Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a display device and, more specifically, to a display that uses two or more diffractive elements for extending the exit pupil of the display for viewing.
  • a microdisplay-based system can provide full color pixels at 50-100 lines per mm. Such high-resolution is generally suitable for a virtual display.
  • a virtual display typically consists of a microdisplay to provide an image and an optical arrangement for manipulating light emerging from the image in such a way that it is perceived as large as a direct view display panel.
  • a virtual display can be monocular or binocular.
  • exit pupil The size of the beam of light emerging from imaging optics toward the eye is called exit pupil.
  • NED Near-Eye Display
  • the exit pupil is typically of the order of 10 mm in diameter. Further enlarging the exit pupil makes using the virtual display significantly easier, because the device can be put at a distance from the eye. Thus, such a display no longer qualifies as an NED, for obvious reasons.
  • Head-Up Displays are examples of the virtual display with a sufficiently large exit pupil.
  • WO 99/52002 discloses a method of enlarging the exit pupil of a virtual display.
  • the disclosed method uses three successive holographic optical elements (HOEs) to enlarge the exit pupil.

  • light from an image source 2 is incident upon the first HOE, or H 1 , which is disposed on one side of the substrate 6 .
  • Light from H 1 coupled to the substrate 6 , is directed toward the second HOE, or H 2 , where the distribution of light is expanded in one direction.
  • H 2 also redirects the expanded light distribution to the third HOE, or H 3 , where the light distribution is further expanded in another direction.
  • the holographic elements can be on any side of the substrate 6 .
  • H 3 also redirects the expanded light distribution outward from the substrate surface on which H 3 is disposed.
  • the optical system operates as a beam-expanding device, which maintains the general direction of the light beam. Such a device is also referred to as an exit pupil extender (EPE).
  • EPE exit pupil extender
  • the energy of the exit beam relative to the input beam depends upon the coupling between adjacent optical elements. As the energy output of the image source is limited, it is desirable to achieve a high coupling efficiency between adjacent optical elements.
  • This objective can be achieved by using a diffractive optical element having the grating lines are oriented in a certain direction as optical coupler disposing between the input optical element and the exit optical element.

  • the optical elements 30 , 50 , 50 ′ and the couplers 40 , 40 ′ are diffractive optical elements (DOEs), for example. Each of the DOEs has a plurality of grating lines for diffraction purposes. As shown, the optical element 30 has a plurality of grating lines 32 ; the optical element 40 ( 40 ′) has a plurality of grating lines 42 and the optical element 50 ( 50 ′) has a plurality of grating lines 52 .

  • the substrate 20 has a first side 22 and a second side 24 .
  • the input beam 70 enters the EPE 10 on one side of the substrate 20 and exit beams 80 , 80 ′ exit the EPE 10 on a different side of the substrate 20 , in a direction substantially parallel to the input beam.
  • the grating lines 32 and 52 in DOEs 30 and 50 ( 50 ′) are substantially parallel to the Y-axis.
  • the grating lines in the coupler DOEs 40 ( 40 ′) are substantially at a 60-degree angle in reference to the Y-axis, as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the light entering one side of the DOEs 40 ( 40 ′) is trapped in the grating area between the first side 22 and the second side 24 until it emerges out from the other side of the DOEs 40 ( 40 ′).
  • the shape of the DOEs 40 ( 40 ′) is designed so that, at the output end, the rays leaving the grating area are substantially parallel to the X-axis, as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the grating periods in all DOEs 30 , 40 ( 40 ′) and 50 ( 50 ′) are substantially the same.
  • the DOE 30 and 50 ( 50 ′) have the same period, the DOE 40 is allowed to deviate from those slightly without disturbing the functioning of the EPE system.
  • each of the gratings has a unique grating profile, optimized to its function.
  • DOE 30 and DOE 40 ( 40 ′) typically have a deep profile and a proper filling ratio.
  • the beam 70 is diffracted and reflected, due to total internal reflection (TIR) on one side of substrate 20 (if the DOE 30 is disposed on the upper side 22 , then TIR occurs on the lower side 24 ) toward the DOEs 40 ( 40 ′) substantially along the direction 72 ( 72 ′).

  • the beam enters the DOEs 50 ( 50 ′) substantially along the direction 74 ( 74 ′), which is substantially the same as direction 72 ( 72 ′). It is important to ensure that the beam encounters the grating 40 ( 40 ′) an even number of times. Otherwise the beam does not enter DOE 50 ( 50 ′) exactly at the correct direction. Finally, the beam exits the DOEs 50 , 50 ′ as exit beams 80 , 80 ′. It should be noted, however, that the cross section of the exit beams 80 , 80 ′ is larger than that of the input beam 70 as the input beam is expanded in the DOEs both in the Y and X axes. As shown in FIG.
  • the incident angle of the light beam entering the DOE 40 is substantially along the direction 72 , which is substantially in the XZ plane.
  • the direction 72 can be calculated from the conical grating equations, and generally in practical cases, the beam in the direction 72 does not exactly travel in the XZ plane, but deviates some degrees from that.

  • the grating lines 42 are substantially at a 60-degree angle in reference to the Y-axis.
  • the grating lines 42 are substantially at a 60-degree conical angle in reference to the incident direction 72 (see FIG. 3 ).
  • the conical angle can deviate from 60 degrees as long as in the diffraction there exists only two reflected diffraction modes, zero and first order.
  • the beam is, in general, not perpendicular to the grating lines.
  • the conical angle is defined from the perpendicular position.
  • This condition depends on the incoming beam angles ( 70 ), grating period and on the refractive index of the material.
  • This acceptable angular space must be calculated case by case using the conical diffraction formulas. This acceptable angular space is generally so large, that the system works in most of the practical cases, even wide field of view cases.
  • the angle of the leaving edge of the DOE 40 ( 40 ′) must be such that this condition is fulfilled.
  • This angle can be calculated from the conical diffraction formulas and the angular spread of the incoming beams.
  • the leaving edge of DOE 40 ( 40 ′) thus forms an angle slightly larger than 30 degrees with respect to the Y-axis.
  • the DOE 40 ( 40 ′) is typically a binary type grating and, in the geometry described in this invention, the diffraction efficiency of the first diffraction order can be as high as 90%. Furthermore, the grating efficiency can be tuned to be polarization independent with a proper filling ratio.
  • the DOE 40 ′ is substantially a mirror image of the DOE 40 .

  • the beam expansion in the exit beams 80 , 80 ′ as compared to the input beam 70 is partly due to the different dimensions and shapes in the various DOEs, and partly due to the multiple diffraction and total internal reflection (TIR).
