Abstract

A two-dimensional exit pupil expansion method for waveguide display based on polarization volume gratings (PVGs) is provided. Based on the polarized diffraction properties of the PVGs as waveguide coupling elements, a light beam from a microimage source system is introduced into and then propagates in a waveguide medium. By a composite PVG structure, a light field of a transmitted image is subjected to two-dimensional exit pupil expansion and emission, and finally incident into human eyes to achieve waveguide augmented reality imaging.
