Regarding to claim 19 (Withdrawn), Eash in view of Rodriguez discloses the device of claim 16, wherein a k-vector of the prism corresponds to the wrap angle (Fig. 11 A-B; [0028]: lenses are generally angled both from the top, i.e. base angle, and the side; the combination of the different angles which make up the total displacement of the in-coupler of the waveguide is referred to as a compound angle; ; PNG media_image5.png 358 506 media_image5.png Greyscale Fig. 6; [0040]). Regarding to claim 20 (Withdrawn), Eash in view of Rodriguez discloses the device of claim 16, wherein the prism is triangular prism of a single material (Eash; Fig. 2; [0030]: the prism 230 changes the exit angle of the light, to position output image 240; using a single prism 230 may cause some issues, such as chromatic aberrations; PNG media_image12.png 156 550 media_image12.png Greyscale ; [0031]: the shape, size, and materials of the prism are selected based on the bandwidth of the light, along with the pupil size, and the angles of deflection; Fig. 6; [0040]: the prism 630 is single prism and is a chromatic prism as illustrated in Fig. 6).
