Abstract

A head-mounted display device can include a display assembly including a window, and a light source configured to produce content displayed at the window. In some examples, The head-mounted display device can also include a securement band defining a closed loop, the closed loop including a first connection point, a second connection point, and a third connection point. In some examples, the head-mounted display device can also include a first connection arm coupling the display assembly to the first connection point.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A head-mounted display device, comprising:
a display assembly including:
a window; and
a light source configured to produce content displayed at the window;
a securement band defining a closed loop, the closed loop including:
a first connection point;
a second connection point opposite the first connection point; and
a third connection point disposed between the first connection point and the second connection point;
a first connection arm coupling the display assembly to the first connection point; a second connection arm coupling the display assembly to the second connection point; and a third connection arm coupling the display assembly to the third connection point.

2 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the securement band including the third connection point is more rigid than a second portion of the securement band adjacent the first portion.

3 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , wherein a position of the window is adjustable relative to the securement band via at least one of the first connection arm, the second connection arm, or the third connection arm.

4 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , wherein the display is cantilevered from the securement band via the first connection arm.

5 . The head-mounted display device of claim 4 , wherein the display is cantilevered from the securement band via the second connection arm.

6 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , wherein a tension of the securement band is adjustable.

7 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , wherein:
the closed loop includes a first material; and at least one of the first connection point, the second connection point, or the third connection point includes a second material more rigid than the first material.

8 . The head-mounted display device of claim 1 , further including a light seal extending from the securement band.

9 . A securement band for a head-mounted display device, comprising:
a loop; a first side connector adjustably coupled to the loop and extending to a display; a second side connector adjustably coupled to the loop and extending to the display; and a front connector adjustably coupled to the loop and extending to the display; wherein:
the second side connector is disposed opposite the first side connector; and
the front connector is disposed between the first side connector and the second side connector.

10 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein the loop comprises a continuous loop.

11 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein the loop comprises:
a first portion; and a second portion more elastic than the first portion.

12 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein the loop comprises an electronic component.

13 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first side connector or the second side connector cantilevers the display from the loop.

14 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein an adjustment of the front connector changes an angle of the display relative to the loop.

15 . The securement band of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first side connector, the second side connector, or the front connector comprises an electronic component.

16 . An electronic display device, comprising:
a display assembly including a frame and a display coupled to the frame; a securement band configured secure the display assembly to a head; a first side connector adjustably coupling the display assembly to the securement band; a second side connector opposite the first side connector, the second side connector adjustably coupling the display assembly to the securement band; and a front connector adjustably coupling the display assembly to the securement band.

17 . The electronic display device of claim 16 , wherein the first side connector and the second side connector are each translatable in a first direction relative to the securement band.

18 . The electronic display device of claim 17 , wherein the front connector is translatable in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction relative to the securement band.

19 . The electronic display device of claim 16 , wherein the first side connector and the second side connector are each configured to support a greater portion of a weight of the display assembly than the front connector.

20 . The electronic display device of claim 16 , wherein the first side connector and the second side connector are rotatable and translatable relative to the securement band.
