15.4: Holographic Waveguide Display with Large Field of View Based on Volume Holographic Grating

Abstract

The field of view of waveguide display systems based on volume holographic gratings is often limited by the grating diffraction response bandwidth, which still cannot meet people's needs for large field of view displays. In order to expand the viewing angle of the waveguide display, the influencing factors of the viewing angle of the waveguide display are analyzed based on the strictly coupled wave theory model, and a double‐layer volume grating waveguide structure that can effectively expand the diffraction response bandwidth is proposed. The grating is prepared by the variable‐angle fractional exposure method, and the holographic waveguide display system is built. The results show that the horizontal and vertical viewing angles of the display system can be expanded to 33° and 22°, respectively, and the diagonal viewing angle is 40°.
