This application discloses an optical
waveguide, a display component, and an AR device, relating to the field of optical
waveguide technology. The optical
waveguide includes an
entrance pupil unit, a
pupil expansion unit, a compensation unit, a deflection unit, and an
exit pupil unit. An image beam emitted from an optomechanical
system couples into the
entrance pupil unit, and a portion of the
field of view light enters the
pupil expansion unit, propagates through the
pupil expansion unit, and exits through the
exit pupil unit. The remaining portion of the
field of view light enters the compensation unit, propagates through the compensation unit and deflection unit, and exits through the
exit pupil unit, ultimately forming a combined image of the complete
field of view at the exit pupil unit. Compared to traditional pupil expansion units, the pupil expansion unit of this application only needs to
handle a portion of the field of view light propagating from the
entrance pupil unit, thus reducing the area of the pupil expansion unit from the source. Simultaneously, by adding a compensation unit to receive the remaining field of view light, it is possible to achieve a larger field of view range while simultaneously miniaturizing the waveguide structure.
