The diffraction optical waveguide can be generally divided into a one-dimensional mydriatic diffraction optical waveguide and a two-dimensional mydriatic diffraction optical waveguide, wherein the two-dimensional mydriatic diffraction optical waveguide has a two-dimensional grating structure (namely, grating periods exist in two directions) in some gratings of a coupling-out area, and signal light orders transmitted inside the waveguide form four orders from the inside of a medium to an interface, and the four orders comprise: total reflection order, coupling-out order, left-side beam split order, right-side beam split order, as shown in fig. 3, correspond to R (0, 0), R (1, 1), R (-2, 0), respectively; this may act as a two-dimensional pupil expansion, with the black dots representing light coupled out perpendicular to the screen. The two-dimensional mydriatic structure needs to penetrate the whole coupling-out area, which is a relatively large-span area, so that the four parameters are required to have relatively high degrees of freedom, and the aim of high efficiency and good non-uniformity of the whole coupling-out area is fulfilled.

In some embodiments, a trapezoid structured optical cell structure 500 is disclosed, as shown in fig. 1, 2, but has two drawbacks: 1) The trapezoid structure naturally has an acute angle structure, the processing recovery difficulty is high, the waveguide structure is a period of a sub-wavelength structure and is usually only hundreds of nanometers, so that the processing recovery is not good enough, the light splitting performance is deteriorated, and the robustness is not good enough; 2) After the upper bottom and the lower bottom of the traditional trapezoid are fixed and high (the duty ratio is determined after three parameters are determined, and the duty ratio is a variable which mainly affects four orders), the waist structure is fixed, the control freedom degree of the waist structure for the coupling-out efficiency of two sides is insufficient, the coupling-out efficiency b of two sides after light splitting is lower although the light splitting efficiency a is higher, the coupling-out efficiency c=a×b of the whole structure has no obvious advantage, the curved trapezoid can keep the light splitting efficiency a ' higher in the application, and the coupling-out efficiency b ' of two sides can be adjusted, so that the coupling-out efficiency c ' =a ' ×b ' of the whole structure is higher.
The invention discloses a diffraction optical waveguide and a display device.
Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 4, 5, and 6a, in a preferred embodiment, a diffractive optical waveguide includes: a waveguide substrate 700, an incoupling grating 600 and a two-dimensional pupil expansion grating 200;
waveguide substrate 700 may be made of glass, optical plastic, or other optically transmissive material;
the incoupling grating 600 is arranged on the waveguide substrate 700 for coupling light into the waveguide substrate 700; the coupling-in grating 600 may employ a one-dimensional grating;
the two-dimensional mydriatic grating 200 is a coupling-out grating, the two-dimensional mydriatic grating 200 is arranged on the waveguide substrate 700, and the two-dimensional mydriatic grating 200 comprises a plurality of optical unit structures 100 arranged in an array for expanding light propagating to the waveguide substrate 700 and simultaneously coupling out from the waveguide substrate 700;
the optical unit structure 100 includes:
the sections are spliced in sequence along a first direction, and the first direction is the X-axis direction in the figure;
the sections shrink in width at the top, middle-upper and bottom ends of the optical unit structure 100, respectively, along a second direction, which is a Y-axis direction in the figure, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction;
The total length of the optical unit structure 100 along the first direction is L, the grating period of the coupling grating is d, and the relationship between L and d is: 0.88 xd < L <1.19 xd.
In the diffractive optical waveguide of this embodiment, the optical unit structure is integrally configured as a curved trapezoid, and the coupling-out efficiency and the conduction efficiency can be adjusted by adjusting the curved trapezoid structure, so that the structure has high two-side light splitting efficiency and two-side coupling-out efficiency, and especially, the structure is excellent at the conduction end of the two-dimensional grating region. Compared with the traditional trapezoid structure, the curved trapezoid structure can adjust the structure morphology of the optical unit in a large degree of freedom in a certain duty ratio range, so that a product of large light splitting efficiency and coupling efficiency on two sides is formed, a simulation experiment result can be referred, and meanwhile, the processability is obviously higher than that of a common trapezoid in the prior art.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the optical unit structure 100 includes four sections, a first section 113, a second section 114, a third section 115, and a fourth section 116, respectively, along a first direction;
the top width of the first section 113 is W1, the bottom width of the first section 113 and the top width of the second section 114 are W2, the bottom width of the second section 114 and the top width of the third section 115 are W3, the bottom width of the third section 115 and the top width of the fourth section 116 are W4, and the bottom width of the fourth section 116 is W5.
As shown in fig. 4, the total length l=l1+l2+l3+l4 of the optical unit structure 100.
The maximum width of the four sections after being spliced is W2, the length is L=L1+L2+L3+L4, wherein the relation between L and the period d of the coupling grating is L <1.2×d, and the preferable L < d; w2 and L have a relationship of W2<0.7 xl.
Simulation experiment 1:
all simulation experiments in this example used a grating with a refractive index of 1.9 and green light with a wavelength of 532 nm.
Simulation experiments are carried out on the coupling-out gratings shown in fig. 2 and 5, and experimental results are shown in table 1, compared with the optical unit structure of the existing trapezoid structure, the optical unit structure of the curved-edge trapezoid (similar to a calabash) structure can have higher middle coupling-out efficiency and two-side light splitting x two-side coupling-out, almost all reach the order of twice of the existing trapezoid, and the rear end of the whole diffraction optical waveguide can have good coupling-out efficiency, namely, the conduction tail end of a two-dimensional grating area.

