  • Publication number: 20240053610
    Abstract: A near-eye display device, including a substrate, a light-emitting element, an active element, an optical layer, and a light guide structure, is provided. The light-emitting element is located on the substrate and includes a first type semiconductor pattern. The active element is located adjacent to the light-emitting element. A channel layer of the active element and the first type semiconductor pattern of the light-emitting element belong to the same layer. The optical layer covers the light-emitting element and the active element. The light guide structure is located on the optical layer and includes an in-coupling portion and an out-coupling portion, wherein an orthogonal projection of the in-coupling portion on the substrate is overlapped with an orthogonal projection of the light-emitting element on the substrate. A manufacturing method of the near-eye display device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240019620
    Abstract: A display device includes a first image generating unit and a first waveguide glass. The first image generating unit is configured to emit first light. The first waveguide glass faces toward the first image generating unit. The first waveguide glass includes a first microstructure, two second microstructures and a third microstructure. The first microstructure is located between two ends at the same side of the two second microstructures. The third microstructure is located between the two second microstructures. The third microstructure has a first grating and a second grating. An extending direction of the first grating is different from an extending direction of the second grating. The second microstructure is configured to receive the first light of the first image generating unit transmitted through the first microstructure and transmit the first light to the third microstructure.
