Abstract

See full text

Implementations are described of a waveguide apparatus including a proximal end, a distal end, a front surface and a back surface, the back surface being spaced apart from the front surface. A display input region is positioned at or near the proximal end, an ambient input region is positioned on the front surface near the distal end and an output region is positioned on the back surface near the distal end. One or more optical elements is positioned in or adjacent to the waveguide to direct display light from the display input region to the output region and to direct ambient light from the ambient input region to the output region, and an switchable mirror layer is positioned in or on the waveguide to selectively control the amount of ambient light that is directed to the output region. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
