Abstract

Generally, current type of waveguide used for near-eye displays is planar waveguide, which belongs to flat panel display. Compared to display system in three-dimensional space, flat panel display limits people's view of the 3-D world and is not conducive to the integration of virtual and reality. This paper proposes a holographic curved waveguide system for near-eye display. In order to analyze the propagation process of light beam in waveguide, an iterative algorithm is established based on angular spectrum theory to get the intensity distribution from each total internal reflection point. According to the simulation results and experimental phenomenon, we have developed phase compensation measures for overmodulation during beam propagation in the waveguide. The research shows that using curved waveguide can achieve beam transmission with less aberration after introducing an appropriate phase compensation in a distance, and it can also achieve beam transmission with lossless energy within a large radius range. Experiments have proven that the final coupling effect is basically consistent with the simulation results, this means that our proposal about curved waveguide has potential application value in near-eye display systems.
