Abstract

A display device has a display, operable to generate a real image, and an optical system, comprising one or more lenslets, arranged to generate a virtual sub-image from a partial real image on the display, by each lenslet projecting light from the display to an eye position. The sub-images combine to form a virtual image viewable from the eye position. At least one lenslet is symmetric with respect to a plane, and the display surface is cylindrical with its axis perpendicular to that plane.
