The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: An electronic device may include a display module that generates image light and an optical system that redirects the image light towards an eye box. The optical system may include an input coupler on a waveguide and collimating optics that collimate the image light between the image light exiting a display module and the image light reaching the input coupler. The collimating optics may include a catadioptric lens that refracts the image light at least twice and reflects the image light at least twice. The catadioptric lens may include first and second lens elements with different refractive indices. The catadioptric lens may include first and second lens elements formed from the same material and attached using optically clear adhesive.
