Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of diffraction optical equipment, and in particular to a waveguide diffraction component and a manufacturing method thereof, and an AR display device. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread application of semiconductor processing technology, for example, in the field of augmented reality, waveguide diffraction components are usually used for light coupling, pupil expansion and coupling out. Waveguide diffraction components are usually made by nanoimprinting. The refractive index of the nanoimprint optical adhesive material used to make the diffraction grating in the waveguide diffraction component is currently in the range of 1.1-2.0. Its diffraction efficiency is limited by the material itself and is difficult to improve. In order to improve the efficiency, an enhancement layer is often set on the diffraction grating, such as the patent with publication number CN114217438A. Usually, the material of the enhancement layer is TiO2, which has the best effect. Setting an enhancement layer on the coupling grating can improve the efficiency of the light transmitted by the micro-projector entering the coupling grating. Setting an enhancement layer at the coupling grating is expected to solve the problem of the bright bar in the middle of the display.

[0003] However, setting an enhancement layer on the surface of the diffraction grating in the prior art will bring new problems. Since TiO2 is a metal oxide, its advantage is that it can provide a higher refractive index and improve optical performance, but it also has inherent disadvantages. TiO2 is a photocatalyst. Under ultraviolet light, it will catalyze the imprinted grating material in the diffraction grating - acrylic acid, causing the refractive index of acrylic to change, affecting the display quality of the waveguide diffraction component.

[0004] At the same time, the diffraction grating material in the prior art is usually nano-imprinted optical adhesive, and the refractive index of the optical adhesive often cannot reach the high refractive index characteristics required by the current waveguide design. Therefore, the diffraction efficiency of the waveguide diffraction component is limited by the refractive index of the diffraction grating material.

[0005] That is to say, the waveguide diffraction assembly in the prior art has the problem that it is difficult to achieve both stability of display quality and improvement of diffraction efficiency at the same time. Summary of the invention

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0029] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0030] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to simultaneously take into account the stability of display quality and the improvement of diffraction efficiency in a waveguide diffraction component, the present invention provides a waveguide diffraction component, a manufacturing method thereof, and an AR display device.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the waveguide diffraction component includes a substrate 10, a first optical adhesive structure 20, a first isolation layer 30 and a functional layer. The first optical adhesive structure 20 is formed on a surface of one side of the substrate 10 by nanoimprinting; the first isolation layer 30 is conformally covered on a side of the first optical adhesive structure 20 away from the substrate 10, so that the side and top surfaces of the first optical adhesive structure 20 are covered by the first isolation layer 30; the functional layer is conformally covered on a side of the first isolation layer 30 away from the substrate 10, the refractive index of the functional layer is greater than the refractive index of the first optical adhesive structure 20, and the functional layer is used as an enhancement layer 41 or as a diffraction grating.

[0032] By setting the first isolation layer 30 between the functional layer and the first optical adhesive structure 20, the first isolation layer 30 can separate the functional layer and the first optical adhesive structure 20, thereby preventing the material of the functional layer from chemically reacting with the material of the first optical adhesive structure 20, avoiding the risk of the refractive index of the first optical adhesive structure 20 changing and affecting the diffraction efficiency of the waveguide diffraction assembly, greatly improving the structural stability of the first optical adhesive structure 20, ensuring the reliability of use and the stability of display quality of the waveguide diffraction assembly, and helping to extend the service life of the waveguide diffraction assembly.

[0033] The above functional layer can be used as the enhancement layer 41 in one embodiment of the present application, and can be used as the diffraction grating in another embodiment of the present application. The material of the functional layer is the same, and the material of the functional layer is TiO2 or Nb2O5. The following is a description of the specific embodiments and drawings.

[0034] In the first embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple first optical adhesive structures 20, and multiple first optical adhesive structures 20 are arranged at intervals on one side surface of the substrate 10, and the first isolation layer and the functional layer are sequentially covered on the side of the multiple first optical adhesive structures 20 away from the substrate 10. So that the surface of the first isolation layer 30 facing the substrate 10 is in contact with the top surface, the side surface and the surface of the substrate 10 between two adjacent optical adhesive structures of the first optical adhesive structure 20. In this embodiment, the first optical adhesive structure 20 is a first diffraction grating, and the functional layer is used as an enhancement layer 41. By setting the first isolation layer 30, the chemical properties of the first diffraction grating can be stabilized by the first isolation layer 30 without affecting the diffraction performance of the waveguide diffraction component, so as to prevent the optical efficiency of the waveguide diffraction component from being affected by the reaction between the material of the enhancement layer 41 and the nanoimprint optical adhesive in the first diffraction grating. At the same time, the reliability of the waveguide diffraction component can be improved, and the service life of the device including the waveguide diffraction component can be extended. Since the first optical adhesive structure 20 in this embodiment is used as a first diffraction grating to achieve light coupling-in, pupil expansion and light coupling-out, the enhancement layer 41 is provided so that the enhancement layer 41 can improve the diffraction efficiency of the first diffraction grating.

