Abstract
A helmet mounted display for mounting on a helmet includes a supporting structure removably mounted at at least one point to the helmet, a visor, mounted on the structure, and at least one optical system, for projecting an image on the visor from the side of the pilot's head. The at least one optical system is side mounted on the supporting structure, and includes a source of light and a digital reflective device or a reflective addressing device. The digital reflective device contains a plurality of micromirrors for deflecting the light source in a pixelated manner via a plurality of pixels. The deflection of the micromirror can be controlled as a function of time.
