Abstract
An optical system includes a lightguide and an image projecting arrangement. The image projecting arrangement includes a polarizing-beam-splitter prism having a diagonal polarizing beam splitter surface reflecting light from an image-generating matrix to reflective collimating optics. A coupling prism is deployed between the polarizing beam splitter surface and a lightguide entrance, providing a coupling surface that is coplanar with, or parallel to, one of the parallel major surfaces of the lightguide. A reference length RL is defined as a distance along the optical axis from a principal plane of the collimating optics to the polarizing beam splitter surface. Both a first light path from the image plane to the principal plane and a second light path from the principal plane to the lightguide entrance have a length less than 3×RL.