[0035] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a waveguide diffraction component, wherein the method is used to manufacture the waveguide diffraction component. Figure 1 The waveguide diffraction component in the present invention comprises:

[0036] Step S1: obtaining a substrate 10, coating a first optical adhesive material on one side surface of the substrate 10, and using a master plate or a daughter plate with a grating structure to emboss and demold the first optical adhesive material, thereby forming a first optical adhesive structure 20 of a waveguide diffraction component, that is, a first diffraction grating, and the first diffraction grating is multiple;

[0037] Step S2: forming Al2O3 or SiO2 with a thickness of 1 nm or more and 5 nm or less on one side of the plurality of first diffraction gratings away from the substrate 10 by using one of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition to form a first isolation layer 30 of the waveguide diffraction component;

[0038] Step S3: TiO2 or Nb2O5 is grown on the surface of the first isolation layer 30 away from the substrate 10 by using one of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition to form a functional layer of the waveguide diffraction component, that is, the enhancement layer 41.

[0039] In summary, the first diffraction grating is formed on the surface of the substrate 10 by nanoimprinting, so the first diffraction grating is an optical adhesive material. The structural shape of the first diffraction grating is determined by the grating structure carried by the master plate or the daughter plate, and the shape of the first diffraction grating is any grating shape that can be processed by nanoimprinting, such as a rectangular grating, a step grating, a tilted grating, a blazed grating, and a two-dimensional diffraction grating.

[0040] In the second embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of first optical adhesive structures 20 arranged at intervals are arranged on the surface of one side of the substrate 10, and the first isolation layer 30 and the functional layer are sequentially conformally covered on the side of the plurality of first optical adhesive structures 20 away from the substrate 10. In this embodiment, the functional layer is a second diffraction grating 42, that is, in this embodiment, the functional layer is used as the second diffraction grating 42 to achieve coupling, pupil expansion and coupling out of light. At this time, the waveguide diffraction component also includes a second isolation layer 50 and a second optical adhesive layer 60. The second isolation layer 50 conformally covers the side of the second diffraction grating 42 away from the substrate 10, so that the first isolation layer 30 and the second isolation layer 50 sandwich the second diffraction grating 42 therebetween, and the second optical adhesive layer 60 is filled and arranged on the side of the second isolation layer 50 away from the substrate 10. In this embodiment, the material of the second diffraction grating 42 is TiO2 or Nb2O5.

[0041] Since the first optical adhesive structure 20 is provided, the second diffraction grating 42 conformally covered thereon is formed according to the shape of the first optical adhesive structure 20. The shape of the second diffraction grating 42 can be adjusted by adjusting the shape of the first optical adhesive structure 20, so as to increase the diversity of the types of the second diffraction grating 42. At the same time, by providing the first isolation layer 30 and the second isolation layer 50 to sandwich the second diffraction grating 42 therebetween, the first isolation layer 30 and the second isolation layer 50 can protect the second diffraction grating 42, and can effectively avoid the first optical adhesive structure 20, the second optical adhesive layer 60 and the second diffraction grating 42 from chemically reacting, thereby affecting the refractive index of the second diffraction grating 42, and ensure the reliability of the second diffraction grating 42. In addition, the refractive indexes of the first optical adhesive structure 20 and the second optical adhesive layer 60 are both smaller than the refractive index of the second diffraction grating 42. The first optical adhesive structure 20 and the second optical adhesive layer 60 are provided to wrap the second diffraction grating 42 and the two isolation layers, so that the second diffraction grating 42 has diffraction conditions. TiO2 or Nb2O5 is selected as the material of the second diffraction grating 42 to ensure that the second diffraction grating 42 has a high refractive index and a high diffraction efficiency, which is beneficial to ensure that the diffraction efficiency of the waveguide diffraction component is high, the display effect is good, and it is not easy to have "refractive index change" or "foggy appearance", etc., and the reliability is strong.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the second optical adhesive layer 60 on the side away from the substrate 10 is a plane. The structure of the surface of the second optical adhesive layer 60 on the side facing the substrate 10 is equivalent to meshing with the gap between the two adjacent first optical adhesive structures 20 on the side of the second isolation layer 50 away from the substrate 10, so that the substrate 10, the first optical adhesive structure 20, the first isolation layer 30, the second diffraction grating 42, the second isolation layer 50 and the second optical adhesive layer 60 form a whole. The second diffraction grating 42 is a one-layer structure. The heights and shapes of the multiple first optical adhesive structures 20 shown in the figure are the same, so a second diffraction grating 42 of a uniform shape can be formed. The distance from the surface of the second optical adhesive layer 60 on the side away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10 is greater than the distance from the position of the second isolation layer 50 farthest from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10. That is to say, the distance from the side surface of the second optical adhesive layer 60 away from the substrate 10 to the substrate 10 is greater than the distance from the second isolation layer 50 located on the first optical adhesive structure 20 to the substrate 10, that is, the thickness of the second optical adhesive layer 60 is higher than the second isolation layer 50 on the first optical adhesive structure 20, which is conducive to ensuring the rationality of the thickness of the second optical adhesive layer 60, so that the second optical adhesive layer 60, the substrate 10 and the first optical adhesive structure 20 can protect two isolation layers and a second diffraction grating 42 therein, which is conducive to ensuring the structural stability of the second diffraction grating 42.

