AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing head-mounted displays, there are deficiencies in the diffraction efficiency of the image light guide, the output intensity of the image-carrying light, and the uniformity across the output aperture, which affect the presentation effect of virtual images.

Method used

A partitioned coupling diffractive optical device is used, including a first region and a second region that are adjacent to each other and have different sets of diffraction features. By expanding the eyebox through multiple encounters, the pupil expansion along the virtual image is provided, which enhances the uniform distribution of light carried by the image.

Benefits of technology

It improves the presentation quality of virtual images, enhances the output intensity and uniformity of light carried by the image, reduces the sensitivity to the viewer's eye position, and provides a more realistic virtual image experience.
