Abstract

An augmented reality display device includes a light source, a waveguide module and a solar charging layer. The light source has a light-emitting area. The waveguide module is located on the light-emitting area of the light source and includes a first glass layer, a waveguide element, an electrochrome layer and a second glass layer. The first glass layer is located on the light-emitting area of the light source. The electrochrome layer is located on a surface of the waveguide element facing away the first glass layer. The second glass layer is located a surface of the electrochrome layer facing away the waveguide element. The solar charging layer is located on a surface of the second glass layer facing away the electrochrome layer, in which the solar charging layer electrically connects the light source and is configured to charge the light source.