[0043] Specifically, the material of the first isolation layer 30 is one or more of Al2O3, SiO2, HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5, and CeO2; the material of the second isolation layer 50 is one or more of Al2O3, SiO2, HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5, and CeO2. Al2O3 and SiO2 materials have good stability and are not prone to catalysis, oxidation, corrosion, and other reactions with the optical adhesive material or the material of the functional layer, and can effectively isolate the first optical adhesive structure 20 from the functional layer.

[0044] Specifically, the thickness of the first isolation layer 30 is greater than or equal to 1 nm and less than or equal to 5 nm. When the thickness of the first isolation layer 30 is set too small, it is not conducive to the isolation effect of the first isolation layer 30 on the first optical adhesive structure 20 and the enhancement layer 41. When the thickness of the first isolation layer 30 is set to be large, it will have an adverse effect on the optical performance of the waveguide diffraction component and the efficiency improvement effect of the enhancement layer 41. The thickness of the second isolation layer 50 is greater than or equal to 1 nm and less than or equal to 5 nm. When the thickness of the second isolation layer 50 is set too small, it is not conducive to the isolation effect of the second isolation layer 50 on the second diffraction grating 42 and the second optical adhesive layer 60. When the thickness of the second isolation layer 50 is set to be large, it will have an adverse effect on the optical performance of the waveguide diffraction component and the efficiency improvement effect of the second diffraction grating 42. It should be noted here that the thickness of the first isolation layer 30 at each position is consistent, and the thickness of the second isolation layer 50 at each position is consistent.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the specific embodiment shown, the plurality of first optical adhesive structures 20 are arranged perpendicular to a side surface of the substrate 10. Figure 2 In the specific embodiment shown in , since the first optical adhesive structure 20 is arranged perpendicular to the substrate 10, an arched second diffraction grating 42 perpendicular to the substrate 10 is formed. Figure 3 In the specific embodiment shown, the plurality of first optical adhesive structures 20 are arranged obliquely to one side surface of the substrate 10 , thereby forming an arched second diffraction grating 42 oblique to the substrate 10 .

[0046] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a waveguide diffraction component, wherein the method is used to manufacture the waveguide diffraction component. Figure 2 The waveguide diffraction component in the present invention comprises:

[0047] Step S1: Obtain a substrate 10, apply a first optical adhesive material on one side surface of the substrate 10, and use a master plate or a daughter plate with a grating structure to emboss and demold the first optical adhesive material to form a first optical adhesive structure 20 of a waveguide diffraction component. There are multiple first optical adhesive structures 20. It should be noted here that some residual adhesive will remain after the nanoimprint process, which is not shown in the figure, but can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0048] Step S2: growing one or more of Al2O3, SiO2, HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5, CeO2 with a thickness of 1 nm or more and 5 nm or less on one side of the plurality of first optical adhesive structures 20 away from the substrate 10 by using one of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition to form a first isolation layer 30 of the waveguide diffraction component;

[0049] Step S3: growing TiO2 or Nb2O5 on a surface of the first isolation layer 30 away from the substrate 10 by using a method selected from the group consisting of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition to form a functional layer of a waveguide diffraction component, namely, a second diffraction grating 42;

[0050] Step S4: growing one or more of Al2O3, SiO2, HfO2, ZrO2, Ta2O5, CeO2 with a thickness of 1 nm or more and 5 nm or less on a surface of the second diffraction grating 42 away from the substrate 10 by using a method selected from the group consisting of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition to form a second isolation layer 50 of the waveguide diffraction component;

[0051] Step S5: forming a second optical adhesive layer 60 on a surface of the second isolation layer 50 away from the substrate 10 by spin coating or embossing with a blank master plate / daughter plate.

[0052] In addition, the manufacturing method of the second embodiment of the present invention can also process the second diffraction grating 42 of other shapes. The top cross-sectional views of the second diffraction grating 42 with different structures are shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in ah, Figure 4 For example, the side cross-sectional view of Figure a is still the same as Figure 2 Same. Note Figure 4 Only the shape of the second diffraction grating 42 is shown, and the first isolation layer 30 , the second isolation layer 50 , the first optical adhesive structure 20 , and the second optical adhesive layer 60 are not shown in the figure.
