ABSTRACT:
The eyepiece of the helmet mounted display optics is formed by a beam splitter eyepiece cube and a spherical mirror to create a magnified virtual image of a rear projection screen mounted to the eyepiece cube at a relatively large distance from the observer. The rear projection screen receives an image from a spatial light modulator display which is illuminated by a separate light source.
