Abstract
This invention comprises novel optical structures for Augmented Reality (AR) eyewear which can potentially improve virtual image quality, reduce eyewear size, selectively mask environmental light, and enable multiple focal planes. An optical structure for AR eyewear can comprise an annular array of light-energy emitters around a lens in front of a person's eye, wherein the lens has a plurality of nested annular light guides. This optical structure can also include an array of selectively-movable light reflectors.
