An anamorphic near-eye display apparatus comprises a spatial light modulator with asymmetric pixels; an input transverse anamorphic lens; and an extraction waveguide that passes input light in a first direction to a lateral anamorphic reflector arranged to reflect the light back through the waveguide. The transverse and lateral anamorphic components are arranged to achieve desirable aberrations of light cones output from the spatial light modulator. Extraction elements are arranged along the waveguide to extract the reflected light towards the pupil of an observer, maintaining the directionality of the fan of light rays from the spatial light modulator and anamorphic imaging system. A thin, transparent and efficient anamorphic display apparatus for Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality displays is provided.
