Abstract
A wearable display apparatus has a headset for display from left-eye and right-eye near-eye catadioptric pupil-forming optical systems, each defining an exit pupil. Each optical system has an image generator to direct image-bearing light for a 2D image from an emissive surface. A curved reflective surface along the view axis is partially transmissive and defines a curved intermediate focal surface. A beam splitter reflects light toward the curved reflective surface. An image relay optically conjugates the formed image with a curved aerial image formed in air at the curved intermediate focal surface. The image relay has a prism having an input surface facing the emissive surface of the image generator, an output surface facing the curved intermediate focal surface, and a folding surface between input and output surfaces for folding the optical path for light generated by the image generator. An aperture stop for the relay is within the prism.
