Abstract

See full text

A display system includes a relatively higher resolution display for presenting visual information, and a relatively lower resolution display for presenting visual information, the displays being positioned to present the visual information images therefrom in substantially side-by-side relation, the lower resolution image being provided by the cooperation of focusing optics which form a real image at a retro-reflector, which reflects light along an optical path conjugate with light incident thereon to provide an image for viewing, and the higher resolution image being provided without passing through the focusing optics. A method of display includes forming a relatively lower resolution real image, reflecting the image to the eye of an observer, forming a relatively higher resolution image, and directing the relatively higher resolution image to the eye of the observer such that at least a portion of the relatively lower resolution image circumscribes at least a portion of the relatively higher resolution image.
