Abstract
A display system may include a waveguide, an input coupler, a cross-coupler, and an output coupler for displaying images to a user. A reflector may be disposed on the waveguide. The input coupler may couple light into the waveguide and towards the reflector. The reflector may reflect the light towards the cross-coupler. The cross-coupler may expand and redirect the light. The output coupler may direct the light towards an eye box. The reflector may allow the input coupler to be mounted at a peripheral portion of the waveguide that overlaps a display projector without portions of the field of view of the image light being cut off but the geometry of the waveguide and without causing the display system to be unnecessarily bulky or uncomfortable to wear.
