Abstract

We propose a new concept of a foveated display with a single display module. A multi-resolution and wide field of view (FOV) can be simultaneously achieved using only a single display, based on temporal polarization-multiplexing. The polarization-dependent lens set functions as an optical window or beam expander system depending on the polarization state, which can provide two operating modes: Fovea mode for a high-resolution and peripheral mode for a wide viewing angle. By superimposing two-mode images, the proposed system supports a foveated and wide FOV image without an ultra-high-resolution display. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed configuration through the proof-of-concept system.
