Abstract
The present invention relates generally to stereoscopic displays, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to stereoscopic displays with addressable focus cues. A stereoscopic display system with the addressable focus cues, comprises: a microdisplay for providing a virtual image for display to a user; a reflective active optical element configured to provide a variable optical power; a relay lens disposed along an optical path between the microdisplay and the active optical element, the relay lens positioned therebetween such that the microdisplay and the active optical element are disposed at conjugate planes of the relay lens; a beamsplitter disposed along the optical path between the microdisplay and the active optical element at an orientation to receive optical radiation from the active optical element; and a see-through eyepiece comprising a selected surface configured to receive optical radiation from the beamsplitter and reflect the received radiation to an exit pupil of the system to provide a virtual display path, the selected surface also configured to receive optical radiation from a source other than the microdisplay and to transmit such optical radiation to the exi…
