Abstract
Apparatus and methods are taught to optically fuse first output light containing visual data with second output light emitted from a night vision device. A waveguide display is aligned relative to an eyepiece of the night vision device. When the waveguide display is in an ON state and second output light exits the eyepiece, the second output light passes through the waveguide display. A display has an input and is configured to receive a display input signal containing visual data. The display is configured to emit light responsive to the display input signal. An optical device is disposed between the display and the waveguide display. The optical device couples emitted light from the display into the waveguide display. When in the ON state, the waveguide display emits first output light which optically fuses with second output light.
