This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content and a light source that directs light to a curved polarizing film of the optical assembly that reflects a portion of the light to illuminate a reflective image display. The optical assembly comprises an optically flat film that reflects the image light from the reflective image display to a curved partially reflecting mirror that reflects a portion of the image light and transmits a portion of the scene light from a see-through view of the surrounding environment, so that a combined image comprised of portions of the reflected image light and the transmitted scene light is transmitted through the optically flat film and provided to the user's eye.

1. A system, comprising: an interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user, wherein the eyepiece includes an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment combined with displayed content, an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user, and an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly; anda light source that directs light to a single curved polarizing film of the optical assembly, the single curved polarizing film comprising at least one layer that first reflects a portion of the light to illuminate a reflective image display of the optical assembly, and then transmits the reflected illuminating light through the single curved polarizing film of the optical assembly to provide image light,wherein the optical assembly further comprises an optically flat film, disposed at an angle in front of a user's eye, that reflects a portion of the image light from the reflective image display to a curved partially reflecting mirror,wherein the curved partially reflecting mirror reflects a portion of the image light and transmits a portion of the scene light from a see-through view of the surrounding environment, so that a combined image comprised of portions of the reflected image light and the transmitted scene light is transmitted through the optically flat film and provided to the user's eye. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the reflective image display is an LCOS image display, and further comprising the LCOS image display. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the light source is a polarized light source. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the optically flat film is a polarizing film. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein at least one of the polarizing films is a polarizing beam splitter. 6. The system of claim 4, wherein at least one of the polarizing films is a wire grid polarizing film. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the polarization state is controlled to provide S-polarized light to the single curved polarizing film and the optically flat film. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the optical assembly includes a half wave polarizing film between the single curved polarizing film and the optically flat film. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the optical assembly further comprises at least one quarter wave polarizing film between the surrounding environment and the optically flat film. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the single curved polarizing film comprises a single curved wire grid polarizer. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the single curved polarizing film reflects a portion of the light to illuminate the reflective image display without a diffraction element. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the single curved polarizing film reflects a portion of the light to illuminate the reflective image display without a holographic element. 13. The system of claim 1, further comprising a half wave film in series with a prepolarizer, the reflective image display and the single curved polarizing film, wherein the system is adapted to change the polarization of light a plurality of times in the integrated image source by the prepolarizer, the reflective image display, the single curved polarizing film and the half wave film to provide image light. 14. The system of claim 1, further comprising a polarizing beam splitter in series with the single curved polarizing film and a partially reflecting mirror in series with the polarizing beam splitter, the polarizing beam splitter partially reflecting the image light to the partially reflecting minor, which re-reflects the image light through the polarizing beam splitter to the user. 15. The system of claim 14, further comprising a first quarter wave film between the polarizing beam splitter and the partially reflecting mirror. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the single curved polarizing film is flexible. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the integrated image source provides S polarized light and the single curved polarizing film is adapted to first reflect the S polarized light toward the reflective image display, where the S polarized light is reflected and converted to P polarized light depending on displayed image content and then to pass the P polarized light through the single curved polarizing film to provide P polarized image light.
