Abstract

An optomechanical deflector for a line display unit (3) comprises ocular and objective functions (1, 6, 6a) and also a component or components for sweep-generation (2) and image turning. Each respective sweep-generating component (2) can be positioned at a distance (B) upwards and/or to the side of one or both eye(s) (7). By means of one or more first mirror surfaces (2a), the sweep-generating component reflects incoming radiation (4) from the line display unit (3) to one or more second mirror surface(s) (5a), which form(s) part of the objective function, on a component arranged in a rotationally fixed manner. Each respective second mirror surface in turn reflects radiation (4b) towards a mirror surface (6a) or mirror surfaces forming part of the ocular function, which reproduce(s) the respective first mirror surface for the pupil(s) (7a) of the eye(s). In an alternative embodiment, the sweep-generating component and the rotationally fixed component have changed places.
