TLDR
In this article, a head mounted display for displaying images that can be viewed by a wearer when the display is worn on the wearer's head is described, which can include a spatial light modulator having an array of pixels selectively adjustable for producing spatial patterns.Abstract:
Certain embodiments include a head mounted display for displaying images that can be viewed by a wearer when the display is worn on the wearer's head. The display can include a spatial light modulator having an array of pixels selectively adjustable for producing spatial patterns. The array of pixels can define a substantially planar reflective surface on the spatial light modulator. The display can further include a light source. The display can also include illumination optics disposed to receive light from the light source and direct light onto the planar reflective surface of the spatial light modulator at an angle with respect to the surface normal of the planar reflective surface. The display can include imaging optics disposed with respect to the spatial light modulator to receive light from the spatial light modulator. The display can also include headgear for supporting the spatial light modulator, imaging optics, and reflector.read more

Wearable display system
TL;DR: In this article, a wearable display system, such as a Head Mounted Display (HMD), having a display engine producing light, preferably linearly polarized light, which defines a synthetic image that is relayed to a wire grid polarizing combiner which overlays the synthetic image onto a real image of an object of the outside world, and wherein the real image is contemporaneously viewed through the wire grid polarity combiner by the wearer.
