Abstract
A near-eye display for conveying virtual images within a real-world view includes a projector having an illuminator with an extended light source including a plurality of cells, each containing light sources, and a partial homogenizer for partially overlapping light from the plurality of cells at an illumination plane of a spatial light modulator. A controller adjusts the outputs of the plurality of cells to alter a distribution of the light over the illumination plane.
