ABSTRACT:
A display system for use with headgear of a user includes a visor display mounted to the headgear so as to define a cavity between the head of the user and an inner surface of the visor display. The visor display has at least one partially reflective aspheric surface section directed inward to the user. The partially reflective aspheric surface is at a position which intercepts a forward line of sight of at least one eye of the user and which is at a tilt angle with respect to a plane that is substantially transverse to the forward line of sight. A shallow packaged image source is positioned above an eye within the cavity at a predetermined angle with the plane which is substantially transverse with a forward line of sight. A fiber optic faceplate having a first and second end section is coupled to the image source at the first end section. The second end section has an aspherically shaped surface so as to project an image from the image source on the aspheric surface section of the visor display for reflection of the image to the eye of the user. The shape of the aspheric surface section being determined by a shape of the partially reflective aspheric surface, the tilt angle and the predetermined angle.
