector at the opposite surface. The partially-reflective surface and the reflector multiply the beam from the projector so as to fully illuminate the propagation region of the LOE with both the collimated image and a conjugate of the collimated image.

    摘要: A shutter includes a plurality of light-guiding devices each of which includes a light collector and a beam expander. The light collector includes a light-guiding plate that has a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion in a first direction, and a plurality of light-collecting members that are disposed on the first end portion and that are arranged in the first direction. Each of the light-collecting members has a curved surface that is adapted for reflecting light beams that travel into the light-collecting member so that the light beams travel into the light-guiding plate. The beam expander is disposed on the second end portion of the light-guiding plate. When the light beams travel into the light-guiding plate, the light-guiding plate is adapted for the light beams to reflect therein, and to travel through the second end portion into the beam expander.
