Abstract
A light pipe is provided for transmitting light signals from one of its ends to its other end facing toward the eye of a user for viewing a virtual image. The light pipe includes a diffractive component formed directly in the inlet surface. The diffractive component is an element satisfying the equation of an aspherical component of revolution of the 'kinoform' type, where the diffractive component of the pipe has power situated in a range D (Thresh, X) defined by D(Thresh, X)=D(Thresh) INTERSECTION D(X).
