ABSTRACT:
A head-mounted display (10). A spatial light modulator (12) generates the image to be viewed. A projection lens (14) projects the image to a rear projection screen (16), which diffuses the image to accommodate the spacing and size of the viewer's eyes. The image is reflected by a beam splitter (17) to a curved reflector (18) in front of the viewer's eyes. The reflector (18) reflects the image through the beam splitter (17) in parallel rays so that the image appears to be distant, and also magnifies the image to provide a wide field of view.
