Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) apparatus comprising at least one optical system, each optical system comprising a lens having a reflective optical surface and an HMD device associated with and distanced from the reflective optical surface. The HMD device comprises a substrate having horizontal and/or vertical convex curvatures having a curved geometric profile which continuously curves with smooth transitions in horizontal and/or vertical dimensions. The curved profile is dimensioned to curve around a temple of a wearer and extend in a direction toward an ear of a wearer. The substrate comprising a plurality of pixel elements arranged along the horizontal convex curvature and being controlled to selectively radiate light representative of computer-generated content (CGC) to the associated reflective optical surface such that those selected pixel elements for display emanate rays of the light for subsequent reflection from the reflective optical surface toward a respective one eye of the wearer.
