[0002] Currently in the XR field, the optical module used to present images will use a folded optical path, that is, the pancake solution, which can greatly reduce the product size and weight, thereby optimizing the user's viewing experience. Among them, the pancake solution that uses triangular prisms to form a square optical cube came into being. This solution generally uses a piece of PBS film material placed between two prisms for initial formation, and then performs optical design around the optical surface of the optical cube as needed, or adds optical substrates and films or coatings.

[0003] The optical cube is composed of two triangular prisms and a piece of PBS film material. The key point is to ensure that there is no obvious step difference after the two triangular prisms form the optical cube, and there are no wrinkles or other abnormalities on the bonding surface of the PBS film material.
