In the present embodiment, the optical waveguide system 100 includes a waveguide substrate 110, a two-dimensional incoupling grating 120, a folding grating (not numbered), and an outcoupling grating 150.
The waveguide substrate 110 is a medium in which the guided light propagates, the light emits total reflection inside the waveguide substrate 110 for propagating the light of the light source to the human eye, and the waveguide substrate 110 may be a planar optical waveguide. Optionally, the waveguide substrate 110 is made of high-refractive-index glass, and the refractive index of the waveguide substrate 110 is greater than or equal to 1.7 and less than or equal to 2.3, which is beneficial to ensuring the high-refractive-index characteristic of the waveguide substrate 110, and the high refractive index can increase the size of the field angle, so as to implement an optical waveguide sheet with an ultra-large field angle. Of course, different materials can be selected according to actual requirements.
A two-dimensional incoupling grating 120 is disposed on the waveguide substrate 110 for coupling incident light of a light source into the waveguide substrate 110.
In the present embodiment, since the two-dimensional incoupling grating 120 is a two-dimensional grating, the two-dimensional incoupling grating 120 has a plurality of diffraction fields compared to a one-dimensional grating. In this embodiment, light coupled into the waveguide substrate 110 by the two-dimensional coupling grating 120 is diffracted by the two-dimensional coupling grating 120 and then divided into a first diffracted light beam L1 propagating along a first direction and a second diffracted light beam Ln propagating along other directions. Wherein the first diffracted light beam L1 has a first space vector K1, and the second diffracted light beam Ln has a second space vector Kn.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a propagation path of a light ray at a waveguide substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 3 is a side view of fig. 2 relative to fig. 2, where the arrows indicate the general propagation path of the light ray and do not indicate the actual light path of the light ray.
The incident light is coupled into the waveguide substrate 110 by the two-dimensional coupling grating 120 to form a first diffracted light beam L1, which is transmitted in the waveguide substrate 110, is totally reflected and propagated in the waveguide substrate 110, is incident to directly enter the coupling grating 150, and is finally coupled out to the human eye by the coupling grating 150.
In the present embodiment, the coupling-out grating 150 is also a two-dimensional grating and has a plurality of diffraction fields, so that the coupling-out grating 150 not only functions to couple out light in the waveguide substrate 110, but also functions as a pupil expanding.
In the prior art, a method of setting a one-dimensional incoupling grating and a two-dimensional outcoupling grating is often used, and the diffraction directions of light incoupled by the one-dimensional incoupling grating are relatively concentrated, so that when relatively concentrated light enters the outcoupling grating, light emitted from the outcoupling grating will show a problem of middle bright stripes. In addition, the pupil expanding function of the coupling-out grating is limited, light rays of light waves incident on the coupling-out grating on the waveguide substrate are weakened along with the increase of diffraction times, the light rays emitted by the coupling-out grating are distributed unevenly, and the brightness of the central area of the coupled-out image is higher than that of the edge area of the coupled-out image.
In the embodiment, the two-dimensional incoupling grating 120 is disposed, and after the light is incoupled into the waveguide substrate 110 through the two-dimensional incoupling grating 120, light in multiple diffraction directions is generated. In order to couple out the light beams from the coupling-out grating 150, a turning grating is further disposed in the embodiment, the turning grating is located on a propagation path of the second diffracted light beam Ln, which is diffracted by the two-dimensional coupling-in grating 120 and propagates along other directions, on the waveguide substrate 110, and the turning grating can turn the second diffracted light beam Ln to the coupling-out grating 150, so that the light beams in different directions can be coupled out from the coupling-out grating 150, thereby improving the brightness of the edge area of the coupled-out image and improving the uniformity of the coupled-out image.
In order to meet the requirement that the deflecting grating can deflect the second diffracted light beam Ln to the coupled-out grating 150, the space vector Km of the deflecting grating should form a closed vector triangle with the first space vector K1 of the first diffracted light beam L1 and the second space vector Kn of the second diffracted light beam Ln.
The turning grating includes a first turning grating assembly 130 and a second turning grating assembly 140, and the first turning grating assembly 130 and the second turning grating assembly 140 are disposed on the waveguide substrate 110.
The first folding grating assembly 130 is located on the same side of the two-dimensional coupling grating 120 as the coupling grating, and the first folding grating assembly 130 is configured to fold and fold the second diffracted light beam Ln emitted to the outside of the coupling grating 150 to the coupling grating 150.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another propagation path of a light ray on a waveguide substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which arrows indicate the general propagation path of the light ray, and do not indicate the actual optical path of the light ray.
A part of the second diffracted light beam Ln1 diffracted by the two-dimensional coupling grating 120 and propagated in other directions propagates inside the waveguide substrate 110 to the first folding grating assembly 130, and after the second diffracted light beam Ln1 enters the first folding grating assembly 130, it is diffracted inside the first folding grating assembly 130, and then enters the waveguide substrate 110 again, and continues to propagate inside the waveguide substrate 110.
The first folding grating assembly 130 performs a folding function with respect to the second diffracted light beam Ln 1. The refracted light beam acted by the first refracted grating assembly 130 propagates inside the waveguide substrate 110, and is finally received by the coupling grating 150 and coupled out to human eyes.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first folding grating component 130 can fold a portion of the second diffracted light beam Ln1, which is diffracted by the two-dimensional incoupling grating 120 and propagates in other directions, and fold and convert the light to the outcoupling grating 150, so as to improve the energy of the light waves coupled out by the outcoupling grating 150 and increase the energy transfer efficiency of the optical waveguide system 100.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another propagation path of light on a waveguide substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which arrows indicate the general propagation path of light and do not indicate the actual optical path of light.
Specifically, a part of the second diffracted light beam Ln2, which is diffracted by the two-dimensional coupled-in grating 120 to propagate in the other direction, propagates inside the waveguide substrate 110 into the second folding grating assembly 140. After entering the second folding grating assembly 140, the light is emitted and diffracted inside the second folding grating assembly 140, and then enters the waveguide substrate 110 again, and continues to propagate inside the waveguide substrate 110. The second folding grating assembly 140 performs a folding function with respect to the second diffracted light beam Ln 2.
Therefore, in the embodiment, the first folding grating element 130 and the second folding grating element 140 can fold and convert more lights of other diffraction orders of the two-dimensional coupling grating 120, and fold and convert the lights to the coupling grating 150, so as to further improve the utilization efficiency of the coupled lights of the two-dimensional coupling grating 120, improve the energy of the light waves coupled out by the coupling grating 150, increase the energy transfer efficiency of the optical waveguide system 100, and improve the problem of uneven distribution of the coupled lights of the conventional optical waveguide.

The space vector Km4 of the fourth turning grating 142, the second space vector Kn4 of the second diffracted light beam Ln, and the first space vector K1 of the first diffracted light beam L1 form a closed vector triangle, so that the fourth turning grating 142 turns a part of the second diffracted light beam Ln on the first space vector K1, and these light rays can be turned to the coupling grating 150.
Alternatively, the second space vector Kn5 of the second diffracted light beam Ln opposite to the first space vector K may form a closed vector triangle with three of the space vector Km3 of the third folding grating 141 and the space vector Km1 of the first folding grating 131, or form a closed vector triangle with three of the space vector Km4 of the fourth folding grating 142 and the space vector Km2 of the second folding grating 132, so that the light in the second space vector Kn5 direction can be refracted by the third folding grating 141 and the first folding grating 131, or by the fourth folding grating 142 and the second folding grating 132 and then enter the outcoupling grating 150.
