Abstract: A light-weight and ultrathin waveguide optical element having a large field of view includes two or more layers of waveguide plates provided to be overlapped with each other. Within each layer of the waveguide plate are included multiple reflective surfaces with different reflectivity, such that light transmitted through the waveguide plate has a substantially uniform distribution of intensity in a predetermined area when exiting from the waveguide plate. The waveguide optical element is ultrathin such that it can be directly mounted into a spectacle frame. Use of the waveguide optical element with a projection optical assembly can improve user experience as well as display effect with good contrast.

Abstract: A wearable augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) display apparatus includes an optical waveguide; an optical free-form surface; and a microdisplay; wherein optical free-form surface is optically coupled to the waveguide through an inclined optical path. A near-eye display apparatus includes two or more layers of waveguide plates arranged to overlap with each other, wherein within each layer of the waveguide plate includes multiple reflective surfaces different in reflectivity, so as to ensure that light transmitted through the waveguide plate has a substantially uniform distribution of intensity in a predetermined area when exiting outward from the waveguide plate. The waveguide optical element is ultrathin so as to be directly mounted into a spectacle frame. User experience and contrast level are also improved.

Abstract: A tiled head-mounted display device, comprising: an optical component including a plurality of prisms with free-form surfaces, each prism being a wedge prism comprising a first optical surface, a second optical surface and a third optical surface; and a display component including a plurality of micro-displays, wherein the number of the micro-displays and the number of the prisms with free-form surfaces is identical. The tiled head-mounted display device according to the present invention is compact and light, provides wide field of view and high resolution, especially for the optical tiling head-mounted display device, the exit pupil planes of each display channels are coincident, thus avoiding pupil aberration and keeping exit pupil diameter and eye clearance same as the single ocular. There is no resolution variance throughout the entire field of view, thus preventing extra trapezoid distortion.
