Problems solved by technology

However, this kind of optical waveguide is not used for display due to the function of the optical machine on the coupling surface. When the two-dimensional grating is coupled in, part of the light will exit in other directions, which will waste a lot of light effect, and its uniformity is affected by the grating modulation. Difficult to design

Embodiment 1

[0045] refer to image 3 . The optical machine 301 projects the image source through the collimated light path and emits it in the form of parallel light. The light is split by the optical prism beam splitting system 401, wherein the optical prism is made of K9 glass, or other transparent optical materials with a critical angle greater than 45° as the base. After the light exits the optical machine, it passes through the beam splitter 311 and is divided into two beams of equal intensity light, the left direction and the downward direction. The left direction light continues to pass through the first reflection surface 312 which is at an angle of 45° to the exit surface, flips 90° and reaches the second exit surface. A grating is coupled into region (left) 202a. At the same time, the downward light is reflected twice by the second reflective surface 313 and the third reflective surface 314 and enters the first grating coupling-in region (right) 202b in the same direction as t...

[0049] refer to Figure 4 . The optical machine 301 projects the image source through the collimated light path and emits it in the form of parallel light. Through the optical prism beam splitting system 401, the optical prism is made of K9 glass, or other transparent optical materials with a critical angle less than 45° as the base. After the light exits the light machine, it passes through the beam splitter 321 and is divided into two beams of equal intensity, rightward and downward. According to the characteristics of the light splitter, the light machine can also be incident on the left side of the prism, which will have the same effect. The light going to the right continues to pass through the reflective surface 322 at an angle of 45° to the outgoing surface, flips 90°, passes through the outgoing surface, and reaches the second grating coupling region (right) 202b. At the same time, the downward light is directly irradiated on the first grating coupling-in region (lef...

[0052] refer to Figure 5 . The optical machine 301 projects the image source through the collimated light path and emits it in the form of parallel light. Through the optical prism beam splitting system 401 , the optical prism is made of K9 glass, or other transparent optical materials with a critical angle greater than 45° as the base. After the light exits the optical machine, it passes through the beam splitter 331 and is divided into two beams of equal intensity, left and right. The left light continues to pass through the reflective surface 312, which is at an angle of 67.5° to the exit surface, flipped 135° and reaches the first grating through the exit surface. In-coupling region (left) 202a. At the same time, the right light beam is reversed by 135° through the reflective surface 333 having an angle of 67.5° with the outgoing surface, and then enters the first grating coupling-in region (right) 202b in the same direction as the first light beam.

Abstract

The invention discloses a grating waveguide display device, which comprises a waveguide base, a grating working mechanism, a first grating coupling area and a second grating coupling area. Wherein the waveguide substrate is an optical flat plate structure transparent to visible light, wherein the first grating coupling-in area arranged on one side of the optical waveguide substrate couples the two beams of light split by the optical system into the waveguide substrate, and the first grating coupling region arranged on the same side of the optical waveguide substrate The working mechanism of the grating on one side is used to expand the light and couple it out of the waveguide substrate, and the coupling grating arranged on the other side of the waveguide substrate improves the efficiency of light incoupling through complex coupling. The present invention simplifies the design structure of the optical waveguide through the symmetrical coupling scheme, enhances the intensity of coupled light, improves the display uniformity of the system, and enhances the perception effect of human eyes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of augmented reality display devices (AR), in particular to a grating waveguide display device. Background technique [0002] Augmented reality (AR) technology simulates virtual graphics through computer graphics, and superimposes virtual information on the real physical environment, thereby providing users with a sensory experience beyond reality and providing more information without affecting the acquisition of environmental information. Information. Nowadays, it has great application value in the fields of education, military, entertainment, and industrial production. [0003] The traditional optical transmissive augmented reality display scheme realizes the redirection of light through waveguides through free-form surface prisms, semi-reflective half-lens arrays, holographic and diffraction gratings, and directs the imaging light of the image to the direction of the human eye to reduce the viewing angle. The ma...
