Abstract

A near eye optical display includes a waveguide comprising a first surface and a second surface, an input coupler, a fold grating, and an output grating. The input coupler is configured to receive collimated light from a display source and to cause the light to travel within the waveguide via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface to the fold grating; the fold grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a first direction and to direct the light to the output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface; and the output grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a second direction different than the first direction and to cause the light to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface.

Claims (30)

1 . A near eye optical display, comprising:

a waveguide comprising a first surface and a second surface, an input coupler, a fold grating, and an output grating, wherein the input coupler is configured to receive collimated light from a display source and to cause the light to travel within the waveguide via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface to the fold grating, and wherein the fold grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a first direction and to direct the light to the output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface, and wherein the output grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a second direction different than the first direction and to cause the light to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface.

2 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction.

3 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are planar surfaces.

4 . The display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a collimating lens system for providing light from the display source to the input coupler.

5 . The display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a quarter wave plate on the first surface or the second surface of the waveguide.

6 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the input coupler, the fold grating, and the output grating are liquid crystal-based gratings.

7 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the fold grating comprises one or more of Bragg gratings or gratings recorded in holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal.

8 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is horizontal and the second direction is vertical.

9 . The display of claim 1 , wherein the display provides a field of view of at least 20 by 15 degrees.

10 . A method of displaying information, the method comprising:

receiving collimated light in a waveguide having a first surface and a second surface;

providing the collimated light to a fold grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface,

providing pupil expansion in a first direction using the fold grating and directing the light to an output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface; and

providing pupil expansion in a second direction different than the first direction and causing the light to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the fold grating and the output grating are switchable or non-switchable Bragg gratings.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first surface and the second surface are planar.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the input coupler is a switchable or non-switchable Bragg grating.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the fold grating is a first set of gratings and the output grating is a second set of gratings.

15 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is vertical and the second direction is horizontal.

16 . An apparatus for providing an optical display, comprising:

a first image source for a first image for a first field of view;

a second image source for a second image for a second field of view;

a waveguide comprising a first surface, a second surface, a first input coupler, a second input coupler, a first fold grating, a second fold grating, a first output grating, and a second output grating, wherein the first input coupler is configured to receive the first image and to cause the first image to travel within the waveguide by total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface to the first fold grating, wherein the first fold grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a first direction and to direct the first image to the first output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the first output grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in a second direction different than the first direction and to cause the first image to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface, wherein the second input coupler is configured to receive the second image and to cause the second image to travel within the waveguide by total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface to the second fold grating, wherein the second fold grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in the first direction and to direct the second image to the second output grating via total internal reflection between the first surface and the second surface, and wherein the second output grating is configured to provide pupil expansion in the second direction different than the first direction and to cause the second image to exit the waveguide from the first surface or the second surface.

17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction.

18 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein first field of view is at least 15 by 20 degrees.

19 . The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising a third output grating and a fourth output grating, the third output grating receiving a third image for the first fold grating, and the fourth output grating receiving a fourth image from the second fold grating, the first and third grating being provided by the first image source sequentially and the second and third image being provide by the second image source sequentially.

20 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first and third grating are switched sequentially to appropriately output the first image and the third image from the waveguide.
