Article Abstract

A full-color diffractive optical waveguide scheme is developed specifically for near-eye displays (NED) used in augmented reality (AR) applications. This configuration integrates a color filter (CF) and distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) as filters to efficiently address color dispersion issues. The CF functions to selectively filter out heterochromatic light within the waveguide, thereby guaranteeing the presence of a single, pure primary color within each waveguide. The DBR selectively reflects undesired rays while permitting only essential light to advance to the subsequent waveguide layer. The collaborative operation of the CF and DBR (CF/DBR) effectively accomplishes the desired color uniformity and the color shift Δu'Δv' < 0.064 around the D65 white point across the entire field of view (FoV).

Transparent meltable glasses are keenly desired for making color-conversion layer of Mini-LEDs. In this work, transparent luminescent organic glasses were prepared using a new matrix of heptyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (CHBrP, HTPBr). Through doping of a blue dye (9,10-diphenylanthracene, DPA), the resulting glass exhibited a high transparency (92%) and a blue emission at 436 nm.

Since flat optics has the feature to implement a compact system, they are widely used in various applications to replace bulky refractive optics. However, they suffer from chromatic aberrations due to dispersion, limiting their effectiveness to a narrow wavelength range. Consequently, diffractive optics has been applied for dynamic beam steering within a specific wavelength region or for static steering across multiple wavelengths.

Augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs) utilizing diffractive waveguides have attracted considerable research attention. However, addressing color non-uniformity remains a key challenge in full-color waveguide displays employing volume holographic gratings (VHGs). This paper proposes an AR full-color waveguide display system addressing color non-uniformity.

Image realism and vividness are critical metrics for evaluating optical display performance, particularly for augmented reality (AR) applications. Although previous metasurfaces have demonstrated holographic display capabilities, achieving full-color, high-fidelity holographic displays remains challenging. Here, we present an on-chip metasurface capable of high-fidelity and full-color holographic display for AR.
