US Patent 11480794 Compact augmented reality (AR)-capable display with increased field of view

Aspects described herein include an optical arrangement that defines a field of view relative to an optical reference point. The optical arrangement comprises a reflective element arranged within the field of view, an off-axis, short-throw projector arranged outside the field of view, and a substantially transparent projection screen arranged within the field of view. The projection screen is configured to preferentially direct imagery projected by the off-axis, short-throw projector toward the reflective element, and to, after direction by the reflective element, transmit the imagery toward the optical reference point.
