  • Publication number: 20260156238
    Abstract: A display device includes a light source which provides light, a plurality of first nanostructures which collimates the light from the light source and converts a light path of the light from the light source, a light guide portion which totally reflects light incident thereon from the plurality of first nanostructures in a way such that the light travels from one end to another end thereof, a spatial light modulator which modulates a phase of light incident thereon from the light guide portion and outputs the light having the phase modulated thereby, and a plurality of second nanostructures which collimates light incident thereon from the light guide portion and converts a light path of the light incident thereon to provide the light incident thereon to the spatial light modulator.
