Abstract

An optical coupler for a waveguide-based display includes a slanted surface-relief grating that includes a plurality of regions. Different regions of the plurality of regions of the slanted surface-relief grating have different angular selectivity characteristics for incident display light. Display light for different viewing angles is diffracted by different regions of the slanted surface-relief grating.
