Abstract

Architectures are provided for selectively incoupling one or more streams of light from a multiplexed light stream into a waveguide. The multiplexed light stream can have light with different characteristics (e.g., different wavelengths and/or different polarizations). The waveguide can comprise in-coupling elements that can selectively couple one or more streams of light from the multiplexed light stream into the waveguide while transmitting one or more other streams of light from the multiplexed light stream.

Claims (19)

1. A display system comprising:

an injection device configured to output a multiplexed light stream that includes a first light stream having at least one first light property and a second light stream having at least one second light property that is different from the at least one first light property, wherein the at least one first light property includes a first wavelength and the at least one second light property includes a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength; and

a waveguide comprising one or more in-coupling optical elements that are arranged to receive at least a portion of the multiplexed light stream, wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements are configured to selectively in-couple, into the waveguide, the first light stream having the first wavelength while being transmissive to the second light stream having the second wavelength, and wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements comprise one or more Pancharatnam-Berry Phase Effect (PBPE) structures that are configured to selectively redirect, into the waveguide, incident light of the first wavelength independently of a polarization of the light.

2. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first light property further includes a first polarization state and the at least one second light property further includes a second polarization state that is different from the first polarization state.

3. The display system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second waveguide comprising one or more second in-coupling optical elements that are arranged to receive at least a portion of the multiplexed light stream, wherein the one or more second in-coupling optical elements are configured to selectively in-couple, into the second waveguide, the second light stream having the at least one second light property while being transmissive to the first light stream having the at least one first light property, and wherein the one or more second in-coupling optical elements comprise one or more second PBPE structures.

4. The display system of claim 3 , wherein the second waveguide is configured to output light with a different level of wavefront curvature than the waveguide.

5. The display system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements and the one or more second in-coupling optical elements at least partly overlap, as viewed from an output end of the injection device.

6. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements are switchable between transmissive and actively light redirecting states.

7. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements are formed on a surface of the waveguide.

8. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements are formed in the waveguide.

9. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the injection device is configured to simultaneously output both the first light stream and the second light stream toward the waveguide.

10. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the injection device is configured to output the first light stream and the second light stream at different times toward the waveguide.

11. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide further comprises one or more out-coupling elements configured to output, from the waveguide, at least a portion of the in-coupled light that is propagating in the waveguide.

12. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide further comprises at least one of an exit pupil expander or an orthogonal pupil expander configured to increase dimensions of an eye box.

13. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the injection device includes a scanning optical fiber.

14. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the injection device comprises a light modulating device.

15. The display system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more in-coupling optical elements comprise a liquid crystal material.

16. The display system of claim 1 , further comprising an eyepiece that includes the waveguide, wherein the display system is a head-mountable display system.
