According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 to 11, the flat lens 20 includes: the optical waveguide array 21 comprises a single-row multi-row sub-waveguide 213 with a rectangular cross section, the two optical waveguide arrays 21 comprise a first optical waveguide array 211 and a second optical waveguide array 212, the sub-waveguide 213 of the first optical waveguide array 211 extends along the X direction and forms a plurality of rows along the Y direction, the sub-waveguide 213 of the second optical waveguide array 212 extends along the Y direction and forms a plurality of rows along the X direction, the first optical waveguide array 211 and the second optical waveguide array 212 are arranged along the Z direction, the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other, the flat lens 20 has a center normal line, the center normal line passes through the center of the flat lens 20 and is parallel to the Z direction, and the opposite sides of the flat lens 20 along the thickness direction are respectively an image source side and an aerial image 80 side.

Here, the extending direction of the sub-waveguide 213 is the length direction of the sub-waveguide 213, the length direction of the single sub-waveguide 213 of the first optical waveguide array 211 is the direction, the plurality of sub-waveguides 213 of the first optical waveguide array 211 are closely laminated and arranged along the Y direction, and the width direction of the single sub-waveguide 213 is the Y direction; the length direction of the single sub-waveguide 213 of the second optical waveguide array 212 is the Y direction, and the plurality of sub-waveguides 213 of the second optical waveguide array 212 are closely laminated along the X direction, and the width direction of the single sub-waveguide 213 is the X direction.

The length directions of the two-layer waveguide 213 are perpendicular, and thus the two-layer waveguide array 21 is said to be in a mutually orthogonal relationship.
