Abstract

Disclosed is a wearable electronic device including a frame, a pair of window members supported by the frame, a pair of leg members rotatably connected to the frame, at least one display module disposed between the pair of window members, and at least one mirror member configured to reflect light emitted from the at least one display module and cause the emitted light to reach at least one of the pair of window members.

Claims (29)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a frame;

a pair of window members supported by the frame;

a wearing member coupled to the frame;

at least one display module disposed between the pair of window members;

at least one mirror member configured to reflect light emitted from the at least one display module and cause the emitted light to reach at least one of the pair of window members; and

a support member disposed between the pair of window members, coupled to the frame, and configured to be supported by a user's body,

wherein the at least one mirror member is disposed on the support member,

wherein the at least one mirror member is disposed between at least one of the pair of window members and the at least one display module, and

wherein a second angular displacement of laser light reflected by the at least one mirror member is greater than a first angular displacement of laser light emitted from the at least one display module.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the wearing member includes a pair of leg members rotatably connected to the frame.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the wearing member includes an adjuster for adjusting the wearing member.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one display module includes a laser light source, a scanning mirror that reflects laser light generated from the laser light source at a plurality of reflection angles and transfers the reflected laser light to one of the pair of window members, and a controller that controls the laser light source and the scanning mirror.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one mirror member is aspherical.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one display module is disposed on at least one of the support member and the frame.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one display module is detachably installed on at least one of the support member and the frame.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one mirror member is detachably installed on the support member.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein a surface of the pair of window members is coated with a material capable of reflecting the light emitted from the display module.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the display module includes a first distribution mirror that transfers at least a part of laser light generated from a laser light source to a first scanning mirror, and a second distribution mirror that transfers laser light passing through the first distribution mirror to a second scanning mirror,

wherein laser light reflected by the first scanning mirror reaches a first member of the pair of window members, and

wherein laser light reflected by the second scanning mirror reaches a second member of the pair of window members.
