Abstract
A display engine adapted for use in a head-mounted display (HMD) device includes a reflective liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulator (SLM) that is illuminated using a backlight illumination module and a pair of optical prisms providing a total internal reflection (TIR) function. In an illustrative mixed-reality embodiment, the TIR prism pair guides light to the LCoS SLM from the backlight illumination module and projects virtual images reflected from the LCoS SLM, through projection optics, to a diffractive waveguide combiner for viewing by an HMD user.
