Description

Display device, system and display method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of Augmented Reality (AR) display technologies, and in particular, to a display device, a system, and a display method.
Background
Augmented Reality (AR) display technology can be widely applied to the fields of military, medical treatment, architecture, education, engineering, movie and television, entertainment and the like, and it is likely that smart phones are the same as the next-generation mainstream display means.
Common AR optical systems are mainly of the following types: firstly, prism type: according to the optical scheme used by Google Glass, a display screen image is collimated by a concave reflector, reflected by a semi-transparent semi-reflective film and finally projected to human eyes. The field of view of the scheme is generally below 20 degrees, and the volume is large; second, free-form surface reflection: the curved surface reflection type mainly utilizes the principle of mirror reflection for imaging, and in the design of a light propagation path, a Birdbath mode can be adopted, or optical schemes such as reflection (called off-axis reflection) by projecting the light onto a coated curved surface and the like can be adopted. A larger field of view can be realized, but the size is too large, and the glasses are not suitable for being worn for a long time;
thirdly, optical waveguides: the proposal is considered to be the closest proposal to the current myopia glasses, and mainly comprises three types of geometric optical waveguides, surface relief type optical waveguides and holographic optical waveguides. The geometrical optical waveguide has low production yield and expensive cost of a single optical module due to the complex process, and most patents are held in the LUMUS hands of Israel corporation; the etching process used by the surface relief type optical waveguide can adopt the mature manufacturing technology in the semiconductor industry, so that the yield is higher during mass production, and the cost is far lower than that of a geometrical optical waveguide scheme. The requirements of semiconductor process and design make the technical and capital barriers high;
the holographic optical waveguide can be exposed on a single-layer lens with a curved surface shape to form a holographic film, so that an AR product closest to the traditional glasses with the curved surface can be produced. And large-scale production equipment is not needed, the cost only depends on glass and the holographic film, and the cheapest optical waveguide scheme can be realized.
In summary, the most likely applications for consumer-grade AR optical solutions are surface-relief optical waveguides and holographic optical waveguides. The surface relief type optical waveguide needs heavy asset investment, and a general company is difficult to bear, so the holographic optical waveguide scheme is the scheme which is most likely to realize curve overtaking, but the scheme has the defects that the angle selectivity of the holographic grating causes the limitation of a field angle, the field angle is about 30 degrees, meanwhile, the chromaticity uniformity is poor, and the wavelength difference of a monochromatic 30 degree can reach about 50 nm. .