For the optical unit structure of the traditional trapezoid shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the coupling-out efficiency of the left side and the right side after light splitting is lower than that of the curved trapezoid structure, and from the point of view, the curved trapezoid has a large modulation degree of freedom for the whole duty ratio, because the duty ratio is determined by three parameters (upper bottom, lower bottom and high) of the traditional trapezoid, and the curved trapezoid can break through the duty ratio control to obtain the wind-light efficiency of the left side and the right side outside the traditional trapezoid, the coupling-out efficiency of the left side and the right side after light splitting, and the product of the wind-light efficiency and the coupling-out efficiency of the right side outside the traditional trapezoid.

The structure of the optical unit for comparison is shown with reference to fig. 12, respectively: round, oval, trapezoidal, double diamond, single diamond, curved Bian Tixing.
As shown in fig. 6b, when the light in the waveguide is transmitted along the arrow and transmitted into the dashed frame, a larger intermediate coupling-out efficiency and a larger two-side beam splitting x two-side coupling are required to realize the high efficiency of the end view field, and the intermediate total reflectance is a less important parameter at this position, and an excessive intermediate total reflectance in the dashed frame region causes energy waste. The total reflectivity of the two sides after light splitting only plays a role in a small range, and can be regarded as a negative index. In summary, the curved trapezoid optical unit structure is a structure with very good optical effect within the range of the dashed line frame, which exceeds the conventional shape.
The optical cell structure 100 in fig. 5 is formed by a certain edge gaussian blur of a curved trapezoid. For micro-nano optical processing, the smoother the curve is, the more beneficial to processing, and the sigma parameter of Gaussian blur is adjusted, so that the edge of the two-dimensional structure can be smoothed to different degrees, and the edge morphology changing from 0nm sigma to 200nm sigma and the finally realized optical effect can be realized.
The formula for Gaussian blur is shown above, where σ is the standard deviation of the normal distribution and σ is less than 200nm, preferably less than 100nm.

What needs to be stated is: the sixth trapezoid 106 looks like a rectangle, still being a trapezoid, but looks relatively close to a rectangle due to drawing size limitations only.
From practical application, a plurality of curved-edge trapezoid structures can be formed by utilizing multi-trapezoid splicing, and great design freedom is possessed.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, certain sections of the optical cell structure 100 are formed of rounded trapezoids, either right-angled or inverted.

According to the diffraction optical waveguide and the display device, the optical unit structure in the two-dimensional grating is set to be the curved Bian Tixing, and the coupling-out efficiency and the conduction efficiency can be adjusted by adjusting the curved trapezoid structure, so that the structure has high two-side light splitting efficiency and two-side coupling-out efficiency, and particularly, the structure is excellent at the conduction tail end of the two-dimensional grating region. Compared with the traditional trapezoid structure, the curved trapezoid structure can adjust the structure morphology of the optical unit in a large degree of freedom in a certain duty ratio range, so that a product of large light splitting efficiency and coupling efficiency on two sides is formed, and meanwhile, the processability is obviously higher than that of a common trapezoid in the prior art.
