Abstract

There is provided an optical device, having a light-transmitting substrate (20) including at least two major surfaces parallel to each other and edges; optical means (16) for coupling light into the substrate by internal reflection, and at least one reflecting, surface (22) located in the substrate which is non-parallel to the major surfaces of the substrate (20) characterized in that the optical means (16) for coupling light into the substrate is a partially reflecting surface, wherein part of the light coupled into the substrate (20) passes through the partially reflecting surface (16) out of the substrate and part of the light is reflected into the substrate (20).

Claims

29AMENDED CLAIMS[Received by the International Bureau on 11 December 2005 (11.12.2005); original claims 1-7 replaced by amended claims 1-7; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
1. Aii optical device, comprising: a light-transmitting substrate having at least two major surfaces parallel to each other and edges; optical means for coupling light into said substrate [ by internal reflection ], and at least one reflecting surface located in said substrate which is non-paralle] to said major surfaces of the substrate characterized in that said optical means for coupling light into said substrate is a partially reflecting surface, wherein part of the light coupled into the substrate passes through the partially reflecting surface out of said substrate and part of said light is reflected into the substrate by total internal reflection.
2. The optical device according to claim 1, wherein said optical means is located in said substrate.
3. The optical device according to claim 2, wherein said partially reflecting surface is parallel to said at least one reflecting surface.
4. The optical device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one reflecting surface is a partially reflecting surface.
5. The optical device according to claim I3 wherein said optical means for coupling light into said substrate is disposed at an angle to said major surfaces to cause at least part of the rays of said coupled light to intersect said at least one reflecting surface at least twice with two different incident angles.
6. The optical device according to claim I5 wherein rays of said coupled light impinge on one side of the partially reflecting surface at a first angle of incidence and rays of said coupled light impinge on a second side of said partially reflecting surface at a second smaller angle of incidence.
7. The optical device according to claim 1, wherein said partially reflecting surface has a small reflection for one part of the angular spectrum and a larger reflection for other parts of the angular spectrum.
