So, if you've been hanging around here for any length of time, this isn't that new. We've seen these patents before. This patent makes my confidence quite high that MicroVision's Tech WILL be part of it. (It isn't yet.)
If you haven't checked out Hololens in person, do it. When you see it you will realize that it is going to significantly impact the world, and will be tremendously popular. Particularly look at what Thysenkrup is doing with it.

The patent is for a “MEMS laser scanner having enlarged FOV”, and describes how a MEMS laser scanner can be used for a near-eye display that increases the FOV. It describes how “using light of different polarizations, the MEMS laser scanner is able to expand the FOV without increasing the range over which the mirror of the scanner oscillates”.
One of the names attached to the patent is Sihui He. As MSPowerUser points out, she is an optical engineer at Microsoft.
While the existence of this patent doesn’t necessarily mean that the next generation of HoloLens will definitely have a wider field of view, we’d be very surprised if Microsoft wasn’t working hard on improving the new HoloLen’s performance in that area.
We’ve recently heard rumors that Microsoft is working on a new HoloLens, codenamed Sydney, which could be released in 2019. These rumors also suggest that the next HoloLens will also be significantly cheaper than the original, which was another major criticism.
