  • Publication number: 20210132542
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an optical waveguide for a display device and to a method for producing such an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide has a substrate on which a hologram layer is arranged. A cover layer includes a light-transmissive material that has been subjected to a curing process is arranged on the hologram layer. The substrate can consist of glass. Alternatively, the substrate likewise consists of a light-transmissive material that has been subjected to a curing process.

  • Publication number: 20210096366
    Abstract: A method for exactly aligning at least two holograms arranged in optical waveguides with respect to one another includes writing a first hologram and a first mark in a first optical waveguide. The method also includes writing a second hologram and a second mark in a second optical waveguide. The method further includes positioning the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide with respect to one another. The method also includes illuminating the first mark and the second mark. A pattern occurring during the illumination after passing the first mark and the second mark is detected. The method further includes changing the position of one of the optical waveguides until the detected pattern matches a specified pattern.