Detailed Description
In order to better understand the technical scheme of the invention, the invention is further explained by combining the drawings and the specific embodiments in the specification.
Example 1:
the display device comprises a waveguide substrate 050, wherein the waveguide substrate 050 is provided with a first surface 051 and a second surface 052 which are opposite;
the first surface 051 and/or the second surface 052 are/is coated with adhesive layers 040 and 060, and the adhesive layers are holographic films;
a first diffractive optical input element 031, a second diffractive optical input element 071 arranged on the bonding layer, a first diffractive optical output element 032 matched with the first diffractive optical input element, and a second diffractive optical output element 072 matched with the second diffractive optical input element 071; at least one of the first diffractive optical input element 031, the second diffractive optical input element 071, the first diffractive optical output element 032, and the second diffractive optical output element 072 is a holographic grating, and in this embodiment, all the holographic gratings are selected, preferably, the first diffractive optical input element 031 and the first diffractive optical output element 032 are a group of gratings and have the same grating period, and the grating period is the same for the holographic gratings, which means that the distance between grating stripes is the same, for example, a 1000-line grating means that 1000 grating stripes are arranged in 1mm, and the distance between the grating stripes can represent the grating period, and the grating period is in one layer of holographic film 040; second diffractive optical input element 071 and second diffractive optical output element 072 are a set of gratings with the same grating period in a layer of holographic film 060; the holographic grating is made of photoresist, photopolymer, dichromated gelatin, photorefractive crystal, silver halide through holographic exposure or through nanoimprint technology. The grating periods of the first diffractive optical input element and the first diffractive optical output element are the same; the grating periods of the second diffractive optical input element and the second diffractive optical output element are the same. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the waveguide substrate has two opposite surfaces, namely a first surface 051 and a second surface 052; the second diffractive optical input element 031 is located on the same surface or an opposite surface of the waveguide substrate as the first diffractive optical input element 071.
The first diffractive optical input element 031 and the second diffractive optical input element 071 are positioned in the light wave input region of the waveguide substrate; the first diffractive optical input element 031 is used for coupling a first light wave 021 with an incidence angle theta 1 into the waveguide substrate 050, the second diffractive optical input element 071 is used for coupling a second light wave 011 with an incidence angle theta 2 into the waveguide substrate 050, the value range of theta 1 is a and b, the value range of theta 2 is c and d, and the difference between a and d is greater than 30 degrees; in this embodiment, the first light wave 021 and the second light wave 011 are monochromatic light waves emitted by the same light source, for example, light emitted by a pixel on the left of an incident light source is θ 1 when passing through a lens (relay system), and light emitted by a pixel on the right of the incident light source is θ 2 when passing through the lens; the wavelength difference between the first light wave and the second light wave is less than 50nm, such as 40nm, 35nm, 30nm, 25nm, 20nm, 18nm, 16nm, 15nm, and 12 nm; specifically, the principle of reducing the wavelength difference is that fig. 7 can be regarded as the field angle of the grating with the central angle of 0 degree of the collected light wave angle, the range of the angle of the coupled light is-15 °, as can be seen from fig. 7, the wavelength corresponding to the-15 ° field is about 510nm, and the wavelength corresponding to the +15 ° field is about 550 nm. As shown in fig. 8, assuming that the central angles of the two holographic gratings of the first diffractive optical input element 031 and the second diffractive optical input element 071 are +5 ° and-5 °, the respective ranges of the angles of the light rays coupled in are-10 ° -20 ° and-20 ° -10 °, the range of the superimposed field of view is about 40 °, and a field of view larger than 30 ° can be realized. The wavelength corresponding to 15 ° is shifted from about 510nm to 523nm, the wavelength corresponding to 15 ° is shifted from about 550nm to 540nm, the total wavelength difference is about 17nm, and the total wavelength difference is remarkably improved compared with 50nm in fig. 7 (the larger the wavelength difference is, the color nonuniformity in the whole field of view is realized, namely, the chromaticity uniformity is poor).
The first diffractive optical output element 032 and the second diffractive optical output element 072 are located in the light wave output region of the waveguide substrate 050, and are configured to diffract the light wave coupled into the first diffractive optical input element 031 and the second diffractive optical input element 071 out of the waveguide substrate 050, specifically, the first light wave 021 is diffracted out of the waveguide substrate by the first diffractive optical output element to form a third light wave 022; the second light wave 011 is diffracted out of the waveguide substrate by the second diffractive optical output element 072 to form a fourth light wave 012; the third light wave 022 and the fourth light wave 012 are parallel to each other or the third light wave 022 and the fourth light wave 012 intersect at a preset position, so that the uniformity of colors in the whole field of view can be realized. As shown in fig. 3, the reason for the increased chromaticity uniformity is that three types of cones (S, M, L) among the photoreceptors on the retina are different for different wavelengths of stimulation, and fig. 3 shows the spectral response curves of the different cones. The three curves correspond to three cone cells. Corresponding to short (S), medium (M) and long (L) wavelengths, respectively. Assuming that the dominant wavelength of the incident light source is 525nm, when the angle of view is about +15 ° or-15 ° (large angle of view), the wavelength corresponding to the light output from the grating is 500nm or 550nm, and the waveguide output effect is that the left side is blue and the right side is yellow, and in order to make the wavelength of the yellow region green, the dominant wavelength 540nm (which may be set according to actual requirements or 530nm) is provided in the region of large angle of view, and the light of 550nm is pulled to be in the vicinity of 540nm, so that the color uniformity in the entire field of view can be realized.
As shown in fig. 4, this embodiment provides a display device system applying the above display device, which includes an incident light source 001, a relay system 003 is disposed between the incident light source 001 and the light wave input region of the waveguide substrate 050, and the relay system 003 is used for collimating the light wave emitted from the light source.
The incident light source 001 selects a display chip, and the display chip can be an OLED chip, a micro LED chip or an SLM chip; the relay system 003 may be a convex lens. The system consists of the following parts: the display chip 001, the relay system 003 and the display device (holographic waveguide), and also comprises a carrier for mounting the display system;

step 1: receiving an incident light wave;
step 2: the first light wave with the incidence angle theta 1 is coupled into the waveguide substrate through the first diffractive optical input element, and the second light wave with the incidence angle theta 2 is coupled into the waveguide substrate through the second diffractive optical input element; the value range of theta 1 is that a is not less than theta 1 and not more than b, the value range of theta 2 is that c is not less than theta 2 and not more than d, and the difference between a and d is more than 30 degrees; preferably, the first light wave and the second light wave are monochromatic light waves emitted by the same light source, and the wavelength difference is less than 50 nm. Wherein the first light wave propagates in the waveguide substrate at an angle α, and the second light wave propagates in the waveguide substrate at an angle β, sin-1 n1/n2Tan of not more than alpha (or beta)-1l/2h, and the angle difference between alpha and beta is not less than a preset value; where n1 is an external medium refractive index (air is 1), n2 is a refractive index of the first diffractive optical input element or the second diffractive optical input element, θ is a light propagation angle in the waveguide substrate, l is a diameter of the first diffractive optical input element or the second diffractive optical input element, and h is a thickness of the waveguide substrate.
